3 G5613 as G3956 all things G1473 to us G3588 G2304 [²divine G1411 ³power G1473 ¹of his], G3588 the things G4314 for G2222 life G2532 and G2150 piety, G1433 being presented G1223 through G3588 the G1922 full knowledge G3588 of the one G2564 having called G1473 us G1223 by G1391 glory G2532 and G703 virtue,

4 G1223 by G3739 which G3588 [²the things G5093 ³esteemed G1473 ⁴for us G2532 ⁵and G3173 ⁶greatest G1862 ⁷declarations G1433 ¹he has presented], G2443 that G1223 through G3778 these G1096 you should become G2304 [²divine G2844 ¹partners of] G5449 nature, G668 having escaped G3588 the G1722 [²in G2889 ³ the world G1722 ⁴by G1939 ⁵lust G5356 ¹corruption].

5 G2532 [³also G1473 ²for this same reason G3778 G1161 ¹And], G4710 [³diligence G3956 ²all G3923 ¹adding], G2023 supply G1722 in G3588 the G4102 belief G1473 of yours G3588 the G703 virtue, G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G703 virtue G3588 the G1108 knowledge,

6 G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G1108 knowledge G3588 the G1466 self-control, G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G1466 self-control G3588 the G5281 endurance, G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G5281 endurance G3588 the G2150 piety,

7 G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G2150 piety G3588 the G5360 brotherly affection, G1722 and in G1161 G3588 the G5360 brotherly affection G3588 the G26 love!

8 G3778 For these things G1063 G1473 being in you, G5224 G2532 and G4121 being superabundant, G3756 [²not G692 ³idle G3761 ⁴nor G175 ⁵unfruitful G2525 ¹they stand] G1519 in G3588 the G3588 G2962 [²of our Lord G1473 G* ³Jesus G5547 ⁴Christ G1922 ¹full knowledge].

9 G3739 But in whom G1063 G3361 [²are not G3918 ³at hand G3778 ¹these things] G5185 is blind, G1510.2.3 G3467 losing sight, G3024 [²forgetfulness G2983 ¹having taken] G3588 of the G2512 cleansing G3588 G3819 of his earlier G1473 G266 sins.

10 G1352 Therefore G3123 rather, G80 brethren, G4704 hurry G949 [⁶firm G1473 ²your G3588 G2821 ³calling G2532 ⁴and G1589 ⁵selection G4160 ¹to make]! G3778 for these things G1063 G4160 doing, G3766.2 in no way G4417 should you fail G4218 at some time or other.

11 G3779 For thus G1063 G4146 richly G2023 shall be supplied G1473 to you G3588 the G1529 entrance G1519 into G3588 the G166 eternal G932 kingdom G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G2532 and G4990 deliverer G* Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Therefore G3756 I shall not G272 neglect G1473 [²you G104 ³continually G5279 ¹to remind] G4012 concerning G3778 these things, G2539 though G1492 knowing, G2532 and G4741 being fixed firmly G1722 in G3588 the G3918 [²at hand G225 ¹truth].

13 G1342 But justly G1161 G2233 I esteem it, G1909 for G3745 as long as G1510.2.1 I am G1722 in G3778 this G3588 G4638 tent, G1326 to awaken G1473 you G1722 by G5280 recollection;

14 G1492 knowing G3754 that G5031 [⁵quick G1510.2.3 ⁴is G3588 ¹the G595 ²getting rid G3588 G4638 ³of my tent], G1473 G2531 as G2532 also G3588 G2962 our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 manifested G1473 to me.

15 G4704 But I will hurry G1161 G2532 also G1539 always G2192 for you to have G1473 G3326 after G3588 G1699 my G1841 exodus, G3588 the G3778 [³of these things G3420 ²remembrance G4160 ¹making].

16 G3756 For not G1063 G4679 [²discerning G3454 ³fables G1811 ¹following after] G1107 did we make known G1473 to you G3588 the G3588 G2962 [⁴of our Lord G1473 G* ⁵Jesus G5547 ⁶Christ G1411 ¹power G2532 ²and G3952 ³arrival], G235 but G2030 [²spectators G1096 ¹having been] G3588 G1565 of that ones' G3168 magnificence.

17 G2983 For having received G1063 G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the father G5092 honor G2532 and G1391 glory, G5456 [²voice G5342 ³having been brought G1473 ⁴to him G5107 ¹such a] G5259 by G3588 the G3169 majestic G1391 glory, saying, G3778 This G1510.2.3 is G3588 G5207 my son G1473 G3588 the G27 beloved, G1519 in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 take pleasure in.

18 G2532 And G3778 this G3588 G5456 voice G1473 we G191 heard G1537 [²from G3772 ³heaven G5342 ¹brought], G4862 [²with G1473 ³him G1510.6 ¹being] G1722 on G3588 the G3735 [²mountain G3588 G39 ¹holy].

19 G2532 And G2192 we have G949 more firm G3588 the G4397 prophetic G3056 word; G3739 which G2573 well G4160 you do G4337 heeding, G5613 as G3088 a lamp G5316 shining forth G1722 in G850 a dismal G5117 place, G2193 until G3739 which G2250 day G1306 should shine through, G2532 and G5459 the morning star G393 should arise G1722 in G3588 G2588 your hearts. G1473

20 G3778 This G4412 first G1097 knowing, G3754 that G3956 every G4394 prophecy G1124 of scripture G2398 [³by private G1955 ⁴explanation G3756 ¹does not G1096 ²take place].

21 G3756 For not G1063 G2307 by will G444 of man G5342 was [²borne G4218 ³at some time or other G4394 ¹prophecy], G235 but G5259 by G4151 [²spirit G39 ¹holy] G5342 being borne G2980 [⁵spoke G3588 ¹the G39 ²holy G2316 ⁴of God G444 ³men].

1 G4826 Simon G4074 Peter, G1401 a slave G2532 and G652 an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Anointed, G2975 [G5631] to them that have obtained G2472 like precious G4102 faith G2254 with us G1722 through G1343 the righteousness G2316 of God G2532 and G2257 our G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed:

2 G5485 Grace G2532 and G1515 peace G4129 [G5684] be multiplied G5213 to you G1722 through G1922 the knowledge G2316 of God, G2532 and G2424 of Jesus G2257 our G2962 Lord,

3 G5613 According as G846 his G2304 divine G1411 power G1433 [G5772] hath given G2254 to us G3956 all things G4314 that pertain to G2222 life G2532 and G2150 piety, G1223 through G1922 the knowledge G2564 [G5660] of him that hath called G2248 us G1223 to G1391 glory G2532 and G703 virtue:

4 G1223 By G3739 which G1433 [G5769] are given G2254 to us G3176 exceeding great G2532 and G5093 precious G1862 promises: G2443 that G1223 by G5130 these G1096 [G5638] ye might be G2844 partners G2304 of the divine G5449 nature, G668 [G5631] having escaped G5356 the corruption G1722 that is in G2889 the world G1722 through G1939 lust.

5 G1161 And G5124 this G846 same G2532 also, G3923 [G5660] introducing simultaneously G3956 all G4710 diligence, G2023 [G5657] supply G1722 in G3588 the G4102 faith G5216 of yours G3588 the G703 virtue; G1161 and G1722 in G3588 the G703 virtue G3588 the G1108 knowledge;

6 G1161 And G1722 in G3588 the G1108 knowledge G1466 self-control; G1161 and G1722 in G3588 the G1466 self-control G3588 the G5281 patience; G1161 and G1722 in G3588 the G5281 patience G3588 the G2150 piety;

7 G1161 And G1722 in G3588 the G2150 piety G3588 the G5360 brotherly affection; G1161 and G1722 in G3588 the G5360 brotherly affection G3588 the G26 love.

8 G1063 For G5023 if these things G5225 [G5723] are G5213 in you, G2532 and G4121 [G5723] abound, G2525 [G5719] they make G3756 you that ye shall neither G692 be barren G3761 nor G175 unfruitful G1519 in G1922 the knowledge G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed.

9 G1063 But G3739 he that G3361 G3918 [G5748] lacketh G5023 these things G2076 [G5748] is G5185 blind, G3467 [G5723] and cannot see afar off, G3024 G2983 [G5631] and hath forgotten G2512 that he was purified from G846 his G3819 old G266 sins.

10 G1352 Therefore G3123 the rather, G80 brethren, G4704 [G5657] hurry G4160 [G5733] to make G5216 your G2821 calling G2532 and G1589 election G949 sure: G1063 for G4160 [G5723] doing G5023 these things, G3364 in no way G4417 0 may ye G4218 ever G4417 [G5661] stumble:

11 G1063 For G3779 so G1529 an entrance G2023 [G5701] shall be supplied G5213 to you G4146 abundantly G1519 into G3588 the G166 age-during G932 kingdom G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed.

12 G1352 Therefore G272 0 I will G3756 not G272 [G5692] be negligent G5279 0 to put G5209 you G104 always G5279 [G5721] in remembrance G4012 of G5130 these things, G2539 though G1492 [G5761] knowing them, G2532 and G4741 [G5772] being fixed firmly G1722 in G3918 [G5752] the present G225 truth.

13 G1161 Indeed, G2233 [G5736] I think it G1342 right, G1909 G3745 as long as G1510 [G5748] I am G1722 in G5129 this G4638 tabernacle, G1326 0 to stir G5209 you G1326 [G5721] up G1722 by G5280 putting you in remembrance;

14 G1492 [G5761] Knowing G3754 that G5031 shortly G2076 [G5748] I must G595 put off G3450 this my G4638 tabernacle, G2532 even G2531 as G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed G1213 [G5656] hath shown G3427 me.

15 G1161 But G2532 also G4704 [G5692] I will hurry G5209 that ye G2192 [G5721] may be able G3326 after G3588 G1699 mine G1841 exodus, G3588 the G4160 [G5733] making G5130 of these things G1539 always G3420 in remembrance.

16 G1063 For G1811 0 we have G3756 not G1811 [G5660] followed G4679 [G5772] cunningly devised G3454 fables, G1107 [G5656] when we made known G5213 to you G1411 the power G2532 and G3952 coming G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Anointed, G235 but G1096 [G5679] were G2030 eyewitnesses G1565 of his G3168 magnificence.

17 G1063 For G2983 [G5631] he received G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G5092 honour G2532 and G1391 glory, G5342 [G5685] when there came G5107 such G5456 a voice G846 to him G5259 by G3169 the excellent G1391 glory, G3778 This G2076 [G5748] is G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son, G1519 in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 [G5656] am well pleased.

18 G2532 And G5026 this G5456 voice G5342 [G5685] which came G1537 from G3772 heaven G2249 we G191 [G5656] heard, G5607 [G5752] when we were G4862 with G846 him G1722 on G40 the holy G3735 mount.

19 G2192 [G5719] We have G2532 also G949 a more sure G3056 word G4397 of prophecy; G3739 to which G4160 [G5719] ye do G2573 well G4337 [G5723] that ye take heed, G5613 as G3088 to a light G5316 [G5730] that shineth G1722 in G850 a dark G5117 place, G2193 G3739 until G2250 the day G1306 [G5661] dawn, G2532 and G5459 the day star G393 [G5661] arise G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts:

For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time. ¹¹ For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the ever-lasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² For which cause, I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them and are confirmed in the present truth. ¹³ But I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance. ¹⁴ Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me. ¹⁵ And I will endeavour that you frequently have after my decease whereby you may keep a memory of these things. ¹⁶ For we have not by following artificial fables made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ: but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. ¹⁸ And this voice, we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts. ²⁰ Understanding this first: That no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. ²¹ For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.

1 G4826 Simon G4074 Peter G1401 , a servant G2532 and G652 an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G2975 , to them that have obtained [G5631] G2472 like precious G4102 faith G2254 with us G1722 through G1343 the righteousness G2316 of God G2532 and G2257 our G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ:

2 G5485 Grace G2532 and G1515 peace G4129 be multiplied [G5684] G5213 unto you G1722 through G1922 the knowledge G2316 of God G2532 , and G2424 of Jesus G2257 our G2962 Lord,

3 G5613 According as G846 his G2304 divine G1411 power G1433 hath given [G5772] G2254 unto us G3956 all things G4314 that pertain unto G2222 life G2532 and G2150 godliness G1223 , through G1922 the knowledge G2564 of him that hath called [G5660] G2248 us G1223 to G1391 glory G2532 and G703 virtue:

4 G1223 Whereby G3739 G1433 are given [G5769] G2254 unto us G3176 exceeding great G2532 and G5093 precious G1862 promises G2443 : that G1223 by G5130 these G1096 ye might be [G5638] G2844 partakers G2304 of the divine G5449 nature G668 , having escaped [G5631] G5356 the corruption G1722 that is in G2889 the world G1722 through G1939 lust.

5 G2532 And G1161 G846 beside G5124 this G3923 , giving [G5660] G3956 all G4710 diligence G2023 , add [G5657] G1722 to G5216 your G4102 faith G703 virtue G1161 ; and G1722 to G703 virtue G1108 knowledge;

6 G1161 And G1722 to G1108 knowledge G1466 temperance G1161 ; and G1722 to G1466 temperance G5281 patience G1161 ; and G1722 to G5281 patience G2150 godliness;

7 G1161 And G1722 to G2150 godliness G5360 brotherly kindness G1161 ; and G1722 to G5360 brotherly kindness G26 charity.

8 G1063 For G5023 if these things G5225 be [G5723] G5213 in you G2532 , and G4121 abound [G5723] G2525 , they make [G5719] G3756 you that ye shall neither G692 be barren G3761 nor G175 unfruitful G1519 in G1922 the knowledge G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G1063 But G3739 he that G3361 lacketh G3918 [G5748] G5023 these things G2076 is [G5748] G5185 blind G3467 , and cannot see afar off [G5723] G3024 , and hath forgotten G2983 [G5631] G2512 that he was purged from G846 his G3819 old G266 sins.

10 G1352 Wherefore G3123 the rather G80 , brethren G4704 , give diligence [G5657] G4160 to make [G5733] G5216 your G2821 calling G2532 and G1589 election G949 sure G1063 : for G4160 if ye do [G5723] G5023 these things G4218 , ye shall G4417 G3364 never G4218 fall G4417 [G5661] :

11 G1063 For G3779 so G1529 an entrance G2023 shall be ministered [G5701] G5213 unto you G4146 abundantly G1519 into G166 the everlasting G932 kingdom G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Wherefore G272 I will G3756 not G272 be negligent [G5692] G5279 to put G5209 you G104 always G5279 in remembrance [G5721] G4012 of G5130 these things G2539 , though G1492 ye know [G5761] G2532 them, and G4741 be established [G5772] G1722 in G3918 the present [G5752] G225 truth.

13 G1161 Yea G2233 , I think it [G5736] G1342 meet G1909 , as long as G3745 G1510 I am [G5748] G1722 in G5129 this G4638 tabernacle G1326 , to stir G5209 you G1326 up [G5721] G1722 by G5280 putting you in remembrance;

14 G1492 Knowing [G5761] G3754 that G5031 shortly G2076 I must [G5748] G595 put off G3450 this my G4638 tabernacle G2532 , even G2531 as G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 hath shewed [G5656] G3427 me.

15 G1161 Moreover G2532 G4704 I will endeavour [G5692] G5209 that ye G2192 may be able [G5721] G3326 after G1699 my G1841 decease G4160 to have [G5733] G5130 these things G1539 always G3420 in remembrance.

16 G1063 For G1811 we have G3756 not G1811 followed [G5660] G4679 cunningly devised [G5772] G3454 fables G1107 , when we made known [G5656] G5213 unto you G1411 the power G2532 and G3952 coming G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G235 , but G1096 were [G5679] G2030 eyewitnesses G1565 of his G3168 majesty.

17 G1063 For G2983 he received [G5631] G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G5092 honour G2532 and G1391 glory G5342 , when there came [G5685] G5107 such G5456 a voice G846 to him G5259 from G3169 the excellent G1391 glory G3778 , This G2076 is [G5748] G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son G1519 , in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 am well pleased [G5656] .

