|
| Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: | |
|
2
|
|
| Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; | |
|
3
|
|
| seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us through glory and virtue; | |
|
4
|
|
| whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. | |
|
5
|
|
| Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge; | |
|
6
|
|
| and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness; | |
|
7
|
|
| and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love. | |
|
8
|
|
| For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. | |
|
9
|
|
| For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. | |
|
10
|
|
| Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: | |
|
11
|
|
| for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. | |
|
12
|
|
| Wherefore I shall not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you. | |
|
13
|
|
| And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; | |
|
14
|
|
| knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me. | |
|
15
|
|
| Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance. | |
|
16
|
|
| For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. | |
|
17
|
|
| For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: | |
|
18
|
|
| and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. | |
|
19
|
|
| And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts: | |
|
20
|
|
| knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. | |
|
21
|
|
| For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spake, being moved by the Holy Spirit. |
