< 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:
Symeon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to them who have obtained like precious faith with us, through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the acknowledgment of God and of Jesus our Lord!
Favor and peace be multiplied to you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.
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 his divine power has gifted to us all things which are necessary to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and 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.
On account of which, the greatest and most precious promises are freely given to us, that by these we might be made partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world, through lust.
5 And [for] this same [reason] also, having brought in all diligence, supplement your faith with virtue, and with virtue—knowledge,
And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
6 and with knowledge—self-control, and with self-control—endurance, and with endurance—piety,
and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 and with piety—brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness—love;
and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and 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 these things being in you, and abounding, make you to be neither slothful, nor unfruitful, in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;
But he who has not these things, is blind, shutting his eyes, having become forgetful of the purification of his old sins.
10 therefore, rather, brothers, be diligent to make steadfast your calling and [divine] selection, for doing these things you may never stumble;
Wherefore, the rather, brethren, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall;
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)
and thus there shall be richly ministered to you, an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (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, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, and are established in the present truth.
13 and I think right, so long as I am in this tent, to stir you up in reminding [you],
Yes, I think it fit, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you 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 putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
15 And I will also be diligent [to ensure] that you always have a remembrance to make of these things after my departure.
Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
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 we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his grandeur;
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 God the Father honor and glory, a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight."
18 and we heard this voice borne out of Heaven, being with Him at the holy mountain.
And this voice we heard come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain:
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;
so we have the prophetic word more firm; to which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Writing comes of private exposition,
Knowing this first, that no prophecy brought by the will of man;
21 for prophecy never came by [the] will of man, but men spoke from God, being brought by the Holy Spirit.
but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