18 G2532 And G5026 this G5456 voice G5342 which came [G5685] G1537 from G3772 heaven G2249 we G191 heard [G5656] G5607 , when we were [G5752] G4862 with G846 him G1722 in G40 the holy G3735 mount.

19 G2192 We have [G5719] G2532 also G949 a more sure G3056 word G4397 of prophecy G3739 ; whereunto G4160 ye do [G5719] G2573 well G4337 that ye take heed [G5723] G5613 , as G3088 unto a light G5316 that shineth [G5730] G1722 in G850 a dark G5117 place G2193 , until G3739 G2250 the day G1306 dawn [G5661] G2532 , and G5459 the day star G393 arise [G5661] G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts:

20 G1097 Knowing [G5723] G5124 this G4412 first G3754 , that G3756 no G3956 G4394 prophecy G1124 of the scripture G1096 is [G5736] G2398 of any private G1955 interpretation.

21 G1063 For G4394 the prophecy G5342 came [G5681] G3756 not G4218 in old time G2307 by the will G444 of man G235 : but G40 holy G444 men G2316 of God G2980 spake [G5656] G5342 as they were moved [G5746] G5259 by G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who equally share with us in the advantages of faith, thro' the veracity of our God, and of Jesus Christ. ² may the divine favour and felicity be poured upon you, by the knowledge of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ. ³ It is thus his divine power has given us every thing conducive to life and piety, by making us acquainted with him, who has called us by his illustrious power; ⁴ by which we have receiv'd the most inestimable promises, that thereby you might become partakers of the divine perfections, after having escap'd from the corruption of a sensual world. ⁵ Do you on your part employ all your care in adding to your faith, fortitude: to fortitude, knowledge: ⁶ to knowledge, temperance: to temperance, patience: to patience, piety: ⁷ to piety, fraternal affection: and to fraternal affection, universal benevolence. ⁸ for if you are possess'd of these virtues and improve therein, they will prevent the knowledge you have of our Lord Jesus Christ from being useless to others, and unprofitable to yourselves. ⁹ but he that is destitute of them is blind or short-sighted, having forgot he was purified from his past sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore be the more diligent, my brethren, to secure your vocation and election by your virtuous actions, for by so doing, you will never relapse: ¹¹ and thus you will have a free admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² for this reason I shall never omit to put you in mind of these things, however knowing you are already, and settled in the truth. ¹³ whilst I am alive, I think it my duty to awaken you by my admonitions: ¹⁴ knowing that I must soon leave this tabernacle, as our Lord Jesus Christ has signify'd to me. ¹⁵ However, I shall inculcate these things so as to make you continually remember them, even after my departure. ¹⁶ for, the information we gave you of the powerful advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, did not proceed from any artfully contriv'd fables, we our selves having been spectators of his majesty. ¹⁷ for he received this honourable and glorious testimony from his father, when the voice broke out from the magnificent splendor, in these words, "this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased." ¹⁸ we our selves heard this voice, that came from heaven, when we were with him upon the holy mountain. ¹⁹ Besides, we have the more authentic accounts of the prophets, to which you do well in giving your attention, as to a lamp shining in an obscure place, till the day dawn, and the morning-star arises in your hearts. ²⁰ But you must above all consider, that no prophecy of the scripture did proceed ²¹ from the prophet's OWN MOTION; but the holy men of God spoke by the IMPULSE of the holy spirit.

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do dwell that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: ²⁰ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. ²¹ For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake, being moved by the Holy Ghost.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: ² grace unto you and peace be multiplied through the knowledge of God, even Jesus our Lord, ³ as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude: ⁴ whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.— ⁵ And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence; ⁶ and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety; ⁷ and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love. ⁸ For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days. ¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble: ¹¹ but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you: ¹⁴ knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me. ¹⁵ I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things. ¹⁶ For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts. ²⁰ Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man's own suggestions. ²¹ For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them who have obtained a like precious belief with us, in the saving goodness of our God and saviour Jesus Christ, ² favour be to you, and may peace be multiplied by an acknowledgment of God, and of Jesus our Lord. ³ As his divine power hath freely granted those things conducive to life and godliness, and all are ours by our acknowledging him who hath called us by glory and virtue, ⁴ through which he hath freely made us very great and precious promises, that by them you may become partakers of a divine nature when you have fled from the corruption which is in the world by lust; ⁵ therefore, having on your part used all diligence for the very same purpose, add to your faith fortitude; and to fortitude, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, perseverance; and to perseverance, piety; ⁷ and to piety, brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection, universal love; ⁸ for these being in you, and abounding, dispose you to be neither idle nor unfruitful for the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁹ for he who is without these is blind, having closed his eyes, having contracted a forgetfulness of the purification of his past sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, use the more diligence to make your call and election sure; for if you practise these you will never fall; ¹¹ for thus there will further be administered to you, bounteously, the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² For this purpose I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though you already know them, and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Indeed I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by admonition; ¹⁴ as I know that I must soon lay aside this tabernacle of mine, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath plainly shewed me; ¹⁵ and I will use all diligence that you may be able, every one of you, to recollect these things after my departure. ¹⁶ For we indeed did not follow artfully contrived fables when we made known to you the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but were ourselves eye witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he was receiving honour and glory from God the Father, when a voice was uttered to him, from the transcendent glory, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased." ¹⁸ This voice we ourselves actually heard uttered from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ Therefore we have a more complete confirmation of the prophetic word, to which you do well in giving attention, as to a lamp shining in a dark place until the day dawn, and the bringer of light rise in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture explaineth itself, ²¹ for prophecy was not uttered in former days at the will of man; but the holy men of God spoke by an impulse of the holy spirit.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ: ² Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, ³ According as his divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: ⁴ Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵ And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; ⁶ And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; ⁷ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. ⁸ For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: ¹¹ For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Indeed, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me. ¹⁵ Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance. ¹⁶ 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 majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount. ¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: ²⁰ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. ²¹ For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

1 G4826 Simon G4074 Peter G1401 , a servant G2532 and G652 an apostle G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G2975 [G5631] , to them that have obtained G2472 like precious G4102 faith G2254 with us G1722 through G1343 the righteousness G2316 of God G2532 and G2257 our G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ:

2 G5485 Grace G2532 and G1515 peace G4129 [G5684] be multiplied G5213 to you G1722 through G1922 the knowledge G2316 of God G2532 , and G2424 of Jesus G2257 our G2962 Lord,

3 G5613 According as G846 his G2304 divine G1411 power G1433 [G5772] hath given G2254 to us G3956 all things G4314 that pertain to G2222 life G2532 and G2150 godliness G1223 , through G1922 the knowledge G2564 [G5660] of him that hath called G2248 us G1223 to G1391 glory G2532 and G703 virtue:

4 G1223 By G3739 which G1433 [G5769] are given G2254 to us G3176 exceeding great G2532 and G5093 precious G1862 promises G2443 : that G1223 by G5130 these G1096 [G5638] ye might be G2844 partakers G2304 of the divine G5449 nature G668 [G5631] , having escaped G5356 the corruption G1722 that is in G2889 the world G1722 through G1939 lust.

5 G2532 G1161 And G846 besides G5124 this G3923 [G5660] , giving G3956 all G4710 diligence G2023 [G5657] , add G1722 to G5216 your G4102 faith G703 virtue G1161 ; and G1722 to G703 virtue G1108 knowledge;

6 G1161 And G1722 to G1108 knowledge G1466 self-control G1161 ; and G1722 to G1466 self-control G5281 patience G1161 ; and G1722 to G5281 patience G2150 godliness;

7 G1161 And G1722 to G2150 godliness G5360 brotherly kindness G1161 ; and G1722 to G5360 brotherly kindness G26 charity.

8 G1063 For G5023 if these things G5225 [G5723] are G5213 in you G2532 , and G4121 [G5723] abound G2525 [G5719] , they make G3756 you that ye shall neither G692 be barren G3761 nor G175 unfruitful G1519 in G1922 the knowledge G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G1063 But G3739 he that G3361 G3918 [G5748] lacketh G5023 these things G2076 [G5748] is G5185 blind G3467 [G5723] , and cannot see afar off G3024 G2983 [G5631] , and hath forgotten G2512 that he was purified from G846 his G3819 old G266 sins.

10 G1352 Therefore G3123 the rather G80 , brethren G4704 [G5657] , give diligence G4160 [G5733] to make G5216 your G2821 calling G2532 and G1589 election G949 sure G1063 : for G4160 [G5723] if ye do G5023 these things G4218 0 G4417 0 , ye shall G3364 never G4218 G4417 [G5661] fall:

11 G1063 For G3779 so G1529 an entrance G2023 [G5701] shall be ministered G5213 to you G4146 abundantly G1519 into G166 the everlasting G932 kingdom G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Therefore G272 0 I will G3756 not G272 [G5692] be negligent G5279 0 to put G5209 you G104 always G5279 [G5721] in remembrance G4012 of G5130 these things G2539 , though G1492 [G5761] ye know G2532 them, and G4741 [G5772] are established G1722 in G3918 [G5752] the present G225 truth.

13 G1161 Indeed G2233 [G5736] , I think it G1342 right G1909 G3745 , as long as G1510 [G5748] I am G1722 in G5129 this G4638 tabernacle G1326 0 , to stir G5209 you G1326 [G5721] up G1722 by G5280 putting you in remembrance;

14 G1492 [G5761] Knowing G3754 that G5031 shortly G2076 [G5748] I must G595 put off G3450 this my G4638 tabernacle G2532 , even G2531 as G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 [G5656] hath shown G3427 me.

15 G1161 G2532 Moreover G4704 [G5692] I will endeavour G5209 that ye G2192 [G5721] may be able G3326 after G1699 my G1841 decease G4160 [G5733] to have G5130 these things G1539 always G3420 in remembrance.

16 G1063 For G1811 0 we have G3756 not G1811 [G5660] followed G4679 [G5772] cunningly devised G3454 fables G1107 [G5656] , when we made known G5213 to you G1411 the power G2532 and G3952 coming G2257 of our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G235 , but G1096 [G5679] were G2030 eyewitnesses G1565 of his G3168 majesty.

17 G1063 For G2983 [G5631] he received G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G5092 honour G2532 and G1391 glory G5342 [G5685] , when there came G5107 such G5456 a voice G846 to him G5259 from G3169 the excellent G1391 glory G3778 , This G2076 [G5748] is G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son G1519 , in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 [G5656] am well pleased.

18 G2532 And G5026 this G5456 voice G5342 [G5685] which came G1537 from G3772 heaven G2249 we G191 [G5656] heard G5607 [G5752] , when we were G4862 with G846 him G1722 on G40 the holy G3735 mount.

19 G2192 [G5719] We have G2532 also G949 a more sure G3056 word G4397 of prophecy G3739 ; to which G4160 [G5719] ye do G2573 well G4337 [G5723] that ye take heed G5613 , as G3088 to a light G5316 [G5730] that shineth G1722 in G850 a dark G5117 place G2193 G3739 , until G2250 the day G1306 [G5661] dawn G2532 , and G5459 the day star G393 [G5661] arise G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts:

20 G1097 [G5723] Knowing G5124 this G4412 first G3754 , that G3756 G3956 no G4394 prophecy G1124 of the scripture G1096 [G5736] is G2398 of any private G1955 interpretation.

21 G1063 For G4394 prophecy G5342 [G5681] came G3756 not G4218 in old time G2307 by the will G444 of man G235 : but G40 holy G444 men G2316 of God G2980 [G5656] spoke G5342 [G5746] as they were moved G5259 by G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 Favor and peace be multiplied to you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. ³ 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 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 very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love: ⁸ 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 But he who has not these things, is blind, shutting his eyes, having become forgetful of the purification of his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore, the rather, brethren, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall; ¹¹ and thus there shall be richly ministered to you, an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² 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 Yes, I think it fit, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ knowing, that the putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me. ¹⁵ Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance. ¹⁶ 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 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 this voice we heard come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain: ¹⁹ 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 brought by the will of man; ²¹ but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SHEMUN PETROS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, to those who by faith the same in preciousness [Or, honour.] 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 through the knowledge of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ³ As He who all (things) which of the divine power are unto life and godliness [Dechalath Aloha, the fear, reverence, or worship of Aloha.] hath given (us), through the knowledge of Him who hath called us unto the glory of him and of virtue,[Or, excellence. B'teshbuchtho dileh va-damyathrutho.] ⁴ by annunciations [Nunciatio, promissum: from, to know, make known.] 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 So, with this, bringing in all diligence,[Or, gravity. Shekoltano.] add to your faith virtue; but to virtue knowledge, ⁶ but to knowledge perseverance, but to perseverance patience, but to patience godliness,[Dechalath Aloha, the fear, reverence, or worship of Aloha.] ⁷ but to godliness brotherly kindness, but to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ 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 are not found is blind, and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purification of his former sins. ¹⁰ Upon this the more, my brethren, be careful, that by your good works your calling and your election you may confirm;[Or, make sure.] for, while you do these, you will never lapse; [Meshtarin, from shara, lapsus est, deliquit, transgressus est.] ¹¹ for so abundantly shall be given to you the entrance of the eternal kingdom of our Lord and our Saviour Jeshu Meshiha. ¹² Wherefore it doth not weary me to remind you constantly of these, that you may know well, and be established upon this truth. ¹³ But I consider it right, so long as I am in this body, to stir you up in remembrance: [Bephagro hono.] ¹⁴ knowing that the decease of my body is shortly (to be,) as also our Lord Jeshu Meshiha hath made me know. ¹⁵ 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 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 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 we also this voice heard from heaven, as it came to him when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ 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 While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution [Or, every prophecy the solution of its scripture is not.

11 G1063 for G3779 thus G4146 shall be richly G2023 supplied G5213 unto you G1529 the entrance G1519 into G166 the eternal G932 kingdom G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Wherefore G272 I shall G3756 be G272 ready G104 always G5279 to put G5209 you G5279 in remembrance G4012 of G5130 these things, G2539 though G1492 ye know G2532 them, and G4741 are established G1722 in G225 the truth G3918 which is with you.

13 G1161 And G2233 I think it G1909 right, G3745 as long as G1510 I am G1722 in G5129 this G4638 tabernacle, G1326 to stir G5209 you G1326 up G5280 by putting G1722 you in G5280 remembrance;

14 G1492 knowing G3754 that G595 the putting off G3450 of my G4638 tabernacle G5031 cometh swiftly, G2532 even G2531 as G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 signified G3427 unto me.

15 G5209 Yea, G4704 I will give diligence G4704 that G1539 at every time G5209 ye G4160 may be able G3326 after G1699 my G1841 decease G5130 to call these things G3420 to remembrance.

16 G1063 For G1811 we did G3756 not G1811 follow G4679 cunningly devised G3454 fables, G1107 when we made known G5213 unto you G1411 the power G2532 and G3952 coming G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G235 but G1096 we were G2030 eyewitnesses G3168 of G1565 his G3168 majesty.

17 G1063 For G2983 he received G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G5092 honor G2532 and G1391 glory, G5342 when there was borne G5107 such G5456 a voice G846 to him G5259 by G1391 the G3169 Majestic G1391 Glory, G3778 This G2076 is G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son, G1519 in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 am well pleased:

18 G2532 and G3778 this G5456 voice G191 we ourselves heard G5342 borne G1537 out G3772 of heaven, G2249 when we G5607 were G4862 with G846 him G1722 in G3735 the G40 holy G3735 mount.

19 G2532 And G2192 we have G3056 the word G4397 of prophecy G949 made more sure; G3739 whereunto G4160 ye do G2573 well G4337 that ye take heed, G5117 as G3088 unto a lamp G5316 shining G1722 in G850 a dark G5117 place, G2193 until G3757 G2250 the day G1306 dawn, G2532 and G5459 the day-star G393 arise G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts:

20 G1097 knowing G5124 this G4412 first, G3754 that G3756 no G4394 prophecy G1124 of scripture G1096 is G1955 of G3956 G2398 private G1955 interpretation.

