2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
3 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;
As His divine power having given unto us all things which appertain to life and godliness, through the perfect knowledge of the one having called us to his own glory and virtue:
4 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.
through which precious and greatest promises have been given unto us; that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge;
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness;
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
for he unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus (the) Messiah. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance;
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah made clear to me.
knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised tales, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 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."
For having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
We, being with him in the holy mount, heard this voice borne from heaven.
19 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:
And we have the more certain word of prophecy; to which you do well giving heed, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day may dawn, and the morning-star may rise in your hearts:
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
know this in the first place, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
21 For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
For in the olden time prophecy did not come by the will of man: but men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God.
