2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have received like precious faith with us through [the] righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
Simon Petrus, servus et apostolus Jesu Christi, iis qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in justitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Jesu Christi.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in [the] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Jesu Domini nostri:
3 As his divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us by glory and virtue,
Quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem ejus, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
4 through which he has given to us the greatest and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of [the] divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes ejus, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.
5 But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
6 in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance godliness,
in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7 in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis caritatem.
8 for these things existing and abounding in you make [you] to be neither idle nor unfruitful as regards the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Jesu Christi cognitione.
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins.
Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;
Quapropter fratres, magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
11 for thus shall the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ be richly furnished unto you. (aiōnios g166)
Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri et Salvatoris Jesu Christi. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing [them] and established in the present truth.
Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.
13 But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance,
Justum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
14 knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily [to take place], as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;
certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Jesus Christus significavit mihi.
15 but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, [in your power] to call to mind these things.
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
16 For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Non enim doctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Jesu Christi virtutem et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
17 For he received from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight;
Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum hujuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.
18 and this voice we heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
19 And we have the prophetic word [made] surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until [the] day dawn and [the] morning star arise in your hearts;
Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
20 knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,
hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.
21 for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [the] Holy Spirit.
Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