21 G1063 For G4394 no prophecy G3756 ever G5342 came G4218 G2307 by the will G444 of man: G235 but G40 G444 men G2980 spake G5259 from G2316 God, G5342 being moved G4151 by the G40 Holy G4151 Spirit.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ: ² Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, ³ seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by glory and virtue, ⁴ whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust. ⁵ Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue, and in your virtue knowledge, ⁶ and in your knowledge self-control, and in your self-control patience, and in your patience godliness, ⁷ and in your godliness brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: ¹¹ for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you. ¹³ And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance, ¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me. ¹⁵ Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance. ¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: ¹⁸ and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy made more sure, whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. ²¹ For no prophecy ever came by the will of man; but holy men of God spake, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; –– ³ 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 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 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 your knowledge, self–control, and, in your self–control, endurance, and, in your endurance, godliness, ⁷ And, in your godliness, brotherly affection, and, in your brotherly affection, love. ⁸ 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 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 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, shall richly be further supplied unto you––the entrance into the age–abiding kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
¹² 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 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, speedy, is the putting off of my tent––even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me: ¹⁵ 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, 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, 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 Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount.
¹⁹ 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 Of this, first, taking note––that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self–solving; ²¹ 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.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ. ² May blessing and peace be yours in ever-increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord. ³ For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness. ⁴ For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions. ⁵ Yes, and for this very reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge, ⁶ knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety, ⁷ piety by brotherly affection, and brotherly affection by love. ⁸ For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Surely the man who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that he has been purified from his sins of the past! ¹⁰ Therefore, Brothers, do your best to put God's Call and Selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall. ¹¹ For thus you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ¹² I shall, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the Truth that you now hold. ¹³ But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this 'tent,' to rouse you by awakening memories of the past; ¹⁴ for I know that the time for this 'tent' of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me. ¹⁵ So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind. ¹⁶ For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the Coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the Glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these-- 'This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight.' ¹⁸ These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from Heaven, when we were with him on that Sacred Mountain. ¹⁹ And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the Prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ But first be assured of this:--There is no prophetic teaching found in Scripture that can be interpreted by man's unaided reason; ²¹ for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of man, but men, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, the servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those receiving like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. ² Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord. ³ 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 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 And in harmony with this same thing also, add to your faith heroism; and to heroism, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge holiness; and to holiness patience; and patience, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness divine love. ⁸ 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 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, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall. ¹¹ For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth. ¹³ But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance; ¹⁴ knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me. ¹⁵ And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things. ¹⁶ 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 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, being with him in the holy mount, heard this voice borne from heaven. ¹⁹ 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 know this in the first place, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. ²¹ For in the olden time prophecy did not come by the will of man: but men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, ³ 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 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 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 along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance; ⁷ along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love. ⁸ 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 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 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 And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. ¹² 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 But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders. ¹⁴ 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 So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure. ¹⁶ 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 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 we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ 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 But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting; ²¹ for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who obtained an equally precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ² grace to you, and peace be multiplied in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; ³ since His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him Who called us through His glory and virtue; ⁴ through which have been given to us very great and precious promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world in lust: ⁵ and, even for this very reason, adding all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and in knowledge, continence; and in continence, patience; and in patience, godliness; ⁷ and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. ⁸ For these things, belonging to you and abounding, make you neither idle nor unfruitful regarding the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ for he to whom these things are lacking is blind, seeing dimly, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for, if ye do these things, ye shall in nowise ever stumble; ¹¹ for thus shall there be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore, I shall be always ready to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth. ¹³ And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; ¹⁴ knowing that speedy is the putting off of my tabernacle, as also our Lord Jesus Christ signified to me. ¹⁵ And I will also give diligence that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to perpetuate the remembrance of these things. ¹⁶ For, not as having followed after cunningly-devised stories, did we make known to 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 such a voice was borne to Him from the Excellent Glory, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I took delight"; ¹⁸ and this voice we heard borne from Heaven, when we were with Him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ And we have the more sure prophetic word, to which ye do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Morning Star arise in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this, first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of one's own interpretation; ²¹ for prophecy was never brought by the will of man, but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Symeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted a faith of equal privilege with ours, by the equity of our God and saviour Jesus Christ: ² grace and peace be multiplied to you by the knowledge of our Lord. ³ Inasmuch as his power divine has bestowed on us every requisite for life and piety by the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence — ⁴ bestowing on us thereby promises precious and supreme, that by means of them you may escape the corruption produced within the world by lust, and participate in the divine nature — ⁵ for this very reason, do you contrive to make it your whole concern to furnish your faith with resolution, resolution with intelligence, ⁶ intelligence with self-control, self-control with stedfastness, stedfastness with piety, ⁷ piety with brotherliness, brotherliness with Christian love. ⁸ For as these qualities exist and increase with you, they render you active and fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ whereas he who has not these by him is blind, shortsighted, oblivious that he has been cleansed from his erstwhile sins. ¹⁰ So be the more eager, brothers, to ratify your calling and election, for as you practise these qualities you will never make a slip; ¹¹ you will thus be richly furnished with the right of entry into the eternal realm of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Hence I mean to keep on reminding you of this, although you are aware of it and are fixed in the Truth as it is; ¹³ so long as I am in this tent, I deem it proper to stir you up by way of reminder, ¹⁴ since I know my tent must be folded up very soon — as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. ¹⁵ Yes, and I will see to it that even when I am gone, you will keep this constantly in mind. ¹⁶ For it was no fabricated fables that we followed when we reported to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ; we were admitted to the spectacle of his sovereignty, ¹⁷ when he was invested with honour and glory by God the Father, and when the following voice was borne to him from the sublime Glory, "This is my son, the Beloved, in whom I delight." ¹⁸ That voice borne from heaven we heard, we who were beside him on the sacred hill, ¹⁹ and thus we have gained fresh confirmation of the prophetic word. Pray attend to that word; it shines like a lamp within a darksome spot, till the Day dawns and the daystar rises within your hearts — ²⁰ understanding this, at the outset, that no prophetic scripture allows a man to interpret it by himself; ²¹ for prophecy never came by human impulse, it was when carried away by the holy Spirit that the holy men of God spoke.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the uprightness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been given a faith as privileged as ours; ² God bless you and give you perfect peace through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. ³ For his divine power has given us every requisite for life and piety, through our coming to know him who through his glory and excellence called us to him. ⁴ Thus he has given us his precious and splendid promises so that through them you may escape the corrupting influences that exist in the world through passion, and come to share in the divine nature. ⁵ For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, ⁶ knowledge with self-control, self-control with steadfastness, steadfastness with piety, ⁷ piety with a spirit of brotherhood, and the spirit of brotherhood with love. ⁸ For if you have these qualities in their fulness, they will make you neither idle nor unproductive when it comes to the understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For whoever lacks these qualities is blind or near-sighted, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, make all the greater efforts to make God's call and choice of you certain. For if you have these qualities, you will never stumble, ¹¹ for then you will be triumphantly admitted to the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I will always remind you of this, although you know it and are firmly grounded in the truth that you have. ¹³ Yet I think it right, as long as I live in my present tent, to arouse you by a reminder, ¹⁴ for I know that I must soon put it away, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. ¹⁵ I will also take care that after I am gone you will be able at any time to call these things to mind. ¹⁶ For they were no fictitious stories that we followed when we informed you of the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and of his coming, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For when he was so honored and glorified by God the Father and from the supreme glory there were borne to him such words as these: "This is my Son, my Beloved! He is my Chosen!"— ¹⁸ we heard these words borne from heaven when we were with him on that sacred mountain. ¹⁹ So we have the message of the prophets more fully guaranteed. Please pay attention to that message as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ You must understand this in the first place, that no prophecy in Scripture can be understood through one's own powers, ²¹ for no prophecy ever originated in the human will, but under the influence of the holy Spirit men spoke for God.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SIMON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have been allotted a faith as precious as ours: ² Grace be to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. ³ Since his divine power has given us all things helpful to life and piety through the knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and virtue, ⁴ and thereby great and precious promises have been granted to us, that through them you may escape the corruption that is in the world through passion and become sharers in the divine nature, ⁵ for this very reason make it your whole endeavor to supply to your faith virtue, and to your virtue knowledge, ⁶ and to your knowledge self-control, and to your self-control endurance, and to your endurance reverence, ⁷ and to your reverence brotherliness, and to your brotherliness love. ⁸ For when you have these in abundance they make you to be neither idle nor fruitless regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he who lacks these is blind, dim-sighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble. ¹¹ For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. ¹² For this reason I shall always keep reminding you of these things, although you know them and are steadfast in the truth that you have. ¹³ I think it right so long as I am in this tent to arouse you by reminding you, ¹⁴ since I know that the laying aside of my tent will come soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made plain to me. ¹⁵ I will endeavor also on every occasion to make it so that after my going you shall have these things in memory. ¹⁶ For we were not following cunningly devised myths when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory when such words as these were borne to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, the Beloved; in him I delight." ¹⁸ And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ Thus have we the words of the prophets confirmed, and you will do well to give attention to them as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ since you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from any one's private interpretation, ²¹ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. ² Grace and peace be multiplied to you by the God and Father of Jesus our Lord. ³ For his power divine has granted to us everything needful for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue. ⁴ By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵ For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness, and to manliness knowledge, ⁶ and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control stedfastness, and to stedfastness piety, ⁷ and to piety brotherly love, and to brotherly love, love itself. ⁸ For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the man who lacks these virtues is blind, short-sighted, forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins. ¹⁰ So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble. ¹¹ For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you. ¹² I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you. ¹³ So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you, ¹⁴ since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me. ¹⁵ So I will do my best to enable you, even after my departure, continually to call these things to mind. ¹⁶ For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty. ¹⁷ For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight; ¹⁸ and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill. ¹⁹ And so we possess the word of prophecy made yet more sure. Unto this you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ But first be assured of this—that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation. ²¹ For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke for God.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SIMON Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ have been made equal with us in the precious faith; ² Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ, ³ Who has given us all things that pertain to the power of God, for life and worship of God, through the knowledge of him who has called us by his glory and excellence; ⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵ And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; ⁶ And to knowledge, self-control; and to selfcontrol, patience; and to patience; godliness; ⁷ And to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For when these things are found among you and abound, you are not empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he who lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. ¹⁰ For this very reason, my brethren, be diligent; for through your good deeds, you make your calling and your election sure: and when you do these things, you shall never fall: ¹¹ For by so doing, an entrance shall be given freely to you into the everlasting kingdom of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them well; and you rely on this very truth. ¹³ Therefore I think it is right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ Knowing that shortly I must depart this life, even as our LORD Jesus Christ has shown me. ¹⁵ Be diligent always, that you may be able to keep these things in remembrance; even after my departure. ¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our LORD Jesus Christ, for we were eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent and majestic glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this very voice which came from heaven we also heard when we were with him on the holy mount. ¹⁹ We have also a true word of prophecy; you do well when you look to it for guidance, as you look to the lamp that shines in a dark place until the dawn of day, when the sun will shine in your hearts: ²⁰ Knowing this first, that not every prophetic writing is made clear in its own book. ²¹ For the prophecy did not come by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke when they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simeon Peter, a slave and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are chancing upon an equally precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and the Saviour, Jesus Christ:" ² May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the recognition of God and of Jesus Christ, our Lord!" ³ So has all of His divine power, that tends to life and devoutness, been presented to us through the recognition of Him Who calls us to His own glory and virtue;" ⁴ through which have been presented to us the precious and greatest promises, that through these you may become participants of the divine nature, fleeing from the corruption which is in the world by lust." ⁵ Now for this same thing also, employing all diligence, in your faith supply virture, yet in virtue knowledge, ⁶ yet in knowledge self-control, yet in self-control endurance, yet in endurance devoutness, ⁷ yet in devoutness brotherly fondness, yet in brotherly fondness love." ⁸ For your possessing these and increasing is constituting you not idle nor yet unfruitful in the recognition of our Lord, Jesus Christ." ⁹ For he in whom these are not present is blind, closing his eyes, getting oblivious of the cleansing from the penalties of his sins of old." ¹⁰ Wherefore, rather, brethren, endeavor through ideal acts to confirm your calling and choice; for, doing these things you should under no circumstances be tripping at any time. " ¹¹ For thus will be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eonian kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I shall ever be about to be reminding you concerning these things, even though you are aware of, and have been established in, the present truth." ¹³ Now I am deeming it just, for as much time as I am in this tabernacle, to be rousing you by a reminder, ¹⁴ being aware that my tabernacle is to be put off swiftly according as our Lord, Jesus Christ, also makes evident to me." ¹⁵ Yet I shall endeavor to have you, after my exodus, to make mention of these things, ever and anon, also." ¹⁶ For not by following wisely made myths do we make known to you the power and presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but by becoming spectators of His magnificence." ¹⁷ For He got from God, the Father, the honor and glory of the voice, being carried to Him in such a way by the Glory Magnifical: "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight!" ¹⁸ And this voice we hear being carried out of heaven, being together with Him in the holy mountain." ¹⁹ And we are having the prophetic word more confirmed, which you, doing ideally, are heeding (as to a lamp appearing in a dingy place, till the day should be breaking and the morning star should be rising) in your hearts, ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture at all is becoming its own explanation." ²¹ For not by the will of man was prophecy carried on at any time, but, being carried on by holy spirit, holy men of God speak."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ have obtained the same precious faith that we have: ² spiritual blessing and peace be to you in increasing abundance through a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; ³ because His divine power has given us everything that is needful for life and piety, through our full knowledge of Him who through His glory and excellence has called us to Him. ⁴ It is through these that He has given us His precious and glorious promises, so that through them, after you have escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires, you may come to share in the divine nature. ⁵ Now for this very reason you must do your level best to supplement your faith with moral character, moral character with knowledge, ⁶ knowledge with self-control, self-control with patient endurance, patient endurance with piety, ⁷ piety with brotherly affection, brotherly affection with universal love. ⁸ For if you have these qualities and they continue to increase in you, they will make you neither idle nor unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For whoever lacks these qualities is blind -- or short-sighted-- and forgetful of the cleansing that he has received from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be all the more in earnest to make certain to yourselves God's call and choice of you. For if you cultivate these qualities, you will never slip, ¹¹ for it is in this way that to you will be generously granted a triumphant admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore, I will always remind you of these things, although you know them and are firmly grounded in the truth that you already have. ¹³ Yet I think it right, as long as I live in this bodily tent, to arouse you by a reminder, ¹⁴ because I know that the removal of my bodily tent is to be very soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. ¹⁵ Yes, I will be in earnest, so that every time you have occasion, after I have gone away, you may call these things to mind. ¹⁶ For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. ¹⁷ For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, "This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight," ¹⁸ we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. ¹⁹ So we have the message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one's own mind, ²¹ for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man's will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: ² May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; ³ Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue; ⁴ And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh. ⁵ So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue, ⁶ And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind, ⁷ And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself. ⁸ For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins. ¹⁰ For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall: ¹¹ For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith. ¹³ And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory; ¹⁴ For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death. ¹⁶ For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory. ¹⁷ For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts; ²⁰ Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets. ²¹ For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those equally precious with us, having obtained faith in the righteousness of our God and our Savior, Jesus Christ: ² Grace to you, and peace be multiplied by a full knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. ³ As His divine power has given to us all things pertaining to life and godliness through the full knowledge of the One calling us through glory and virtue, ⁴ by which means He has given to us the very great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the divine nature, escaping from the corruption in the world by lust. ⁵ But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling in your faith with virtue; and virtue with knowledge; ⁶ and knowledge with self-control; and self-control with patience; and patience with godliness; ⁷ and godliness with brotherly love; and brotherly love with love. ⁸ For these things being in you, and abounding, they will make you not idle, not unfruitful in the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the one in whom these things are not present is blind, being shortsighted, taking on forgetfulness of the cleansing of his sins in time past. ¹⁰ On account of this, brothers, rather be diligent to make sure of your calling and election; for doing these things, you will not ever fall into sin . ¹¹ For so will be richly furnished to you the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ¹² For this reason I will not neglect to cause you to remember always concerning these things, though you know and have been confirmed in the present truth. ¹³ But I deem it right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder, ¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will also be diligent to cause you always to have memory of these things after my departure. ¹⁶ For not following fables which had been cleverly devised, but having become eyewitnesses of the majesty of Jesus Christ, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord. ¹⁷ For receiving honor and glory from God the Father such a voice being borne to Him from the magnificent glory, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I was well pleased," Psa. 2:7; Gen. 22:2; Isa. 42:1; Matt. 17:5 ¹⁸ even we heard this voice being borne out of Heaven, being with Him in the holy mountain, ¹⁹ and we have the more established prophetic word, in which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a murky place, until day dawns and the Day-star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that every prophecy of Scripture did not come into being of its own interpretation; ²¹ for prophecy was not at any time borne by the will of man, but having been borne along by the Holy Spirit, holy men of God spoke.

