2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter a seruant and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to you which haue obteined like precious faith with vs by the righteousnesse of our God and Sauiour Iesus Christ:
Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord,
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that perteine vnto life and godlinesse, through the acknowledging of him that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue.
as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue.
4 Whereby most great and precious promises are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should be partakers of the diuine nature, in that ye flee the corruption, which is in the worlde through lust.
Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust.
5 Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge:
Now this same thing also, having applied all eagerness, furnish in your faith, virtue, and in virtue, knowledge,
6 And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines:
and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, piety,
7 And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue.
and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love.
8 For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ:
For these things existing in you and abounding, it leads to not being idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For he that hath not these things, is blinde, and can not see farre off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes.
For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being near-sighted, having deliberately forgotten the purification of his former sins.
10 Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.
Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble.
11 For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though that ye haue knowledge, and be stablished in the present trueth.
Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth.
13 For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance,
But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory.
14 Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed me.
Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me.
15 I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing.
And also I will endeavor for you to always have, after my departure, the memory of these things to apply.
16 For we followed not deceiuable fables when we opened vnto you the power, and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our eyes we saw his maiestie:
For we revealed to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, not men who followed in cunningly devised myths, but men who became eyewitnesses of the majesty of that man.
17 For he receiued of God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voyce to him from that excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.
For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.
And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.
19 We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts.
And we have the prophetic word sure, to which ye do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in your hearts.
20 So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture comes to pass of a personal interpretation.
21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.
For no prophecy was ever brought by a will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being led by the Holy Spirit.
