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 Petrus, servus, et Apostolus Iesu Christi, iis, qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in iustitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord,
Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Iesu Domini nostri:
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.
quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam, et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem eius, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,
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.
per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes eius, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.
5 Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge:
Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,
6 And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines:
in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,
7 And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue.
in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis charitatem.
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:
Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos, nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Iesu Christi cognitione.
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.
Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.
10 Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.
Quapropter fratres magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.
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)
Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri, et Salvatoris Iesu Christi. (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.
Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.
13 For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance,
Iustum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:
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.
certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Iesus Christus significavit mihi.
15 I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing.
Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.
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:
Non enim doctas fabulas secuti notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Iesu Christi virtutem, et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.
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.
Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem, et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum huiuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.
18 And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.
Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.
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.
Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:
20 So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation.
hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.
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.
Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