SALUTATION
Shimon Petros a servant and an apostle of Yah Shua Messiah: To them who were allotted equally precious trust with us in the justness of Elohim and our Saviour Yah Shua Messiah: ² Charism and shalom be multiplied to you in the knowledge of Elohim and of Yah Shua our Adonay; ³ as his divine dynamis grants us all of life and reverence; through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue: ⁴ through which he gives us magnificent and precious pre-evangelisms: that through these you become partakers of the divine nature - escaping the corruption in the cosmos in its pantings. ⁵ And beside this, in bringing you all diligence, supply in your trust, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, endurance; and in endurance, reverence; ⁷ and in reverence, befriending brothers; and in befriending brothers, love. ⁸ For these being in you, and superabounding, they seat you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah. ⁹ Indeed he to whom these are not present is blind and blinks forgeting the purifying from his sins of long ago. ¹⁰ So the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and selection steadfast: for doing these, you never ever no way stumble: ¹¹ for thus you are richly supplied with an entrance into the eternal sovereigndom of our Adonay and Saviour Yah Shua Messiah. ¹² So I disregard not to ever remind you concerning these, though you know being established in the present truth. ¹³
THE FINAL EVANGELISM OF PETROS
Yes I deem it just, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to rouse you in reminding you; ¹⁴ knowing how quickly the laying aside of my tabernacle is - even exactly as our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah evidenced me. ^{John 21:18, 19} ¹⁵ And I also am diligent for you, so that after my exodus, you ever regard these in remembrance. ¹⁶ For we followed not sophisticated myths when we had you know the dynamis and parousia of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah; but became spectators of his majesty. ¹⁷ For having taken honor and glory from Elohim the Father - when such a voice was brought to him from the majestic glory, This is my beloved Son of whom I well-approve. ¹⁸ - and we heard this voice brought from the heavens being with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹
SCRIPTURE PROPHECY
We also have a steadfast word of prophecy; which you do well to heed, as to a light manifesting in an obscure place, until the day thoroughly dawn and the day phospherescence arise in your hearts: ²⁰ knowing this first, that not any prophecy of the scripture becomes by personal explanation: ²¹ for no prophecy was ever brought by the will of humanity: but holy humans of Elohim spoke - borne by the Holy Spirit.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ [This letter is being written by] Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith just as precious as ours, through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. ² [May God’s] unearned favor and peace be yours in abundance, through the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. ³ God’s divine power has given us everything [necessary] for [abundant] life and godly living, through the knowledge of Him [i.e., God], who called us by His own splendor and goodness. ⁴ By these [blessings] He has given to us the precious and tremendous promises, so that you people may share in His divine nature, [after] having escaped the world’s corruption, caused by evil desires. ⁵ And for this very reason, you people should make every effort to develop goodness along with your faith, ⁶ and knowledge along with your goodness, and self-control along with your knowledge, and endurance along with your self-control, and godliness along with your endurance, ⁷ and brotherly kindness along with your godliness, and with your brotherly kindness, develop love. ⁸ For if you people have a lot of these [qualities] they will keep you from being unproductive and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But, anyone who lacks these qualities is [spiritually] blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed [i.e., forgiven] of his past sins. ¹⁰ So, brothers, be diligent to make sure of your calling and election [i.e., of your status as being selected by God], for when you do, you will never stumble [and fall away from God]. ¹¹ For in this way, you will be provided with a rich welcome into the never ending kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ [i.e., in heaven]. ¹² Therefore, I intend to constantly remind you people about these things [i.e., those mentioned in verses 5-11], even though you [already] know them, and have been established in the truth you now possess. ¹³ But I consider it the right thing to do, as long as I am in this “tent” [Note: This is an allusion to his still being alive], to stir up your memory [of these things], ¹⁴ knowing that [I will] soon put off my “tent” [i.e., I will soon die], even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will make every effort to see that, after I leave [i.e., die], you will always be able to recall the things [I said to you]. ¹⁶ For we did not use cleverly conceived stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, because we were eyewitnesses of His Majesty [i.e., the apostles had personally seen the miraculous power of Jesus]. ¹⁷ For Jesus had received honor and glory from God, the Father, when [God’s] voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, and I am very pleased with Him.” ¹⁸ And we heard this voice coming from heaven when we were with Him in the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the message of the prophets [confirmed to us] as more certain [than ever]. So, you will do well to pay careful attention to it, as [you would] to a lamp in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts [Note: This probably refers to the beginning of the Gospel age, when people would become enlightened to its message]. ²⁰ Above all, [you should realize] that no prophecy of Scripture originates from a person’s own initiative [Note: This passage is discussing the source of Scripture, not the understanding of it]. ²¹ For prophecy was never produced by the will of man, but people spoke from God, as they were carried along [i.e., inspired] by the Holy Spirit.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ² Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, ³ as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue. ⁴ Because of which, the precious and greatest promises have been given to us, so that through these ye might become companions of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in lust. ⁵ Now this same thing also, having applied all eagerness, furnish in your faith, virtue, and in virtue, knowledge, ⁶ and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, piety, ⁷ and in piety, brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection, love. ⁸ For these things existing in you and abounding, it leads to not being idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being near-sighted, having deliberately forgotten the purification of his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble. ¹¹ For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I will not neglect to always remind you about these things, although having known them, and having been established in the present truth. ¹³ But I think it right, inasmuch as I am in this tent, to arouse you in memory. ¹⁴ Knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me. ¹⁵ And also I will endeavor for you to always have, after my departure, the memory of these things to apply. ¹⁶ For we revealed to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, not men who followed in cunningly devised myths, but men who became eyewitnesses of the majesty of that man. ¹⁷ For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word sure, to which ye do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar arises in your hearts. ²⁰ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture comes to pass of a personal interpretation. ²¹ For no prophecy was ever brought by a will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being led by the Holy Spirit.

For if you do these things, you will never fall; ¹¹ so there will be an entrance richly provided for you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. ¹³ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder, ¹⁴ since I know that the putting aside of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will see to it that after my departure you will be able at any time to call these things to mind. ¹⁶ For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." ¹⁸ We ourselves heard this voice coming from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word made more sure, and you will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, ²¹ for no prophecy was ever made by the act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

3 G5613 seeing that G846 his G2304 divine G1411 power G1433 has granted G2254 to us G3956 all things G3588 that G4314 pertain to G2222 life G2532 and G2150 godliness, G1223 through G1922 the knowledge G2564 of him who called G2248 us G1223 by G1391 his own glory G2532 and G703 virtue;

4 G1223 by G1223 which G1433 he has granted G2254 to us G5093 his precious G2532 and G3176 exceedingly great G1862 promises; G2443 that G1223 through G5130 these G1096 you may become G2844 partakers G5449 of the G2304 divine G5449 nature, G668 having escaped G5356 from the corruption G1722 that is in G2889 the world G1722 by G1939 lust.

5 G1161 Yes, G2532 and G846 for G5124 this G2023 very cause adding G5216 on your G3956 part all G4710 diligence, G5216 in your G4102 faith G3923 supply G703 moral excellence; G1161 and G1722 in G703 moral excellence, G1108 knowledge;

6 G1161 and G1722 in G1108 knowledge, G1466 self-control; G1161 and G1722 in G1466 self-control G5281 patience; G1161 and G1722 in G5281 patience G2150 godliness;

7 G1161 and G1722 in G2150 godliness G5360 brotherly affection; G1161 and G1722 in G5360 brotherly affection, G26 love.

8 G1063 For G5225 if G5023 these things G5225 are G5213 yours G2532 and G4121 abound, G2525 they make G5213 you G3756 to be not G692 idle G3761 nor G175 unfruitful G1922 to the knowledge G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G1063 For G3739 he who G3361 G3918 lacks G5023 these things G2076 is G5185 blind, G3467 seeing only what is near, G2983 having G3024 forgotten G2512 the cleansing G266 from G846 his G3819 old G266 sins.

10 G1352 Therefore, G80 brothers, G3123 be more G4704 diligent G4160 to make G5216 your G2821 calling G2532 and G1589 election G949 sure. G1063 For G4160 if you do G5023 these things, G4218 you will G4417 G3756 never G4218 G4417 stumble.

11 G1063 For G3779 thus G5213 you G4146 will be richly G2023 supplied G1529 with the entrance G1519 into G166 the eternal G932 Kingdom G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Savior, G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Therefore G272 I will G3756 not G272 be negligent G5279 to G5279 remind G5209 you G104 G4012 of G5130 these things, G2539 though G1492 you know G2532 them, and G4741 are established G1722 in G3918 the present G225 truth.

13 G1161 I G2233 think it G1909 right, G3745 as long as G1510 I am G1722 in G5129 this G4638 tent, G1326 to stir G5209 you G1326 up G1722 by G5280 reminding G5209 you;

14 G1492 knowing G3754 that G595 the putting off G3450 of my G4638 tent G5031 comes swiftly, G2532 even G2531 as G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 made clear G3427 to me.

15 G5209 Yes, G4704 I will make every effort G4704 that G5209 you G1539 may always G4160 be able G3420 to remember G5130 these things G3326 even after G1699 my G1841 departure.

16 G1063 For G1811 we did G3756 not G1811 follow G4679 cunningly devised G3454 fables, G1107 when we made known G5213 to you G1411 the power G2532 and G3952 coming G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G235 but G1096 we were G2030 eyewitnesses G3168 of G1565 his G3168 majesty.

17 G1063 For G2983 he received G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G5092 honor G2532 and G1391 glory, G5107 when the G5456 voice G5342 came G846 to him G5259 from G1391 the G3169 Majestic G1391 Glory, G3778 "This G2076 is G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son, G1519 in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 am well pleased."

18 G2249 We G191 heard G3778 this G5456 voice G5342 come G1537 out G3772 of heaven G2249 when we G5607 were G4862 with G846 him G1722 on G3735 the G40 holy G3735 mountain.

19 G2192 We have G949 the more sure G3056 word G4397 of prophecy; G2532 and G4160 you do G2573 well G4337 that you heed G5117 it, as G3088 to a lamp G5316 shining G1722 in G850 a dark G5117 place, G2193 until G3757 G2250 the day G1306 dawns, G2532 and G5459 the morning star G393 arises G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts:

20 G1097 knowing G5124 this G4412 first, G3754 that G3756 no G4394 prophecy G1124 of Scripture G1096 is G1955 of G3956 G2398 private G1955 interpretation.

21 G1063 For G4394 no prophecy G3756 ever G5342 came G4218 G2307 by the will G444 of man: G235 but G40 holy G444 men G5259 of G2316 God G2980 spoke, G5342 being moved G4151 by the G40 Holy G4151 Spirit.

2 G5485 Grace G1515 and peace G4129 be multiplied G1722 to you through G1922 the knowledge G2316 of God, G2424 and of Jesus G2962 our Lord,

3 G5613 According G2304 as his divine G1411 power G1433 has given G3956 to us all G2222 things that pertain to life G2150 and godliness, G1223 through G1922 the knowledge G2564 of him that has called G1391 us to glory G703 and virtue:

4 G1223 Whereby G3739 G1433 are given G3176 to us exceeding great G5093 and precious G1862 promises: G5130 that by these G2844 you might be partakers G2304 of the divine G5449 nature, G668 having escaped G5356 the corruption G2889 that is in the world G1722 through G1939 lust.

5 G846 And beside G5124 this, G3923 giving G3956 all G4710 diligence, G2023 add G5216 to your G4102 faith G703 virtue; G703 and to virtue G1108 knowledge;

6 G1108 And to knowledge G1466 temperance; G1466 and to temperance G5281 patience; G5281 and to patience G2150 godliness;

7 G2150 And to godliness G5360 brotherly G5360 kindness; G5360 and to brotherly G5360 kindness G26 charity.

8 G5023 For if these G4121 things be in you, and abound, G2525 they make G3756 you that you shall neither G692 be barren G3761 nor G175 unfruitful G1922 in the knowledge G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G3361 But he that lacks G3918 G5023 these G5185 things is blind, G3467 and cannot G3467 see G3467 afar G3024 off, and has forgotten G2983 G2512 that he was purged G3819 from his old G266 sins.

10 G1352 Why G3123 the rather, G80 brothers, G4710 give diligence G4160 to make G5216 your G2821 calling G1589 and election G949 sure: G4160 for if you do G5023 these G3364 things, you shall never G4219 G4417 fall:

11 G3779 For so G1529 an entrance G2023 shall be ministered G4146 to you abundantly G1519 into G166 the everlasting G932 kingdom G2962 of our Lord G4990 and Savior G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Why G272 I will not be negligent G5279 to put G104 you always G5179 in remembrance G5130 of these G2539 things, though G1492 you know G4741 them, and be established G3918 in the present G225 truth.

13 G1161 Yes, G2233 I think G1342 it meet, G1510 as long as I am G5129 in this G4638 tabernacle, G1326 to stir G5279 you up by putting G5280 you in remembrance;

14 G1492 Knowing G5031 that shortly G595 I must put G595 off G3588 this G4638 my tabernacle, G2532 even G2962 as our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 has showed me.

15 G1161 Moreover G2532 G4704 I will endeavor G2192 that you may be able G3326 after G1841 my decease G5130 to have these G1539 things always G3420 in remembrance.

16 G1811 For we have not followed G4679 cunningly devised G3454 fables, G1107 when we made G1107 known G1411 to you the power G3952 and coming G2962 of our Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G2030 but were eyewitnesses G3168 of his majesty.

17 G2983 For he received G2316 from God G3962 the Father G5092 honor G1391 and glory, G5342 when there came G5107 such G5456 a voice G3169 to him from the excellent G1391 glory, G3778 This G27 is my beloved G5207 Son, G3739 in whom G2106 I am well G2106 pleased.

18 G5026 And this G5456 voice G5342 which came G3772 from heaven G191 we heard, G40 when we were with him in the holy G3735 mount.

19 G2192 We have G2532 also G949 a more sure G3056 word G4397 of prophecy; G3739 whereunto G4160 you do G2573 well G4337 that you take heed, G3088 as to a light G5316 that shines G850 in a dark G5117 place, G2193 until G2250 the day G1306 dawn, G5459 and the day G5459 star G393 arise G5216 in your G2588 hearts:

20 G1097 Knowing G5124 this G4412 first, G3956 that no G3756 G4394 prophecy G1124 of the scripture G2398 is of any private G1955 interpretation.

21 G4394 For the prophecy G5342 came G4218 not in old G4218 time G2307 by the will G444 of man: G40 but holy G444 men G2316 of God G2980 spoke G5342 as they were moved G40 by the Holy G4151 Ghost.

