2 Peter 1
1 SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
Shimon Kipha, a servant and apostle of Yeshua Meshikha, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha:
2 grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord,
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua our Lord,
3 as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude:
seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;
4 whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.―
by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence;
Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6 and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety;
and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;
7 and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love.
and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8 For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
9 But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble:
Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua Meshikha. (aiōnios g166)
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you:
I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
14 knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.
knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Yeshua Meshikha made clear to me.
15 I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.
Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
16 For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts.
We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:
20 Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man’s own suggestions.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.
For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Rukha d'Qudsha.
