2 Peter 1
1 (Simon *NK(o)*) Peter a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ To those equally precious with ours having obtained a faith through [the] righteousness of the God of us and Savior Jesus Christ.
Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Grace to you and peace would be multiplied in [the] knowledge of God and of Jesus the Lord of us.
May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 Accordingly all things to us by the divine power of Him toward life and godliness having himself given through the knowledge of the [One who] having called us ([by His] own *N(K)O*) (glory *N(k)O*) and (excellence, *N(k)O*)
seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections.
4 through which the precious and magnificent to us promises He has himself given, so that through these you may become of [the] divine partakers nature having escaped the in (the *no*) world in desire decay.
It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings.
5 And very [reason] for this now earnestness all having brought in do supplement into the faith of you virtue, into and virtue knowledge,
But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
6 into then knowledge self-control, into then self-control endurance, into then endurance godliness,
along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
7 in then godliness brotherly affection, in then brotherly affection love.
along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
8 These things for in you being and abounding neither idle nor unfruitful make [you] as to the of the Lord of us Jesus Christ knowledge.
If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 In whomever for not are present these things, blind he is being short sighted, forgetfulness having received of the purification the former of him (sins. *NK(o)*)
For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore rather, brothers, do be diligent sure your calling and election to make; these things for practicing certainly not shall you stumble at any time.
For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble.
11 In this way for richly will be supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of the Lord of us and Savior Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Therefore (I will be ready *N(K)O*) always you to remind concerning these things though knowing [them] and strengthened in the being present [in you] truth.
For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
13 Right now I esteem it, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir up you by putting [you] in remembrance;
But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
14 knowing that imminent is the putting off of the tabernacle of mine, even as also the Lord of us Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
15 I will be diligent now also at every time to have for you after my departure these things a lasting remembrance to make.
So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
16 Not for contrived fables having followed we have made known to you the of the Lord of us Jesus Christ power and coming, but eyewitnesses having been of His majesty.
For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
17 Having received for from God [the] Father honor and glory a voice was brought to Him such as follows by the Majestic Glory: The Son of Mine beloved (of Mine *NO*) this is, in whom I myself found delight.
He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."
18 And this voice we ourselves heard from heaven having been brought with Him being in the holy (*ko*) mountain.
And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 And we have more certain the prophetic word, to which well you do taking heed as to a lamp shining in [a] dark place until this day may have shone through may have shone through and [the] morning star may have arisen in the hearts of you;
And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 this first knowing that any prophecy of Scripture of its own interpretation not is.
But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
21 Not for by [the] will of man was brought prophecy at any time but by [the] Spirit Holy being carried spoke (*k*) (from *N(K)O*) of God men.
for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