4 G1223 By G3739 which G1433 are given G2254 to us G3176 exceedingly great G2532 and G5093 precious G1862 promises: G2443 that G1223 by G5130 these G1096 you might be G2844 partakers G5449 of the G2304 divine G5449 nature, G668 having escaped G5356 the corruption G1722 that is in G2889 the world G1722 through G1939 lust.

5 G2532 And G1161 G846 because G5124 of this, G3923 giving G3956 all G4710 diligence, G2023 add G1722 to G5216 your G4102 faith G703 virtue; G1161 and G1722 to G703 virtue G1108 knowledge;

6 G1161 And G1722 to G1108 knowledge G1466 self-control; G1161 and G1722 to G1466 self-control G5281 patience; G1161 and G1722 to G5281 patience G2150 godliness;

7 G1161 And G1722 to G2150 godliness G5360 brotherly kindness; G1161 and G1722 to G5360 brotherly kindness G26 love.

8 G1063 For G5225 if G5023 these things G5225 are G5213 in you, G2532 and G4121 abound, G2525 they make G3756 you that you shall neither G692 be childless G3761 nor G175 unfruitful G1519 in G1922 the knowledge G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G1063 But G3739 he that G3361 G3918 lacks G5023 these things G2076 is G5185 blind, G3467 and cannot see afar off, G2983 and has G3024 forgotten G2512 that he was purged G266 from G846 his G3819 old G266 sins.

10 G1352 Therefore G80 brothers, G3123 give more G4704 diligence G4160 to make G5216 your G2821 calling G2532 and G1589 election G949 sure: G1063 for G4160 if you do G5023 these things, G4218 you shall G4417 G3364 never G4218 G4417 fall:

11 G1063 For G3779 thus G1529 an entrance G2023 shall be served G5213 to you G4146 abundantly G1519 into G166 the everlasting G932 kingdom G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2532 and G4990 Savior G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

12 G1352 Therefore G272 I will G3756 not G272 be negligent G5279 to put G5209 you G104 always G5279 in memory G4012 of G5130 these things, G2539 though G1492 you know G2532 them, and G4741 are established G1722 in G3918 the present G225 truth.

13 G1161 Yes, G2233 I think it G1909 suitable, G3745 as long as G1510 I am G1722 in G5129 this G4638 tabernacle, G1326 to stir G5209 you G1326 up G5280 by putting G1722 you in G5280 memory;

14 G1492 Knowing G3754 that G5031 shortly G595 I must put off G3450 this my G4638 tabernacle, G2532 even G2531 as G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1213 has shown G3427 me.

15 G1161 Moreover G4704 I will endeavor that G5209 you G4160 may be able G3326 after G1699 my G1841 departure G2192 to have G5130 these things G1539 always G3420 in memory.

16 G1063 For G1811 we have G3756 not G1811 followed G4679 cunningly devised G3454 fables, G1107 when we made known G5213 to you G1411 the power G2532 and G3952 coming G2962 of G2257 our G2962 Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ, G235 but G1096 were G2030 eyewitnesses G3168 of G1565 his G3168 majesty.

17 G1063 For G2983 he received G3844 from G2316 God G3962 the Father G5092 honor G2532 and G1391 glory, G5342 when there came G5107 such G5456 a voice G846 to him G5259 from G1391 the G3169 excellent G1391 glory, G3778 This G2076 is G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son, G1519 in G3739 whom G1473 I G2106 am well pleased.

18 G2532 And G3778 this G5456 voice G5342 which came G1537 from G3772 heaven G2249 we G191 heard, G5607 when we were G4862 with G846 him G1722 in G3735 the G40 holy G3735 mountain.

19 G2192 We have G2532 also G949 a more sure G3056 word G4397 of prophecy; G3739 to which G4160 you do G2573 well G4337 that you take care, G5613 as G3088 to a light G5316 that shines G1722 in G850 a dark G5117 place, G2193 until G3757 G2250 the day G1306 dawns, G2532 and G5459 the day star G393 arise G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts:

20 G1097 Knowing G5124 this G4412 first, G3754 that G3756 no G4394 prophecy G1124 of the scripture G1096 is G1955 of G3956 any G2398 private G1955 interpretation.

21 G1063 For G4394 prophecy G5342 came G3756 not G4218 in old time G2307 by the will G444 of man: G235 but G40 holy G444 men G5259 of G2316 God G2980 spoke G5342 as they were moved G4151 by the G40 Holy G4151 Spirit.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ² May grace and peace be multiplied to you in your knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. ³ As His divine power has granted to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, ⁴ through which have been given to us precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through these we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. ⁵ But also for this very reason, making every effort, provide with your faith virtue, and with virtue knowledge, ⁶ and with knowledge self-control, and with self-control perseverance, and with perseverance godliness, ⁷ and with godliness brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love. ⁸ For if these things belong to you and are increasing, it makes you neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he who lacks these things is blind, being shortsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his past sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for by doing these things you shall by no means stumble at any time. ¹¹ For in this way the entrance will be supplied to you richly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I shall not neglect to constantly remind you concerning these things, although you know and have been established in the present truth. ¹³ But I consider it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by a reminder, ¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tent is soon, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will make an effort also, whenever necessary, to cause you to have a reminder of these things after my departure. ¹⁶ For we did not follow craftily devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but rather became eyewitnesses of His majesty. ¹⁷ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice was brought to Him such as this by the Magnificent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." ¹⁸ And we heard this voice being uttered from heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed, as a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture comes about from one's own interpretation, ²¹ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being brought along by the Holy Spirit.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same kind of faith in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ² may grace and peace be multiplied to you through a real knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus, ³ in that His divine power has granted to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the real knowledge of the One who called us by glory and excellence, ⁴ through which He has granted to us such precious and extraordinary promises, so that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped the depravity that is in the world because of lust. ⁵ So for this very reason, making every effort, to your faith add excellence, and to the excellence knowledge, ⁶ and to the knowledge self-control, and to the self-control perseverance, and to the perseverance godliness, ⁷ and to the godliness brotherly affection, and to the brotherly affection love. ⁸ Because with these things existing and increasing in you, it makes you to be neither useless nor unfruitful in the real knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he who lacks these things is blind, being so myopic, having forgotten the cleansing from his past sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, you should be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble. ¹¹ Because in this way you will be granted the abundant entrance into the unending kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² So then, I will not neglect to keep reminding you about these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Yes, I think it right to stir you up by a reminder, as long as I am in this ‘tent’, ¹⁴ knowing that the shedding of my ‘tent’ is imminent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ Moreover I will take pains to provide a reminder of these things for you to have, as needed, after my exit. ¹⁶ Now then, we did not follow craftily devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, rather we were attentive eyewitnesses of His majesty ¹⁷ —because He received from God the Father honor and glory when that voice was directed to Him by the Magnificent Glory, “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am always well pleased”— ¹⁸ yes, we heard this voice being uttered from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And so we have the most reliable prophetic Word, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture comes to be from private release; ²¹ for no Prophecy ever came by the will of man, rather holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a slave and sent-off representative (or: emissary) of Jesus Christ, to (or: for) the folks obtaining by lot an equally valuable (precious; honorable) faith, conviction, trust and loyalty, along with us, within the midst of and in union with fair and equitable treatment, as well as with rightwised relationships (= covenant membership), which come from and characterize our God and Savior (Deliverer; Rescuer; Source of health and wholeness), Jesus Christ (or: Jesus, [the] Anointed One; = Jesus, [the] Messiah): ² May grace and peace (or: favor and harmony [= shalom]) be multiplied (or: caused to increase) to you (or: by you; in you; for you) within full (or: accurate; complete; added) intimate and experiential knowledge and insight of God, even Jesus, our Lord (or: from God as well as from Jesus, Who is our Master; or: of God, and of our Owner, Jesus), ³ just as all those things [leading] toward life and reverence (standing in awe of goodness, with adoration; the well-being of devotion and virtuous conduct from ease, in true relation to God) [are] being now available for us from having been freely given to us (or: presented as a gift in us) from His divine power and ability through the full (accurate; complete; added) intimate and experiential knowledge of the One calling us to His own (or: by His own; for His own; in His own; [other MSS read: through]) glory and excellence in nobleness (i.e., virtues of: braveness, courage, good character, quality, self-restraint, magnificence, benevolence, reliability, moral valor). ⁴ [It is] through means of which things – the precious (valuable; honorable) and greatest effects of the promises – [that] He has been freely given (or: has presented Himself as a gift) to us, to the end that through these [gifts], you folks would come to be (or: could come into existence being; should be born) people of common-being from a divine essence and nature (or: folks having a partnered share that is based upon a common existence from a divine born-instinct and native condition; or: fellow participants of a germination which is divine), while fleeing from the corruption (ruin; decay) within the dominant System (or: that is united with the secular realm; or: centered in the ordered world of society, religion, culture, economy and government; or: in the center of the aggregate of mankind), [which is] in the midst of passionate cravings (rushing emotions; lusts; violent over-desires; [or, with p72 & Aleph: fleeing the strong desire of corruption within the world]). ⁵ Yet, also, this same (or: And yet for this very cause): while bringing into and alongside (i.e., making full use of) all diligent haste, you folks at once fully lead the chorus of (or: completely choreograph) the excellence and nobleness (virtues of braveness, courage, good character, quality, self-restraint, magnificence, benevolence, reliability, moral valor) [being inherent] within your faith and trust; along with the intimate, experiential knowledge [being] within the excellence and nobleness (virtues of braveness, courage, good character, quality, self-restraint, magnificence, benevolence, reliability, moral valor); ⁶ also the inner strength and self-restraint [which is inherent] within the intimate, experiential knowledge, as well as the persistent remaining under in humble support (or: steadfast, patient endurance) [being inherently] within the inner strength and self-restraint; and then the reverence (ease of virtuous conduct from true relation to God) [inherent] within the persistent remaining under in humble support (or: steadfast, patient endurance); ⁷ and further, the brotherly affection (fondness for the fellow believers) [resident] within the reverence (awe with goodness; well-being of devout, virtuous conduct in the ease of true relation to God); and then finally, the love (uniting acceptance) within the brotherly affection. ⁸ You see, these things are constantly subsisting (or: supportively sub-governing; humbly ruling; beginning from below) as a possession in you folks [or, with A and others: are continually existing alongside being present for you] and are repeatedly being more than enough (abounding) – neither [being] inactive (or: ineffective) nor unfruitful (or: unproductive). He is continually setting [these] down and causing [them] to stand in accord [in you] unto the accurate, additional (or: full), experiential and intimate knowledge of our Lord (or: Owner; Master), Jesus Christ. ⁹ You see, the person in whom these things are not continuously present exists being (or: is) blind, constantly closing his or her eyes, taking hold of forgetfulness of (or: receiving oblivion in regard to) the cleansing from his/her old sins (mistakes of the past; former failure; [other MSS: from the results and effects of his/her former sins and errors]). ¹⁰ Wherefore (or: Because of this), brothers (= [my] family), hasten to exert yourselves to a greater extent to constantly make firm (sure-footed and steadfast) your calling (or: invitation) and election (selection; act of choosing out); for you see, in repeatedly doing these things, you can by no means (would under no circumstances) stumble once (or: at any time). ¹¹ For thus (in this way) the Path of entrance (or: the place and act of the Way unto) into the center or midst of the eonian reign (or: the Kingdom pertaining to and having the character and qualities of the Age; the for-the-ages sovereign influence and actions) of our Lord and Savior (or: Owner and Deliverer), Jesus Christ [= [the] Messiah], will continue being richly furnished and fully supplied for you (in you; to you). ¹² Wherefore (or: For this cause) it will always continue being my intent to be constantly reminding you concerning these things – even though [you are] being folks having seen and thus knowing, and ones being set and firmly established within the truth and reality [that is] being continuously present (existing alongside) [with and in you]. ¹³ But I am continuously considering it right, and in accord with the Way pointed out – as long as I continue existing within this tent-effect (or: tabernacle) – to keep on arousing and awakening you with a reminder, ¹⁴ having seen and now knowing that swift [in approach] is the laying aside (or: the putting off or away) of my tent-effect (or: tabernacle; = body), according as also our Lord, Jesus Christ, made clearly visible to me (or: makes [it] evident for and in me). ¹⁵ But I will also continue earnestly hastening (or: quickly endeavoring) to always have you, after my departure (exodus; a road out; = death), to continually make mention (or: make the recollection) of these things. ¹⁶ For we did (or: do) not experientially or intimately make known to you the power and presence (or: ability and [the] being alongside; parousia) of our Lord, Jesus Christ, by following forth in (or: by) wisely made myths (or: in being made wise by myths or fables; or: with fables modified by wisdom; or: to cleverly crafted stories), but rather, [from] becoming (or: being made to be; being birthed) eyewitnesses (onlookers; spectators) of that One's magnificence (or: of that greatness): ¹⁷ for you see, from the side of (or: [standing] beside) Father God, [He was] receiving honor (value; preciousness) and glory (or: a reputation) from a Voice being carried to Him by the fitting greatness and majesty of glory and which came from the manifestation which called forth praise (or: = of a Sound or Shout being swept along under the magnificent grandeur of the Sh'khinah Presence) such as follows: "My Son, My Beloved One, is This One [other MSS: This One is existing being My Son, My Beloved One] into the midst of Whom I Myself placed delight [other MSS: within Whom I was well pleased, and find approval; in union with Whom I have good thoughts]." ¹⁸ And we ourselves, being together with Him within the set-apart (or: holy; sacred) mountain, heard this Voice being carried out of heaven (or: swept along from the midst of [the] atmosphere and sky). ¹⁹ And so, we continue having (or: constantly hold) the Idea which was spoken ahead of time in and as Light (or: the prior-enlightened Thought and Reason; or: the Prophetic Word) more confirmed (validated; established; certain), by which (or: in which) you folks continue doing beautifully (performing ideally; producing finely), while continuously holding toward (= playing close attention to) [it] as to a lamp continually shining within a parched place – until which [time or occasion] the Day may shine through and a light bearer [= a morning star] may rise within your hearts (or: constantly heeding, as to a lamp progressively making things appear in a dark, dingy or dirty place, until that the Day can dawn, and a light-bringer can arise in union with your core and innermost being), ²⁰ constantly knowing this first, that every (or: all) previously enlightened information of Scripture [p72: prophecy and Scripture] is not coming to be unbound upon its own (or: is not being born of its own unloosing; or: is not becoming its own explaining; or: is not coming into existence upon one's own releasing), ²¹ for you see, previously enlightened information (or: prophecy) was (or: is) not at any time brought by (or: in; for) [the] will (intent; resolve; purpose) of a human, but rather being continuously carried by (or: swept along under [the influence of]) [the] set-apart Breath-effect (or: Holy Spirit), [some MSS add: set-apart; holy] people spoke (or: speak) from God.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Include self-control with your knowledge. Supply patience to your self-control. Your patience should be helped by godliness. ⁷ Add brotherly kindness to your godliness. And to your brotherly kindness add love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and abound in you they will keep you from being inactive or unfruitful regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For he who lacks these qualities is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. ¹⁰ Brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election (choosing) sure. If you do (practice) (exercise) (apply) these things, you will never stumble! ¹¹ For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly (abundantly) supplied to you. ¹² I will always be ready to remind you of these things. Even though you know them, and are established in the truth that is present with you. ¹³ I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by reminding you. ¹⁴ I know that putting off my earthly dwelling is imminent, even as our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me. ¹⁵ I will be diligent so that every time after my departure you will remember these things. ¹⁶ We did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ He received honor and glory from God the Father when he heard the voice from the Majestic Glory: »This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.« ¹⁸ We heard this voice from out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ We have the word of prophecy made sure (steadfast) (firm)! You do well that you pay attention [to God’s Word] as you would to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the daystar rises, in your hearts. ²⁰ Know this first that no prophecy of scripture is for private interpretation. ²¹ For no prophecy ever came by the will of man! Men spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit. ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God, and of our Savior Jesus Christ: ² Grace to you and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord! ³ His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This is through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue (excellence). ⁴ He offered us his precious and exceedingly great promises. Through these you may become partakers of the divine nature. You will escape from the corruption that is in the lust-filled world. ⁵ Yes, for this very reason you do your part with all diligence. Supply virtue to your faith. Add knowledge to your virtue.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ GreetingsFrom: Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus, the Messiah.
To: Those who have received faith that is as valuable as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.
² May grace and peace be yours in abundance through full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!
³ We are Called to Holy LivingHis divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence. ⁴ Through these he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, seeing that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world caused by evil desires. ⁵ For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge, ⁶ your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness, ⁷ your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love. ⁸ For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah. ⁹ For the person who lacks these qualities is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing that he has received from his past sins.
¹⁰ So then, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election certain, for if you keep on doing this you will never fail. ¹¹ For in this way you will be generously granted entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Messiah.
¹² Therefore, I intend to keep on reminding you about these things, even though you already know them and are firmly established in the truth that you now have. ¹³ Yet I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I am living in this bodily tent, ¹⁴ because I know that the removal of my bodily tent will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, has shown me. ¹⁵ And I will make every effort to see that you will always remember these things after I am gone.
¹⁶ Pay Attention to God’s WordWhen we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, we did not follow any clever myths. Rather, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when these words from the Majestic Glory were spoken about him: “This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him.” ¹⁸ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ Therefore we regard the message of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp that is shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ First of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, ²¹ because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith equal in value to ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. ² May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, ³ because his divine power has bestowed on us all things that are necessary for life and godliness, through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence of character, ⁴ through which things he has bestowed on us his precious and very great promises, so that through these you may become sharers of the divine nature after* escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire, ⁵ and for this same reason, and by* applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge, ⁶ and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness, ⁷ and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love. ⁸ For if* these things are yours and are increasing, this does not make you useless or unproductive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the one for whom these things are not present is blind, being nearsighted, _⌊having forgotten the cleansing_⌋* of his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be zealous even more to make your calling and election secure, because if you* do these things, you will never ever stumble. ¹¹ For in this way entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied for you. ¹² Therefore I intend to remind you continually concerning these things, although you know them and are established in the truth that you have. ¹³ But I consider it right, for as long as I am in this habitation, to stir you up by a reminder, ¹⁴ because I* know that the removal of my habitation is imminent, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will also make every effort that you are able at any time, after my departure, _⌊to recall these things to mind_⌋*. ¹⁶ For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by* following ingeniously concocted myths, but by* being eyewitnesses of that one's majesty. ¹⁷ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when* a voice such as this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." ¹⁸ And we ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we* were with him on the holy mountain, ¹⁹ and we possess as more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well if you* pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, ²⁰ recognizing this above all, that every prophecy of scripture does not come about from one's own interpretation, ²¹ for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those having obtained a faith equally precious with ours, through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ² Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. ³ Accordingly, His divine power has given us all things toward life and godliness, through the knowledge of the One having called us by His own glory and excellence, ⁴ through which He has given to us the precious and magnificent promises, so that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the decay in the world in desire. ⁵ Now also for this very reason, having brought in all earnestness, supplement into your faith virtue, and into virtue knowledge, ⁶ and into knowledge self-control, and into self-control endurance, and into endurance godliness, ⁷ and into godliness brotherly affection, and into brotherly affection love. ⁸ For these things being in you and abounding, make you neither idle nor unfruitful as to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For in whomever these things are not present, he is blind, being short sighted, having received forgetfulness of the purification from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be diligent, rather, to make your calling and election sure.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are allotted an equally precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: ² may grace and peace be multiplied to you in the full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
³ As his divine power has been bestowed to us as a gift, (all things pertaining to life and godliness), through the full knowledge of the one who called us through glory and virtue; ⁴ through which he has bestowed to us as a gift, his precious and greatest promises; in order that you might become partners of the divine nature through these things, having fled away from the corruption in the world among its lust.
⁵ Now also for this same thing, besides having entered in all diligence, supply in your faith, virtue, and in your virtue, knowledge ⁶ and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, endurance, and in your endurance, godliness; ⁷ and in your godliness, brotherly-love, and in your brotherly-love, love. ⁸ For if these things are existing and increasing in you, none will designate you idle or unfruitful toward the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the one is blind in whom these things are not present, being short-sighted, having taken on himself the forgetfulness of the cleansing from his old sins.
¹⁰ Hence brethren, be more diligent to make your calling and choice steadfast; for, you may never trip someday while practicing these things; ¹¹ for so the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.
¹² Hence, I will habitually not be neglecting to remind you concerning these things, although you know them and are established in the present truth. ¹³ But I am deeming it righteous, inasmuch as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you with a reminder; ¹⁴ knowing that the removal of my tabernacle is coming quickly, just-as our Lord Jesus Christ indicated to me. ¹⁵ But I will also be diligent, each-time, to have you in remembrance of these things, to practice them after my exodus. ¹⁶ For we did not follow wisely devised fables, when we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but in that, we became eyewitnesses of that majesty. ¹⁷ For having received honor and glory from God the Father, when such a voice was carried to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted. ¹⁸ And we heard this voice, having been carried from heaven, being together with him in the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the steadfast prophetic word, (as to a lamp appearing in a dreary place, until the day should dawn and the morning-star might rise), to which you are doing well, and taking-heed in your hearts. ²⁰ Knowing this first, that every prophecy of Scripture does not come from one’s own interpretation. ²¹ For no prophecy was ever brought about by the will of man, but the holy men of God spoke the word being carried by the Holy Spirit.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: ² May grace and peace be yours in abundance through full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord! ³ His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. ⁴ Through these he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, seeing that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world caused by evil desires. ⁵ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall; ¹¹ and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. ¹³ I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body, ¹⁴ since I know that it will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times. ¹⁶ For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." ¹⁸ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word made more sure, and you will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. ²⁰ Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from the prophet’s own interpretation. ²¹ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Petrus, ein Knecht und Apostel Jesu Christi: Denen, die mit uns eben denselbigen teuren Glauben überkommen haben in der Gerechtigkeit, die unser Gott gibt und der Heiland Jesus Christus. ² Gott gebe euch viel Gnade und Frieden durch die Erkenntnis Gottes und Jesu Christi, unsers HERRN! ³ Nachdem allerlei seiner göttlichen Kraft (was zum Leben und göttlichen Wandel dienet) uns geschenket ist durch die Erkenntnis des, der uns berufen hat durch seine HERRLIchkeit und Tugend, ⁴ durch welche uns die teuren und allergrößten Verheißungen geschenket sind, nämlich daß ihr durch dasselbige teilhaftig werdet der göttlichen Natur, so ihr fliehet die vergängliche Lust der Welt: ⁵ so wendet allen euren Fleiß daran und reichet dar in eurem Glauben Tugend und in der Tugend Bescheidenheit ⁶ und in der Bescheidenheit Mäßigkeit und in der Mäßigkeit Geduld und in der Geduld Gottseligkeit ⁷ und in der Gottseligkeit brüderliche Liebe und in der brüderlichen Liebe gemeine Liebe. ⁸ Denn wo solches reichlich bei euch ist, wird's euch nicht faul noch unfruchtbar sein lassen in der Erkenntis unsers HERRN Jesu Christi. ⁹ Welcher aber solches nicht hat, der ist blind und tappet mit der Hand und vergißt der Reinigung seiner vorigen Sünden. ¹⁰ Darum, liebe Brüder, tut desto mehr Fleiß, eure Berufung und Erwählung festzumachen. Denn wo ihr solches tut, werdet ihr nicht straucheln. ¹¹ Und also wird euch reichlich dargereicht werden der Eingang zu dem ewigen Reich unsers HERRN und Heilandes Jesu Christi. ¹² Darum will ich's nicht lassen, euch allezeit solches zu erinnern, wiewohl ihr's wisset und gestärkt seid in der gegenwärtigen Wahrheit. ¹³ Denn ich achte es billig sein, solange ich in dieser Hütte bin, euch zu erwecken und zu erinnern. ¹⁴ Denn ich weiß, daß ich meine Hütte bald ablegen muß, wie mir denn auch unser HERR Jesus Christus eröffnet hat. ¹⁵ Ich will aber Fleiß tun, daß ihr allenthalben habet nach meinem Abschied, solches im Gedächtnis zu halten. ¹⁶ Denn wir haben nicht den klugen Fabeln gefolget, da wir euch kundgetan haben die Kraft und Zukunft unsers HERRN Jesu Christi, sondern wir haben seine HERRLIchkeit selber gesehen, ¹⁷ da er empfing von Gott dem Vater Ehre und Preis durch eine Stimme, die zu ihm geschah von der großen HERRLIchkeit dermaßen: Dies ist mein lieber Sohn, an dem ich Wohlgefallen habe. ¹⁸ Und diese Stimme haben wir gehöret vom Himmel gebracht, da wir mit ihm waren auf dem heiligen Berge. ¹⁹ Wir haben ein festes prophetisches Wort, und ihr tut wohl, daß ihr darauf achtet als auf ein Licht, das da scheinet in einem dunkeln Ort, bis der Tag anbreche, und der Morgenstern aufgehe in euren Herzen. ²⁰ Und das sollt ihr für das erste wissen, daß keine Weissagung in der Schrift geschieht aus eigener Auslegung; ²¹ denn es ist noch nie keine Weissagung aus menschlichem Willen hervorgebracht; sondern die heiligen Menschen Gottes haben geredet, getrieben von dem Heiligen Geist.

