Simon
Peter,
a bond-servant
and apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
To those
who have received
a faith
of the same kind
as ours,
by the righteousness
of our God
and Savior,
Jesus
Christ:
2
Grace
and peace
be multiplied
to you in the knowledge
of God
and of Jesus
our Lord;
3
seeing
that His divine
power
has granted
to us everything
pertaining
to life
and godliness,
through
the true knowledge
of Him who called
us by His own
glory
and excellence.
4
For by these
He has granted
to us His precious
and magnificent
promises,
so
that by them you may become
partakers
of the divine
nature,
having escaped
the corruption
that is in the world
by lust.
5
Now
for this
very
reason also,
applying
all
diligence,
in your faith
supply
moral
excellence, and in your
moral
excellence,
knowledge,
6
and in your knowledge,
self-control,
and in your
self-control,
perseverance,
and in your
perseverance,
godliness,
7
and in your godliness,
brotherly
kindness, and in your
brotherly
kindness,
love.
8
For if these
qualities are yours
and are increasing,
they render
you neither
useless
nor
unfruitful
in the true knowledge
of our Lord
Jesus
Christ.
9
For he who
lacks
these
qualities is blind
or short-sighted,
having forgotten
his purification
from his former
sins.
10
Therefore,
brethren,
be all the more
diligent
to make
certain
about His calling
and choosing
you; for as long as you practice
these things,
you will never
stumble;
11
for in this way
the entrance
into the eternal
kingdom
of our Lord
and Savior
Jesus
Christ
will be abundantly
supplied
to you.
12
Therefore,
I will always
be ready
to remind
you of these things,
even though
you already know
them, and have been established
in the truth
which is present
with you.
13
I consider
it right,
as long
as I am
in this
earthly dwelling,
to stir
you up by way
of reminder,
14
knowing
that the laying aside
of my earthly dwelling
is imminent,
as also
our Lord
Jesus
Christ
has made clear
to me.
15
And I will also
be diligent
that at any time
after
my departure
you will be able
to call
these things
to mind.
16
For we did not follow
cleverly devised
tales
when we made known
to you the power
and coming
of our Lord
Jesus
Christ,
but we were eyewitnesses
of His majesty.
17
For when He received
honor
and glory
from God
the Father,
such
an utterance
as this was made
to Him by the Majestic
Glory,
"This
is My beloved
Son
with whom
I am well-pleased "--
18
and we ourselves
heard
this
utterance
made
from heaven
when we were with Him on the holy
mountain.
19
So we have
the prophetic
word
made more sure,
to which
you do
well
to pay attention
as to a lamp
shining
in a dark
place,
until
the day
dawns
and the morning star
arises
in your hearts.
20
But know
this
first
of all, that no
prophecy
of Scripture
is a matter of one's own
interpretation,
21
for no
prophecy
was ever
made
by an act of human
will,
but men
moved
by the Holy
Spirit
spoke
from God.
