2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;
Seeing that his Divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness;
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust;
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge,
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control endurance, and to endurance godliness,
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do 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 will never fall.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus (the) Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah made clear to me.
knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:
And we have more sure the prophetic word, to which ye do well in taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts;
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture cometh from private interpretation.
21 For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
For prophecy never came by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.
