2 Peter 1]

     ^1:1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who were allotted an equally precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ^1:2 may grace and peace be multiplied to you^* in the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

     ^1:3 As his divine^* power has been bestowed to us as a gift, (all things pertaining to life and devoutness), through the full knowledge of the one who called us through glory and virtue; ^1:4through which it has been bestowed to us as a gift, the precious and greatest promises; in order that you^* might become partners of the divine^* nature through these things, having fled away from the corruption in the world among its lust.

     ^1:5 Now also for this same thing, besides having brought in all diligence, supply^* in your^* faith, virtue, and in your^* virtue, knowledge ^1:6 and in your^* knowledge, self-control, and in your^* self-control, endurance, and in your^* endurance, devoutness; ^1:7 and in your^* devoutness, brotherly-love, and in your^* brotherly-love, love^*. ^1:8 For^*if these things are existing and increasing in you^*, none will designate you^* idle nor unfruitful toward the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.^1:9 For^* the one is blind in whom these things are not present^*, being short-sighted, having takenon himself the forgetfulness of {i.e. deliberately forgot} the cleansing from his old sins.

     ^1:10 Hence brethren, be^* more diligent to make^* your^* calling and choice steadfast; for^*, you^*should never trip someday while practicing these things; ^1:11 for^* so the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you^*.

     ^1:12 Hence, I will habitually not be neglecting to remind you^* concerning these things, although knowing them and having been established in the present^* truth. ^1:13 But I am deeming itrighteous, inasmuch as I am in this tabernacle, to awaken you^* with a reminder; ^1:14 knowing that the removal of my tabernacle is coming quickly, just-as our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me. ^1:15But I will also be diligent, each-time, to have you^* in remembrance of these things, to practicethem after my exodus. ^1:16 For^* we did not follow wisely devised fables, when we made known to you^* the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but in that, we became eyewitnesses of that majesty. ^1:17 For^* having received honor and glory from God the Father, when such a voice was carried to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted. ^1:18And we heard this voice, having been carried from heaven, being together with him in the holy mountain. ^1:19 And we have the steadfast prophetic word, (as to a lamp appearing in a dreary place, until the day should dawn and the ^{F} morning-star might rise), to which you^* are doing^*well, and taking-heed in your^* hearts. ^1:20 Knowing this first, that every prophecy of Scripture does not come^* from one's own interpretation. ^1:21 For^* no prophecy was ever brought about bythe will of man, but the holy men of God spoke the word being carried by the Holy Spirit.
