Πετρου Β΄ 1
1 συμεων πετροσ δουλοσ και αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου τοισ ισοτιμον ημιν λαχουσιν πιστιν εν δικαιοσυνη του θεου ημων και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου
Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
2 χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη πληθυνθειη εν επιγνωσει του θεου και ιησου του κυριου ημων
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 ωσ παντα ημιν τησ θειασ δυναμεωσ αυτου τα προσ ζωην και ευσεβειαν δεδωρημενησ δια τησ επιγνωσεωσ του καλεσαντοσ ημασ δια δοξησ και αρετησ
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;
4 δι ων τα τιμια ημιν και μεγιστα επαγγελματα δεδωρηται ινα δια τουτων γενησθε θειασ κοινωνοι φυσεωσ αποφυγοντεσ τησ εν κοσμω εν επιθυμια φθορασ
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.
5 και αυτο τουτο δε σπουδην πασαν παρεισενεγκαντεσ επιχορηγησατε εν τη πιστει υμων την αρετην εν δε τη αρετη την γνωσιν
Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6 εν δε τη γνωσει την εγκρατειαν εν δε τη εγκρατεια την υπομονην εν δε τη υπομονη την ευσεβειαν
and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
7 εν δε τη ευσεβεια την φιλαδελφιαν εν δε τη φιλαδελφια την αγαπην
and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8 ταυτα γαρ υμιν υπαρχοντα και πλεοναζοντα ουκ αργουσ ουδε ακαρπουσ καθιστησιν εισ την του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου επιγνωσιν
For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 ω γαρ μη παρεστιν ταυτα τυφλοσ εστιν μυωπαζων ληθην λαβων του καθαρισμου των παλαι αυτου αμαρτιων
For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 διο μαλλον αδελφοι σπουδασατε βεβαιαν υμων την κλησιν και εκλογην ποιεισθαι ταυτα γαρ ποιουντεσ ου μη πταισητε ποτε
Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 ουτωσ γαρ πλουσιωσ επιχορηγηθησεται υμιν η εισοδοσ εισ την αιωνιον βασιλειαν του κυριου ημων και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου (aiōnios g166)
For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 διο ουκ αμελησω αει υμασ υπομιμνησκειν περι τουτων καιπερ ειδοτασ και εστηριγμενουσ εν τη παρουση αληθεια
Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 δικαιον δε ηγουμαι εφ οσον ειμι εν τουτω τω σκηνωματι διεγειρειν υμασ εν υπομνησει
I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
14 ειδωσ οτι ταχινη εστιν η αποθεσισ του σκηνωματοσ μου καθωσ και ο κυριοσ ημων ιησουσ χριστοσ εδηλωσεν μοι
knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15 σπουδασω δε και εκαστοτε εχειν υμασ μετα την εμην εξοδον την τουτων μνημην ποιεισθαι
Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
16 ου γαρ σεσοφισμενοισ μυθοισ εξακολουθησαντεσ εγνωρισαμεν υμιν την του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου δυναμιν και παρουσιαν αλλ εποπται γενηθεντεσ τησ εκεινου μεγαλειοτητοσ
For we did not follow cunningly 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 λαβων γαρ παρα θεου πατροσ τιμην και δοξαν φωνησ ενεχθεισησ αυτω τοιασδε υπο τησ μεγαλοπρεπουσ δοξησ ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ μου ο αγαπητοσ εισ ον εγω ευδοκησα
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."
18 και ταυτην την φωνην ημεισ ηκουσαμεν εξ ουρανου ενεχθεισαν συν αυτω οντεσ εν τω ορει τω αγιω
We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 και εχομεν βεβαιοτερον τον προφητικον λογον ω καλωσ ποιειτε προσεχοντεσ ωσ λυχνω φαινοντι εν αυχμηρω τοπω εωσ ου ημερα διαυγαση και φωσφοροσ ανατειλη εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
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:
20 τουτο πρωτον γινωσκοντεσ οτι πασα προφητεια γραφησ ιδιασ επιλυσεωσ ου γινεται
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 ου γαρ θεληματι ανθρωπου ηνεχθη ποτε προφητεια αλλ υπο πνευματοσ αγιου φερομενοι ελαλησαν αγιοι θεου ανθρωποι
For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
