1: τήκομαι

(Strong's #5080 — Verb — teko — tay'-ko )

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

Note: In verse 10, the AV "shall melt" represents the verb luo, "to loosen, dissolve" (RV, "shall be dissolved," Passive Voice); so in vv. 11,12.
