1tekoG5080

"to melt, melt down," is used in the Passive Voice in 2Pe 3:12, "shall melt" (lit., "shall be melted"), of the elements (Eng., "thaw" is etymologically connected).

Note: In 2Pe 3:10, the AV "shall melt" represents the verb luo, "to loosen, dissolve" (RV, "shall be dissolved," Passive Voice); so in 2Pe 1:3-12.
