2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter a seruant and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to you which haue obteined like precious faith with vs by the righteousnesse of our God and Sauiour Iesus Christ:
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord,
grace and peace be multiplied unto you, in the acknowledgement of God, and of Jesus our Lord;
3 According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that perteine vnto life and godlinesse, through the acknowledging of him that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue.
as his divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who hath called us by that glory and virtue,
4 Whereby most great and precious promises are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should be partakers of the diuine nature, in that ye flee the corruption, which is in the worlde through lust.
by which are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge:
And to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude;
6 And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines:
and to fortitude knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience piety;
7 And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue.
and to piety brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection charity.
8 For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ:
For if these be in you and abound, they will not suffer you to be idle, nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For he that hath not these things, is blinde, and can not see farre off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes.
But he, that hath not these, is blind, or short-sighted, having forgot his baptismal purification from his former sins.
10 Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.
Wherefore, my brethren, be the more diligent thus to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things ye shall never fall.
11 For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be administered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though that ye haue knowledge, and be stablished in the present trueth.
Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance,
And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:
14 Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed me.
knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing.
And I will endeavour that after my departure also ye may always be able to call these things to remembrance.
16 For we followed not deceiuable fables when we opened vnto you the power, and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our eyes we saw his maiestie:
For we did not follow artfully devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 For he receiued of God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voyce to him from that excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.
For He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice came to Him from the magnificent glory, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.
And this voice, from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount.
19 We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts.
We have also the more sure word of the prophets, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning-star rise in your hearts:
20 So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation;
21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.
for prophecy was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.