8 G1063 Denn G5023 wo solches G4121 reichlich G5213 bei euch G5225 ist G2525 , wird‘s G2532 euch nicht G692 faul G3756 noch G175 unfruchtbar G1519 sein lassen in G2257 der Erkenntis unsers G2962 HErrn G2424 JEsu G5547 Christi .

8 G1063 Denn G5023 wenn diese Dinge G5213 bei euch G5225 sind G2532 und G4121 reichlich vorhanden, G2525 so stellen G3756 sie euch nicht G692 träge G3761 noch G175 fruchtleer G1519 in Bezug auf G1922 die Erkenntnis G2257 unseres G2962 Herrn G2424 Jesu G5547 Christi.

9 G1063 Denn G3739 bei welchem G5023 diese Dinge G3361 nicht G3918 sind, G2076 der ist G5185 blind, G3467 kurzsichtig G3024 und hat G2512 die Reinigung G846 seiner G3819 vorigen G266 Sünden G3024 G2983 vergessen.

10 G1352 Darum, G80 Brüder, G4704 befleißiget G3123 euch um so mehr, G5216 eure G2821 Berufung G2532 und G1589 Erwählung G949 fest G4160 zu machen; G1063 denn G5023 wenn ihr diese Dinge G4160 tut, G4417 so werdet G3364 G4218 ihr niemals G4417 straucheln.

11 G1063 Denn G3779 also G2023 wird G5213 euch G4146 reichlich G2023 dargereicht G1529 werden der Eingang G1519 in G166 das ewige G932 Reich G2257 unseres G2962 Herrn G2532 und G4990 Heilandes G2424 Jesu G5547 Christi.

12 G1352 Deshalb G3199 will ich Sorge tragen, G5209 euch G104 immer G4012 an G5130 diese Dinge G5279 zu erinnern, G2539 wiewohl G1492 ihr sie wisset G2532 und G1722 in G3918 der gegenwärtigen G225 Wahrheit G4741 befestigt seid.

13 G2233 Ich halte G1161 es aber G2233 für G1342 recht, G1909 G3745 solange G1722 ich in G5129 dieser G4638 Hütte G1510 bin, G5209 euch G1722 durch G5280 Erinnerung G1326 aufzuwecken,

14 G1492 da ich weiß, G3754 daß G595 das Ablegen G3450 meiner G4638 Hütte G5031 bald G2076 geschieht, G2531 wie G2532 auch G2257 unser G2962 Herr G2424 Jesus G5547 Christus G3427 mir G1213 kundgetan hat.

15 G4704 Ich will G1161 mich aber G4704 befleißigen, G5209 daß ihr G2532 auch G1539 zu jeder Zeit G3326 nach G1699 meinem G1841 Abschiede G2192 imstande G5130 seid, euch diese Dinge G3420 ins Gedächtnis G4160 zu rufen.

16 G1063 Denn G1107 wir haben G5213 euch G1411 die Macht G2532 und G3952 Ankunft G2257 unseres G2962 Herrn G2424 Jesu G5547 Christi G3756 nicht G1107 kundgetan, G4679 indem wir künstlich erdichteten G3454 Fabeln G1811 folgten, G235 sondern G2030 als die da Augenzeugen G1565 seiner G3168 Majestät G1096 gewesen sind.

17 G1063 Denn G2983 er empfing G3844 von G2316 Gott, G3962 dem Vater, G5092 Ehre G2532 und G1391 Herrlichkeit, G5259 als von G3169 der prachtvollen G1391 Herrlichkeit G5107 eine solche G5456 Stimme G846 an ihn G5342 erging: G3778 "Dieser G2076 ist G3450 mein G27 geliebter G5207 Sohn, G1519 an G3739 welchem G1473 ich G2106 Wohlgefallen G2106 gefunden habe".

18 G2532 Und G5026 diese G5456 Stimme G191 hörten G2249 wir G1537 vom G3772 Himmel G1537 her G5342 erlassen, G4862 als wir mit G846 ihm G1722 auf G40 dem heiligen G3735 Berge G5607 waren.

19 G2532 Und G2192 so besitzen G4397 wir das prophetische G3056 Wort G949 befestigt, G3739 auf welches G4337 zu achten G2573 ihr wohl G4160 tut, G5613 als G3088 auf eine Lampe, G1722 welche an G850 einem dunklen G5117 Ort G5316 leuchtet, G2193 bis G2250 der Tag G1306 anbreche G2532 und G5459 der Morgenstern G393 aufgehe G1722 in G5216 euren G2588 Herzen;

20 G5124 indem ihr dies G4412 zuerst G1097 wisset, G3754 daß G3956 G3756 keine G4394 Weissagung G1124 der Schrift G2398 von eigener G1955 Auslegung G1096 ist.

