[2 Peter 1]
1:1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are allotted an equally precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 1:2 may grace and peace be multiplied to you* in the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
1:3 As his divine* power has been bestowed to us as a gift, (all things pertaining to life and godliness*), through the full knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue; 1:4 through which he has bestowed to us as a gift his great and precious promises; that* through these you*may become partners of the divine* nature, having escaped the corruption in the world with itslust.
1:5 Now also for this same reason, besides having brought in all diligence, supply in your* faith, virtue, and in your* virtue, knowledge 1:6 and in your* knowledge, self-control, and in your* self-control, endurance, and in your* endurance, godliness*; 1:7 and in your* godliness*, brotherly-love, and in your* brotherly-love, love*. 1:8 For* if these things exist and increase in you*, none designate you* idle or unfruitful toward the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1:9 For* the one in whom these things are not present is blind, being short-sighted, having forgetfulness of the cleansing from his old sins. 1:10 Hence brethren, be diligent to make* your* calling and choice steadfast; for* if you* are doing these things, you* may never* trip; 1:11 for* so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you*.
1:12 Hence I will not neglect to remind you* about these things habitually, although you* know them and have been established in the present truth. 1:13 And I deemed it righteous, inasmuch as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you* in a reminder; 1:14 knowing that the removal of my tabernacle is coming quickly, just-as our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me. 1:15 But, I will also be diligent to have these things in remembrance for you* every-time after my exodus. 1:16 For* we did not follow wisely devised fables, when we made known to you* the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we became eyewitnesses of his majesty. 1:17 For* he received honor and glory from God the Father when such a voice was carried to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted. 1:18 And we heard this voice being carried from heaven, being with him in the holy mountain. 1:19 And we have the steadfast prophetic word; to which you* are doing well and taking-heed, (as to a lamp appearing in a dreary place, until the day might dawn and the<F> morning-star might rise) in your* hearts. 1:20 Knowing this first, that every prophecy of Scripture does not come from oneМs own interpretation. 1:21 For* no prophecy was ever broughtabout by the will of man; but the holy men of God spoke the word being carried by the Holy Spirit.
