1 This letter comes from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who share with us the same priceless trust in our God and Savior Jesus Christ, the one who is truly good and right.

3 Through his divine power we have been given everything that's important to live a God-centered life. This comes through knowing him who called us to himself by his own glory and goodness. In this way he's given us wonderful, priceless promises.

4 Through these promises you can share in the divine nature, being rid of the corruption caused by this world's evil desires.

5 For this same reason, do everything you can! Add to your trust in God, goodness; add to goodness, knowledge;

8 The more you have these qualities, the more they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 For anyone who doesn't have such qualities is short-sighted, or blind. They forget that they've been cleansed from their past sins.
ⲑ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ϣⲟⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲟⲙϫⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ.
10 So, brothers and sisters, be all the more determined to make sure you are truly “called and chosen.” If you do this, you won't ever fall.
ⲓ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲙⲁⲗⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲓⲏⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱϩⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲗⲁϯ ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
11 You will receive a tremendous welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)

12 That's why I always remind you about these things, even though you know them already, and you stand firm in the truth that you possess.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ϯⲛⲁϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲕⲉⲡⲉⲣ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ.
13 But I still think it's a good idea to encourage you by giving you reminders while I live.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲫⲟⲥⲟⲛ ϯϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ.
14 I know the time when I shall leave this life will be coming soon— our Lord Jesus Christ has made this clear to me.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ϩⲱϥ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
15 I will do my best so that when I'm gone you will always be able to remember these things.

16 We didn't follow made-up myths when we told you about the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ—we saw his majesty for ourselves.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣϥⲱ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲃ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧϫⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲡⲁⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲙⲉⲧⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice of majestic glory spoke to him and announced, “This is my Son, the one I love, and who truly pleases me.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲓⲧ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϯⲙⲁϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱϥ.
18 We ourselves heard this voice speak from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

19 We also have the confirming word of prophecy that's absolutely trustworthy, and you will benefit from paying close attention to it. It's like a lamp that shines in a dark place until the day dawns, and the morning star shines to illuminate your minds.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϯ⳿ϩⲑⲏⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϧⲏⲃⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛ ⲭⲁⲕⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ϣⲁϥϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲫ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
20 Most of all you should realize that no prophecy of scripture is a matter for interpretation based on the whims of an individual,
ⲕ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲃⲱⲗ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
21 for no prophecy originated in human ideas, but prophets spoke for God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