20 G5124 Dit G4412 eerst G1097 G5723 wetende G3754 , dat G3756 G3956 geen G4394 profetie G1124 der Schrift G1096 G5736 is G2398 van eigen G1955 uitlegging;

21 G1063 Want G4394 de profetie G4218 is voortijds G3756 niet G5342 G5681 voortgebracht G2307 door de wil G444 eens mensen G235 , maar G40 de heilige G444 mensen G2316 Gods G5259 , van G40 den Heiligen G4151 Geest G5342 G5746 gedreven zijnde G2980 G5656 , hebben [ze] gesproken.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹
Siméon Pierre, esclave et apôtre de Jésus Christ, à ceux qui ont reçu en partage une foi de pareil prix avec nous, par la justice de notre Dieu et Sauveur Jésus Christ: ² Que la grâce et la paix vous soient multipliées dans la connaissance de Dieu et de Jésus notre Seigneur! ³ Comme sa divine puissance nous a donné tout ce qui regarde la vie et la piété, par la connaissance de celui qui nous a appelés par la gloire et par la vertu, ⁴ par lesquelles il nous a donné les très-grandes et précieuses promesses, afin que par elles vous participiez de la nature divine, ayant échappé à la corruption qui est dans le monde par la convoitise...; ⁵
pour cette même raison aussi, y apportant tout empressement, joignez à votre foi, la vertu; et à la vertu, la connaissance; ⁶ et à la connaissance, la tempérance; et à la tempérance, la patience; et à la patience, la piété; ⁷ et à la piété, l'affection fraternelle, et à l'affection fraternelle, l'amour; ⁸ car, si ces choses sont en vous et y abondent, elles font que vous ne serez pas oisifs ni stériles pour ce qui regarde la connaissance de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ; ⁹ car celui en qui ces choses ne se trouvent pas est aveugle, et ne voit pas loin, ayant oublié la purification de ses péchés d'autrefois. ¹⁰ C'est pourquoi, frères, étudiez-vous d'autant plus à affermir votre vocation et votre élection, car en faisant ces choses vous ne faillirez jamais; ¹¹ car ainsi l'entrée dans le royaume éternel de notre Seigneur et Sauveur Jésus Christ vous sera richement donnée. ¹²
C'est pourquoi je m'appliquerai à vous faire souvenir toujours de ces choses, quoique vous les connaissiez et que vous soyez affermis dans la vérité présente. ¹³ Mais j'estime qu'il est juste, tant que je suis dans cette tente, de vous réveiller en rappelant ces choses à votre mémoire, ¹⁴ sachant que le moment de déposer ma tente s'approche rapidement, comme aussi notre Seigneur Jésus Christ me l'a montré; ¹⁵ mais je m'étudierai à ce qu'après mon départ vous puissiez aussi en tout temps vous rappeler ces choses. ¹⁶
Car ce n'est pas en suivant des fables ingénieusement imaginées, que nous vous avons fait connaître la puissance et la venue de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ, mais comme ayant été témoins oculaires de sa majesté. ¹⁷ Car il reçut de Dieu le Père honneur et gloire, lorsqu'une telle voix lui fut adressée par la gloire magnifique: "Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai trouvé mon plaisir". ¹⁸ Et nous, nous entendîmes cette voix venue du ciel, étant avec lui sur la sainte montagne. ¹⁹
Et nous avons la parole prophétique rendue plus ferme, à laquelle vous faites bien d'être attentifs, comme à une lampe qui brille dans un lieu obscur, jusqu'à ce que le jour ait commencé à luire et que l'étoile du matin se soit levée dans vos coeurs, ²⁰ sachant ceci premièrement, qu'aucune prophétie de l'écriture ne s'interprète elle-même. ²¹ Car la prophétie n'est jamais venue par la volonté de l'homme, mais de saints hommes de Dieu ont parlé, étant poussés par l'Esprit Saint.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Siméon Pierre, serviteur et Apôtre de Jésus-Christ, à vous qui avez obtenu une foi de pareil prix avec nous, par la justice de notre Dieu et Sauveur Jésus-Christ. ² Que la grâce et la paix vous soient multipliées, en la connaissance de Dieu, et de notre Seigneur Jésus. ³ Puisque sa divine puissance nous a donné tout ce qui appartient à la vie et à la piété, par la connaissance de celui qui nous a appelés par sa gloire et par sa vertu. ⁴ Par lesquelles nous sont données les grandes et précieuses promesses, afin que par elles vous soyez faits participants de la nature divine, étant échappés de la corruption qui règne dans le monde par la convoitise; ⁵ Vous donc aussi y donnant tous vos soins ajoutez la vertu à votre foi; à la vertu, la science; ⁶ A la science, la tempérance; à la tempérance, la patience; à la patience, la piété; ⁷ A la piété, l'amour fraternel; et à l'amour fraternel, la charité. ⁸ Car si ces choses sont en vous, et y abondent, elles ne vous laisseront point oisifs ni stériles en la connaissance de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. ⁹ Mais celui en qui ces choses ne se trouvent point, est aveugle, et ne voit point de loin, ayant oublié la purification de ses anciens péchés. ¹⁰ C'est pourquoi, mes frères, étudiez vous plutôt à affermir votre vocation, et votre élection; car en faisant cela vous ne broncherez jamais. ¹¹ Car par ce moyen l'entrée au Royaume éternel de notre Seigneur et Sauveur Jésus-Christ vous sera abondamment donnée. ¹² C'est pourquoi je ne serai point paresseux à vous faire toujours souvenir de ces choses, quoique vous ayez de la connaissance, et que vous soyez fondés en la vérité présente. ¹³ Car je crois qu'il est juste que je vous réveille par des avertissements, tandis que je suis dans cette tente; ¹⁴ Sachant que dans peu de temps je dois en déloger, comme notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ lui-même me l'a déclaré. ¹⁵ Mais j'aurai soin que vous puissiez aussi après mon départ vous remettre continuellement ces choses dans votre souvenir. ¹⁶ Car nous ne vous avons point donné à connaître la puissance et la venue de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ en suivant des fables artificieusement composées, mais comme ayant vu sa majesté de nos propres yeux. ¹⁷ Car il reçut de Dieu le Père honneur et gloire, quand une telle voix lui fut adressée de la gloire magnifique; celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai pris mon bon plaisir. ¹⁸ Et nous entendîmes cette voix émanée du Ciel, étant avec lui sur la sainte montagne. ¹⁹ Nous avons aussi la parole des Prophètes plus ferme, à laquelle vous faites bien d'être attentifs, comme à une chandelle qui a éclairé dans un lieu obscur, jusqu'à ce que le jour ait commencé à luire, et que l'étoile du matin se soit levée dans vos coeurs. ²⁰ Considérant premièrement ceci, qu'aucune prophétie de l'Ecriture ne procède d'aucun mouvement particulier. ²¹ Car la prophétie n'a point été autrefois apportée par la volonté humaine, mais les saints hommes de Dieu étant poussés par le Saint-Esprit, ont parlé.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Pierre, serviteur et apôtre de Jésus-Christ, à ceux qui ont reçu en partage une foi du même prix que la nôtre, par la justice de notre Dieu et du Sauveur Jésus-Christ: ² que la grâce et la paix vous soient multipliées par la connaissance de Dieu et de Jésus notre Seigneur! ³ Comme sa divine puissance nous a donné tout ce qui contribue à la vie et à la piété, au moyen de la connaissance de celui qui nous a appelés par sa propre gloire et par sa vertu, ⁴ lesquelles nous assurent de sa part les plus grandes et les plus précieuses promesses, afin que par elles vous deveniez participants de la nature divine, en fuyant la corruption qui existe dans le monde par la convoitise, ⁵ à cause de cela même, faites tous vos efforts pour joindre à votre foi la vertu, à la vertu la science, ⁶ à la science la tempérance, à la tempérance la patience, à la patience la piété, ⁷ à la piété l'amour fraternel, à l'amour fraternel la charité. ⁸ Car si ces choses sont en vous, et y sont avec abondance, elles ne vous laisseront point oisifs ni stériles pour la connaissance de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ. ⁹ Mais celui en qui ces choses ne sont point est aveugle, il ne voit pas de loin, et il a mis en oubli la purification de ses anciens péchés. ¹⁰ C'est pourquoi, frères, appliquez-vous d'autant plus à affermir votre vocation et votre élection; car, en faisant cela, vous ne broncherez jamais. ¹¹ C'est ainsi, en effet, que l'entrée dans le royaume éternel de notre Seigneur et Sauveur Jésus-Christ vous sera pleinement accordée. ¹² Voilà pourquoi je prendrai soin de vous rappeler ces choses, bien que vous les sachiez et que vous soyez affermis dans la vérité présente. ¹³ Et je regarde comme un devoir, aussi longtemps que je suis dans cette tente, de vous tenir en éveil par des avertissements, ¹⁴ car je sais que je la quitterai subitement, ainsi que notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ me l'a fait connaître. ¹⁵ Mais j'aurai soin qu'après mon départ vous puissiez toujours vous souvenir de ces choses. ¹⁶ Ce n'est pas, en effet, en suivant des fables habilement conçues, que nous vous avons fait connaître la puissance et l'avènement de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, mais c'est comme ayant vu sa majesté de nos propres yeux. ¹⁷ Car il a reçu de Dieu le Père honneur et gloire, quand la gloire magnifique lui fit entendre une voix qui disait: Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai mis toute mon affection. ¹⁸ Et nous avons entendu cette voix venant du ciel, lorsque nous étions avec lui sur la sainte montagne. ¹⁹ Et nous tenons pour d'autant plus certaine la parole prophétique, à laquelle vous faites bien de prêter attention, comme à une lampe qui brille dans un lieu obscur, jusqu'à ce que le jour vienne à paraître et que l'étoile du matin se lève dans vos coeurs; ²⁰ sachant tout d'abord vous-mêmes qu'aucune prophétie de l'Ecriture ne peut être un objet d'interprétation particulière, ²¹ car ce n'est pas par une volonté d'homme qu'une prophétie a jamais été apportée, mais c'est poussés par le Saint-Esprit que des hommes ont parlé de la part de Dieu.

1 G4826 ¶ Simon G4074 Pierre G1401 , serviteur G2532 et G652 apôtre G2424 de Jésus G5547 -Christ G2975 , à ceux qui ont reçu en partage G5631 G4102 une foi G2472 du même prix G2254 que la nôtre G1722 , par G1343 la justice G2257 de notre G2316 Dieu G2532 et G4990 du Sauveur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ:

2 G5485 que la grâce G2532 et G1515 la paix G5213 vous G4129 soient multipliées G5684 G1722 par G1922 la connaissance G2316 de Dieu G2532 et G2424 de Jésus G2257 notre G2962 Seigneur !

3 G5613 Comme G846 sa G2304 divine G1411 puissance G2254 nous G1433 a donné G5772 G3956 tout G4314 ce qui contribue G2222 à la vie G2532 et G2150 à la piété G1223 , au moyen G1922 de la connaissance G2248 de celui qui nous G2564 a appelés G5660 G1223 par G1391 sa propre gloire G2532 et G703 par sa vertu,

4 G1223 lesquelles G3739 G2254 nous G1433 assurent G5769 G3176 de sa part les plus grandes G2532 et G5093 les plus précieuses G1862 promesses G2443 , afin G1223 que par G5130 elles G1096 vous deveniez G5638 G2844 participants G5449 de la nature G2304 divine G668 , en fuyant G5631 G5356 la corruption G1722 qui existe dans G2889 le monde G1722 par G1939 la convoitise,

5 G2532 ¶ G1161 G5124 à cause de cela G846 même G3923 , faites G5660 G3956 tous G4710 vos efforts G2023 pour joindre G5657 G1722 à G5216 votre G4102 foi G703 la vertu G1161 , G1722 à G703 la vertu G1108 la science,

6 G1161 G1722 à G1108 la science G1466 la tempérance G1161 , G1722 à G1466 la tempérance G5281 la patience G1161 , G1722 à G5281 la patience G2150 la piété,

7 G1161 G1722 à G2150 la piété G5360 l’amour fraternel G1161 , G1722 à G5360 l’amour fraternel G26 la charité.

8 G1063 Car G5023 si ces choses G5225 sont G5723 G5213 en vous G2532 , et G4121 y sont avec abondance G5723 G2525 , elles ne vous laisseront G5719 G3756 point G692 oisifs G3761 ni G175 stériles G1519 pour G1922 la connaissance G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ.

9 G1063 Mais G3739 celui en qui G5023 ces choses G3361 ne sont point G3918 G5748 G2076 est G5748 G5185 aveugle G3467 , il ne voit pas de loin G5723 G3024 , et il a mis en oubli G2983 G5631 G2512 la purification G846 de ses G3819 anciens G266 péchés.

10 G1352 C’est pourquoi G80 , frères G4704 , appliquez-vous G5657 G3123 d’autant plus G4160 à affermir G5733 G949 G5216 votre G2821 vocation G2532 et G1589 votre élection G1063 ; car G4160 , en faisant G5723 G5023 cela G4218 , vous ne broncherez G4417 G5661 G3364 jamais.

11 G3779 C’est ainsi G1063 , en effet G1529 , que l’entrée G1519 dans G932 le royaume G166 éternel G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2532 et G4990 Sauveur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G5213 vous G4146 sera pleinement G2023 accordée G5701 .

12 G1352 ¶ Voilà pourquoi G272 je prendrai soin G5692 G3756 G5209 de vous G5279 rappeler G5721 G104 G4012 G5130 ces choses G2539 , bien que G1492 vous les sachiez G5761 G2532 et G4741 que vous soyez affermis G5772 G1722 dans G225 la vérité G3918 présente G5752 .

13 G1161 Et G2233 je regarde G5736 G1342 comme un devoir G1909 , aussi longtemps que G3745 G1510 je suis G5748 G1722 dans G5129 cette G4638 tente G5209 , de vous G1326 tenir en éveil G5721 G1722 par G5280 des avertissements,

14 G1492 car je sais G5761 G3754 que G3450 je la G4638 G2076 quitterai G5748 G595 G5031 subitement G2532 , ainsi G2531 G2257 que notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G3427 me G1213 l’a fait connaître G5656 .

15 G1161 Mais G2532 G4704 j’aurai soin G5692 G3326 qu’après G1699 mon G1841 départ G5209 vous G2192 puissiez G5721 G4160 G5733 G1539 toujours G3420 vous souvenir G5130 de ces choses.

16 G1063 ¶ G3756 Ce n’est pas G1811 , en effet, en suivant G5660 G3454 des fables G4679 habilement conçues G5772 G5213 , que nous vous G1107 avons fait connaître G5656 G1411 la puissance G2532 et G3952 l’avènement G2257 de notre G2962 Seigneur G2424 Jésus G5547 -Christ G235 , mais G1096 c’est comme ayant G5679 G2030 vu G0 G1565 sa G3168 majesté G2030 de nos propres yeux.

17 G1063 Car G2983 il a reçu G5631 G3844 de G2316 Dieu G3962 le Père G5092 honneur G2532 et G1391 gloire G5259 , G1391 quand la gloire G3169 magnifique G846 lui G5342 fit entendre G5685 G5107 G5456 une voix G3778 qui disait : Celui-ci G2076 est G5748 G3450 mon G5207 Fils G27 bien-aimé G1519 , en G3739 qui G1473 j G2106 ’ai mis toute mon affection G5656 .

18 G2532 Et G2249 nous G191 avons entendu G5656 G5026 cette G5456 voix G5342 venant G5685 G1537 du G3772 ciel G5607 , lorsque nous étions G5752 G4862 avec G846 lui G1722 sur G40 la sainte G3735 montagne.

