2 Peter 1
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
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 in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
3 As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and piety, through the acknowledgment of Him who called us through glory and virtue,
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 which the most great and precious promises have been given to us, that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption [and] lust in the world.
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 And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with virtue—knowledge,
So, with this, bringing in all diligence, add to your faith virtue; but to virtue knowledge,
6 and with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love.
8 for these things being in you and abounding, make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the 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 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old 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, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may 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 in this way the entrance into the continuous kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplemented to you. (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 be ready to remind you about these things, although you have known [them] and have been established in the present truth,
Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth.
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance:
14 having known that the laying aside of my tent is soon, even as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed 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 also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
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 having not followed out skillfully devised fables, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having become 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 having received honor and glory from God the Father, such a voice being borne to Him by the Excellent Glory: “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted”;
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 heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at 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 And we have a more firm prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day may dawn, and [the] morning star may arise 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 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Writing comes of private exposition,
While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution is not.
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought 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.
