2PET 1:1
2 Peter 1:1
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:2
2 Peter 1:2
|
|
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through
the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:3
2 Peter 1:3
|
|
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: |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:4
2 Peter 1:4
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:5
2 Peter 1:5
|
|
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to
your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:6
2 Peter 1:6
|
|
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
patience; and to patience godliness; |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:7
2 Peter 1:7
|
|
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to
brotherly kindness charity. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:8
2 Peter 1:8
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:9
2 Peter 1:9
|
|
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and
cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:10
2 Peter 1:10
|
|
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence
to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never
fall: |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:11
2 Peter 1:11
|
|
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto
you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:12
2 Peter 1:12
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:13
2 Peter 1:13
|
|
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this
tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:14
2 Peter 1:14
|
|
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my
tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:15
2 Peter 1:15
|
|
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able
after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:16
2 Peter 1:16
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:17
2 Peter 1:17
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:18
2 Peter 1:18
|
|
And this voice which came from heaven we heard,
when we were with him in the holy mount. |
|
|
|
|
2PET 1:19
2 Peter 1:19
|
|
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: |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:20
2 Peter 1:20
|
|
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the
scripture is of any private interpretation. |
| |
|
|
|
2PET 1:21
2 Peter 1:21
|
|
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. |
