King James Version
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those
who
through the righteousness of our
God and Savior
Jesus Christ have
received
a
faith
as
precious
as
ours
:
Simon Peter, a servant and an
apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that
have
obtained
like
precious
faith
with
us
through the righteousness of God and our
Saviour
Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace be multiplied to
you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord .
Grace and peace be multiplied unto
you through the knowledge of God ,
and of Jesus our Lord ,
His divine power has
given us everything
we
need
for
life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who
called us by
His
own
glory and excellence.
According
as
his divine power hath
given unto
us all
things
that
pertain
unto
life and godliness ,
through the knowledge of him that
hath
called us to
glory and virtue:
Through
these
He
has
given us His
precious
and magnificent
promises ,
so
that through
them
you
may
become
partakers of the divine nature, now
that
you
have
escaped the corruption in the world caused
by
evil
desires
.
Whereby
are
given unto
us exceeding
great
and precious
promises :
that by
these
ye
might
be
partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that
is
in the world through
lust
.
For
this very
reason
, make
every
effort
to
add to your faith virtue; and to virtue ,
knowledge;
And
beside
this, giving
all
diligence,
add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
and to knowledge ,
self-control
; and to self-control,
perseverance
; and to perseverance,
godliness;
And to knowledge temperance
; and to temperance
patience
; and to patience
godliness;
and to godliness ,
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness ,
love
.
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity
.
For if you
possess
these qualities
and
continue
to
grow
in them
, they will
keep
you from
being
ineffective
and
unproductive
in your
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For if these things
be
in you
, and
abound,
they make
you that
ye
shall
neither
be
barren
nor
unfruitful
in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But whoever
lacks
these traits
is nearsighted
to
the
point
of
blindness
, having
forgotten that he has
been
cleansed
from his past
sins.
But he
that
lacketh
these things
is blind
, and
cannot
see
afar
off,
and
hath
forgotten that he was
purged
from his old
sins.
Therefore
, brothers
, strive
to make your calling and election sure .
For if you
practice
these things you
will
never
stumble
,
Wherefore
the
rather
, brethren
, give
diligence
to make your calling and election sure :
for if ye
do
these things, ye
shall
never
fall:
and
you will
receive
a
lavish
reception
into the eternal
kingdom of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
For
so
an
entrance
shall
be
ministered
unto
you abundantly
into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
Therefore
I will always
remind
you of these things, even
though you
know them and are
established in the truth you
now
have
.
Wherefore
I will not
be
negligent
to
put
you always
in
remembrance
of these things, though ye
know them ,
and be
established in the present
truth.
I think it is
right
to
refresh
your
memory
as long as I live
in the
tent
of
my
body
,
Yea,
I think it meet,
as long as I am
in this
tabernacle
, to
stir
you
up
by
putting
you
in
remembrance;
because
I
know
that this tent
will
soon
be
laid
aside
, as our Lord Jesus Christ has
made
clear
to
me.
Knowing
that shortly
I
must
put
off
this my
tabernacle
, even
as our Lord Jesus Christ hath
shewed
me.
And
I will make
every
effort
to
ensure
that after
my
departure,
you
will
be able to recall
these things at
all
times
.
Moreover
I will endeavour
that ye
may
be able after
my
decease
to have
these things always
in
remembrance
.
For we did
not follow
cleverly
devised fables when we made known to
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we
were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
For we have
not followed
cunningly
devised fables ,
when we made known unto
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For He received honor
and
glory
from God the Father when the
voice
came to Him from the Majestic
Glory, saying,
“
This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ”
For he received from God the Father honour
and
glory,
when there
came such
a
voice
to him from the excellent
glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
And we
ourselves
heard
this voice from heaven when we were with Him on
the holy mountain
.
And this voice which
came
from heaven we
heard,
when we were with him in
the holy mount
.
We also
have the
word of the
prophets
as
confirmed
beyond
doubt.
And
you
will
do well to
pay
attention
to
it
, as to
a lamp
shining
in a dark place, until the day dawns
and the morning
star rises
in your hearts .
We have also
a
more
sure
word of prophecy;
whereunto
ye
do well that
ye
take
heed
, as unto
a light
that
shineth
in a dark place, until the day dawn,
and the day
star arise
in your hearts :
Above
all
, you
must
understand
that no prophecy of Scripture comes
from
one’s
own
interpretation.
Knowing
this
first
, that no prophecy of the
scripture is
of
any
private
interpretation.
For no
such
prophecy was
ever
brought
forth
by the will of man ,
but men spoke
from
God as they were carried
along
by the Holy Spirit
.
For the
prophecy came
not
in
old
time
by the will of man :
but holy
men of
God spake
as they were moved
by the Holy Ghost
.
