Epangelma denotes what has been promised, whether granted to readers or awaited in connection with new heavens and a new earth.

The two occurrences present epangelma as what is promised: plural items granted through which readers may participate in the divine nature, and a singular promise by which new heavens and a new earth are awaited.

   In 2 Peter 1:4, the accusative plural form occurs in the clause about precious and very great promises being granted, followed by participation in the divine nature and escape from corruption. In 2 Peter 3:13, the accusative singular form occurs in the statement that new heavens and a new earth are awaited according to his promise; the APB renders the clause "according to his promise we look for new heavens and a new earth."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "promises" in 2 Peter 1:4 and "promise" in 2 Peter 3:13. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation without isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
