2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness with us have been made equal, through the righteousness of our Lord and our Redeemer Jeshu Meshiha.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
As He who all (things) which of the divine power are unto life and godliness hath given (us), through the knowledge of Him who hath called us unto the glory of him and of virtue,
4 Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
by annunciations great and precious which he hath given to you, that by them you may be partakers of the divine nature, while you escape the corruption of the lusts which are in the world;
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
So, with this, bringing in all diligence, add to your faith virtue; but to virtue knowledge,
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.
8 For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For while these are found with you, and abound, neither slothfulness nor unfruitfulness will stand against you in the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
9 But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
For he with whom these are not found is blind, and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purification of his former sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
Upon this the more, my brethren, be careful, that by your good works your calling and your election you may confirm; for, while you do these, you will never lapse;
11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
for so abundantly shall be given to you the entrance of the eternal kingdom of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth.
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance:
14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be, ) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know.
15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty.
17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
For when he received from Aloha the Father honour and glory, while a voice came to him as this, after the glorious beauty of his majesty, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted;
18 And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
we also this voice heard from heaven, as it came to him when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
We have that which is sure also, the word of prophecy; that into which you do well to look, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the sun arise in your hearts.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution is not.
21 For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
For not by the will of man came any prophecy, but while by the Holy Spirit led spake the holy men of God.
