2 Peter 1
1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus (the) Messiah, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus (the) Messiah:
Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, unto them who have obtained, equally precious, faith, with us, in the righteousness of our God, and Saviour Jesus Christ,
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus 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, all things, suited for life and godliness his divine power, unto us, hath given, through the personal knowledge of him that hath called us through glory and excellence, —
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, his precious, and very great, promises, have, unto us, been given, in order that, through these, ye might become sharers in a divine nature—escaping the corruption that is in the world by coveting.
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, for this very reason also—adding, on your part, all diligence, supply, in your faith, excellence, and, in your excellence, knowledge,
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
And, in your knowledge, self-control, and, in your self-control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness,
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, 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.
These things, unto you, belonging and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful, constitute you, regarding the personal 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 to whom these things are not present, is, blind, seeing only what is near, having come, to forget, his purification 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.
Wherefore, all the more, brethren, give diligence to be making, firm, your calling and election; for, these things, doing, in nowise shall ye stumble at any time,
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, thus, shall richly be further supplied unto you—the entrance into the age-abiding 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.
Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things, —although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth;
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
Right, nevertheless, I account it—as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in 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, speedy, is the putting off of my tent—even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me:
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very 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 as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, 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, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory—My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight,
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
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, more firm, the prophetic word; —whereunto ye are doing, well, to take heed, —as unto a lamp shining in a dusky place, —until, day, shall dawn, and, a day-star, shall arise in your hearts: —
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
Of this, first, taking note—that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving;
21 For no prophecy ever came by human will, but people spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
For not, by will of man, was prophecy brought in, at any time, but, as, by Holy Spirit, they were borne along, spake, men, from God.