19 G2532 ¶ Et G2192 nous tenons G5719 G949 pour d’autant plus certaine G3056 la parole G4397 prophétique G3739 , à laquelle G4160 vous faites G5719 G2573 bien G4337 de prêter attention G5723 G5613 , comme G3088 à une lampe G5316 qui brille G5730 G1722 dans G5117 un lieu G850 obscur G2193 , jusqu’à G2250 ce que le jour G1306 vienne à paraître G5661 G2532 et G5459 que l’étoile du matin G393 se lève G5661 G1722 dans G5216 vos G2588 cœurs ;

20 G1097 sachant G5723 G5124 G4412 tout d’abord G3754 vous-mêmes qu G3756 ’aucune G3956 G4394 prophétie G1124 de l’Ecriture G1096 ne peut être G5736 G1955 un objet d’interprétation G2398 particulière,

21 G1063 car G3756 ce n’est pas G2307 par une volonté G444 d’homme G4394 qu’une prophétie G4218 a jamais G5342 été apportée G5681 G235 , mais G5342 c’est poussés G5746 G5259 par G40 le Saint G4151 -Esprit G444 que des hommes G2980 ont parlé G5656 G2316 de la part de Dieu.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Симон Петр, раб и Апостол Иисуса Христа, принявшим снами равно драгоценную веру по правде Бога нашего и Спасителя Иисуса Христа: ² благодать и мир вам да умножится в познании Бога и Христа Иисуса, Господа нашего. ³ Как от Божественной силы Его даровано нам все потребное для жизни и благочестия, через познание Призвавшего нас славою и благостию, ⁴ которыми дарованы нам великие и драгоценные обетования, дабы вы через них соделались причастниками Божеского естества, удалившись от господствующего в мире растления похотью: ⁵ то вы, прилагая к сему все старание, покажите в вере вашей добродетель, в добродетели рассудительность, ⁶ в рассудительности воздержание, в воздержании терпение, в терпенииблагочестие, ⁷ в благочестии братолюбие, в братолюбии любовь. ⁸ Если это в вас есть и умножается, то вы не останетесь без успеха и плода в познании Господа нашегоИисуса Христа. ⁹ А в ком нет сего, тот слеп, закрыл глаза, забыл об очищении прежних грехов своих. ¹⁰ Посему, братия, более и более старайтесьделать твердым ваше звание и избрание; так поступая, никогда не преткнетесь, ¹¹ ибо так откроется вам свободный вход в вечное Царство Господа нашего и Спасителя Иисуса Христа. ¹² Для того я никогда не перестану напоминать вам о сем, хотя вы то и знаете, и утверждены в настоящей истине. ¹³ Справедливым же почитаю, доколе нахожусь в этой телесной храмине, возбуждать вас напоминанием, ¹⁴ зная, что скоро должен оставить храмину мою, как и Господь наш Иисус Христос открыл мне. ¹⁵ Буду же стараться, чтобы вы и после моего отшествия всегда приводили это на память. ¹⁶ Ибо мы возвестили вам силу и пришествие Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, не хитросплетенным басням последуя, но быв очевидцами Его величия. ¹⁷ Ибо Он принял от Бога Отца честь и славу, когда от велелепной славы принесся к Нему такой глас: Сей есть Сын Мой возлюбленный, в Котором Мое благоволение. ¹⁸ И этот глас, принесшийся с небес, мы слышали, будучи с Ним на святой горе. ¹⁹ И притом мы имеем вернейшее пророческое слово; и вы хорошо делаете, что обращаетесь к нему, как к светильнику, сияющему в темномместе, доколе не начнет рассветать день и не взойдет утренняя звезда в сердцах ваших, ²⁰ зная прежде всего то, что никакого пророчества в Писании нельзя разрешить самому собою. ²¹ Ибо никогда пророчество не было произносимо по воле человеческой, но изрекали его святые Божии человеки, будучи движимы Духом Святым.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ سمعان بطرس عبد يسوع المسيح ورسوله الى الذين نالوا معنا ايمانا ثمينا مساويا لنا ببر الهنا والمخلص يسوع المسيح. ² لتكثر لكم النعمة والسلام بمعرفة الله ويسوع ربنا ³ كما ان قدرته الالهية قد وهبت لنا كل ما هو للحياة والتقوى بمعرفة الذي دعانا بالمجد والفضيلة ⁴ اللذين بهما قد وهب لنا المواعيد العظمى والثمينة لكي تصيروا بها شركاء الطبيعة الالهية هاربين من الفساد الذي في العالم بالشهوة. ⁵ ولهذا عينه وانتم باذلون كل اجتهاد قدموا في ايمانكم فضيلة وفي الفضيلة معرفة ⁶ وفي المعرفة تعففا وفي التعفف صبرا وفي الصبر تقوى ⁷ وفي التقوى مودة اخوية وفي المودة الاخوية محبة. ⁸ لان هذه اذا كانت فيكم وكثرت تصيّركم لا متكاسلين ولا غير مثمرين لمعرفة ربنا يسوع المسيح. ⁹ لان الذي ليس عنده هذه هو اعمى قصير البصر قد نسي تطهير خطاياه السالفة. ¹⁰ لذلك بالاكثر اجتهدوا ايها الاخوة ان تجعلوا دعوتكم واختياركم ثابتين. لانكم اذا فعلتم ذلك لن تزلّوا ابدا. ¹¹ لانه هكذا يقدم لكم بسعة دخول الى ملكوت ربنا ومخلّصنا يسوع المسيح الابدي ¹² لذلك لا اهمل ان اذكّركم دائما بهذه الامور وان كنتم عالمين ومثبتين في الحق الحاضر. ¹³ ولكني احسبه حقا ما دمت في هذا المسكن ان انهضكم بالتذكرة ¹⁴ عالما ان خلع مسكني قريب كما اعلن لي ربنا يسوع المسيح ايضا. ¹⁵ فأجتهد ايضا ان تكونوا بعد خروجي تتذكرون كل حين بهذه الامور. ¹⁶ لاننا لم نتبع خرافات مصنعة اذ عرّفناكم بقوة ربنا يسوع المسيح ومجيئه بل قد كنا معاينين عظمته. ¹⁷ لانه اخذ من الله الآب كرامة ومجدا اذ اقبل عليه صوت كهذا من المجد الاسنى هذا هو ابني الحبيب الذي انا سررت به. ¹⁸ ونحن سمعنا هذا الصوت مقبلا من السماء اذ كنا معه في الجبل المقدس. ¹⁹ وعندنا الكلمة النبوية وهي اثبت التي تفعلون حسنا ان انتبهتم اليها كما الى سراج منير في موضع مظلم الى ان ينفجر النهار ويطلع كوكب الصبح في قلوبكم ²⁰ عالمين هذا اولا ان كل نبوة الكتاب ليست من تفسير خاص. ²¹ لانه لم تأت نبوة قط بمشيئة انسان بل تكلم اناس الله القديسون مسوقين من الروح القدس

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Симон Петър, слуга и апостол на Иисус Христос, до онези, които чрез правдата на нашия Бог и Спасител Иисус Христос са получили еднаква с нас скъпоценна вяра: ² Благодат и мир да ви се умножи в познаването на Бога и на Иисус, нашия Господ! ³ Понеже Неговата божествена сила ни е подарила всичко потребно за живота и за благочестието чрез познаването на Този, който ни е призовал чрез Своята слава и съвършенство, ⁴ чрез които ни се подариха най-големи и скъпоценни обещания, за да станете чрез тях участници на божественото естество, като сте избягали от произлязлата от страстите поквара в света — ⁵ точно затова, като положите всяко старание, прибавете на вярата си добродетел, на добродетелта – познание, ⁶ на познанието – себеобуздание, на себеобузданието – търпение, на търпението – благочестие, ⁷ на благочестието – братолюбие и на братолюбието – любов. ⁸ Защото, ако тези добродетели се намират у вас и се умножават, те ви правят да не сте безделни, нито безплодни в познаването на нашия Господ Иисус Христос. ⁹ Защото онзи, у когото те не се намират, е сляп, късоглед и е забравил, че е бил очистен от старите си грехове. ¹⁰ Затова, братя, постарайте се още повече да затвърдявате вашето призвание и избиране, защото, като вършите тези неща, никога няма да се спънете. ¹¹ Понеже така изобилно ще ви се даде достъп във вечното царство на нашия Господ и Спасител Иисус Христос. ¹² Затова винаги ще бъда готов да ви напомням за тези работи, ако и да ги знаете и да сте утвърдени в истината, която сега имате пред вас. ¹³ Мисля, че е правилно, докато съм в тази телесна хижа, да ви подтиквам чрез напомняне, ¹⁴ понеже зная, че скоро ще напусна хижата си, както и ми извести нашият Господ Иисус Христос. ¹⁵ Даже ще се постарая, така че вие и след смъртта ми да можете винаги да си припомняте тези работи. ¹⁶ Защото, когато ви обявихме силата и пришествието на нашия Господ Иисус Христос, ние не следвахме хитро измислени басни, а бяхме очевидци на Неговото величие. ¹⁷ Защото Той прие от Бог Отец почест и слава, когато от великолепната Слава дойде до Него такъв глас: „Този е Моят възлюбен Син, в когото благоволих.“ ¹⁸ И ние чухме този глас да идва от небето, когато бяхме с Него на святата планина. ¹⁹ И така, ние държим пророческото слово още по-твърдо и вие добре правите, че внимавате на него като на светило, което свети в тъмно място, докато се зазори и зорницата изгрее в сърцата ви. ²⁰ И това да знаете преди всичко, че никое пророчество в Писанието не става от собствено разяснение, ²¹ защото никога не е идвало пророчество по волята на човека, а (светите) Божии хора са говорили, движени от Светия Дух.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Šimun Petar, sluga i apostol Isusa Krista, onima koje pravednošću Boga našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista zapade ista dragocjena vjera kao i nas. ² Punina vam milosti i mira po spoznaji Boga i Isusa, Gospodina našega! ³ Doista, po spoznaji njega, koji nas pozva slavom svojom i krepošću, božanska nas je snaga njegova obdarila svime za život i pobožnost. ⁴ Time smo obdareni dragocjenim, najvećim obećanjima da po njima postanete zajedničari božanske naravi umakavši pokvarenosti koja je u svijetu zbog požude. ⁵ Zbog toga svim marom prionite: vjerom osigurajte krepost, krepošću spoznaje, ⁶ spoznanjem uzdržljivost, uzdržljivošću postojanost, postojanošću pobožnost, ⁷ pobožnošću bratoljublje, bratoljubljem ljubav. ⁸ Jer ako to imate i u tom napredujete, nećete biti besposleni i neplodni za spoznanje Isusa Krista. ⁹ A tko toga nema, slijep je, kratkovidan; zaboravio je da je očišćen od svojih prijašnjih grijeha. ¹⁰ Zato, braćo, to revnije uznastojte učvrstiti svoj poziv i izabranje: to čineći - ne, nećete posrnuti nikada! ¹¹ Tako će vam se bogato osigurati ulazak u vječno kraljevstvo Gospodina našega i Spasitelja Isusa Krista. ¹² Zato ću vas uvijek na to podsjećati premda to znate i utvrđeni ste u primljenoj istini. ¹³ Pravo je, mislim, da vas dok sam u ovom šatoru, budim opomenom, ¹⁴ svjestan da ću brzo napustiti svoj šator, kako mi i Gospodin naš Isus Krist očitova. ¹⁵ A pobrinut ću se da se i nakon mojeg izlaska uvijek toga sjećate. ¹⁶ Ta nismo vam navijestili snagu i Dolazak Gospodina našega Isusa Krista slijedeći izmudrene priče, nego kao očevici njegova veličanstva. ¹⁷ Od Oca je doista primio čast i slavu kad mu ono od uzvišene Slave doprije ovaj glas: Ovo je Sin moj, Ljubljeni moj, u njemu mi sva milina! ¹⁸ Taj glas, koji s neba dopiraše, čusmo mi koji bijasmo s njime na Svetoj gori. ¹⁹ Tako nam je potvrđena proročka riječ te dobro činite što uza nju prianjate kao uza svjetiljku što svijetli na mrklu mjestu - dok Dan ne osvane i Danica se ne pomoli u srcima vašim. ²⁰ Ponajprije znajte ovo: nijedno se proroštvo Pisma ne može tumačiti samovoljno ²¹ jer nikada proroštvo ne bi ljudskom voljom doneseno, nego su Duhom Svetim poneseni ljudi od Boga govorili.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Šimon Petr, služebník a apoštol Ježíše Krista, těm, kteříž spolu s námi zároveň drahé dosáhli víry, pro spravedlnost Boha našeho a Spasitele Jezukrista: ² Milost vám a pokoj rozmnožen buď skrze známost Boha a Ježíše Pána našeho. ³ Jakož nám od jeho Božské moci všecko, což potřebí bylo k životu a ku zbožnosti, darováno jest, skrze známost toho, kterýž povolal nás k slávě a k ctnosti. ⁴ Odkudžto veliká nám a drahá zaslíbení dána jsou, tak abyste skrze ně Božského přirození účastníci učiněni byli, utekše porušení toho, kteréž jest na světě v žádostech zlých. ⁵ A na to pak vy všecku snažnost svou vynaložíce, prokazujte u víře své ctnost, a v ctnosti umění, ⁶ V umění pak zdrželivost, a v zdrželivosti trpělivost, v trpělivosti pak zbožnost, ⁷ V zbožnosti pak bratrstva milování, a v milování bratrstva lásku. ⁸ Ty zajisté věci když budou při vás a to rozhojněné, ne prázdné, ani neužitečné postaví vás v známosti Pána našeho Jezukrista. ⁹ Nebo při komž není těchto věcí, slepýť jest, a toho, což vzdáleno jest, nevida, zapomenuv na očištění svých starých hříchů. ¹⁰ Protož, bratří, raději snažte se pevné povolání své i vyvolení učiniti; nebo to činíce, nepadnete nikdy. ¹¹ Takť zajisté hojné způsobeno vám bude vjití k věčnému království Pána našeho a Spasitele Jezukrista. ¹² Protož nezanedbámť vždycky vám připomínati těch věcí, ačkoli umělí i utvrzení jste v přítomné pravdě. ¹³ Neboť to mám za spravedlivé, dokudž jsem v tomto stánku, abych vás probuzoval napomínáním, ¹⁴ Věda, že brzké jest složení stánku mého, jakož mi i Pán náš Ježíš Kristus oznámil. ¹⁵ Přičinímť se i o to, abyste vy po odchodu mém často se na ty věci rozpomínati mohli. ¹⁶ Nebo ne nějakých vtipně složených básní následujíce, známu učinili jsme vám Pána našeho Jezukrista moc a příchod, ale jakožto ti, kteříž jsme očima svýma viděli jeho velebnost. ¹⁷ Přijalť jest zajisté od Boha Otce čest a slávu, když se stal k němu hlas takový od velebné slávy: Tentoť jest ten můj milý Syn, v němž mi se zalíbilo. ¹⁸ A ten hlas my jsme slyšeli s nebe pošlý, s ním byvše na oné hoře svaté. ¹⁹ A mámeť přepevnou řeč prorockou, kteréžto že šetříte jako svíce, jenž svítí v temném místě, dobře činíte, až by se den rozednil a dennice vzešla v srdcích vašich, ²⁰ Toto nejprve znajíce, že žádného proroctví Písma svatého výklad nezáleží na rozumu lidském. ²¹ Nebo nikdy z lidské vůle nepošlo proroctví, ale Duchem svatým puzeni jsouce, mluvili svatí Boží lidé.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Peter, Jesu Christi Tjener og Apostel, til dem, der have faaet samme dyrebare Tro som vi, ved vor Guds og Frelser Jesu Christi Retfærdighed: ² Naade og Fred vorde Eder mangfoldigen i Guds og Jesu vor Herrens Erkjendelse! ³ Saasom hans guddommelige Magt har skjenket os alle Ting, som høre til Liv og Gudfrygtighed, ved hans Kundskab, som kaldte os ved sin Herlighed og Kraft, ⁴ ved hvilke de første og dyrebare Forjættelser ere os skjenkede, at I ved disse skulle blive deelagtige i den guddommelige Natur, naar i flye denne Verdens Forkrænkelighed i Lyster: ⁵ saa anvender al Flid just herpaa og beviser i Eders Tro Dyd, men i Dyden Kundskab, ⁶ men i Kundskaben Afholdenhed, min i Afholdenheden Taalmodighed, men i Taalmodigheden Gudfrygtighed, ⁷ men i Gudfrygtigheden Broderkjærlighed, men i Broderkjærligheden Kjærlighed til Alle. ⁸ Thi naar dette findes hos Eder og i Overlødighed, lader det Eder ikke blive Ørkesløse eller ufrugtbare i vor Herres Jesu Christi Erkjendelse. ⁹ Thi den, som ikke har dette, er blind, tillukker Øinene og har glemt Renselsen fra sine forrige Synder. ¹⁰ Derfor, Brødre! anvender des mere Flid at befæste Eders Kald og Udvælgelse; thi naae I gjøre dette, skulle I ikke nogensinde støde an. ¹¹ Thi saaledes skal Eder rigeligen gives indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Christi evige Rige. ¹² Derfor vil jeg ikke forsømme altid at paaminde Eder om dette, hvorvel I vide det og ere styrkede i den Sandhed, som er tilstede hos os. ¹³ Men jeg agter det ret at vække Eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Paulun, ¹⁴ da jeg veed, at mit Pauluns Aflæggelse er snart forhaanden, ligesom og vor Herre Jesus Christus har aabenbaret mig. ¹⁵ Jeg vil og gjøre min Flid, at I efter min Bortgang altid kunne have, hvad der kan kalde Eder dette i Erindring. ¹⁶ Thi vi have ikke fulgt kløgtige Falbler, da vi kundgjorde Eder vor Herres Jesu Christi Kraft og Tilkommelse, men vi vare selv Øienvidner til hans Majestæt. ¹⁷ Thi han fik Hæder og Ære af Gud Fader, idet en saadan Røst skete til ham fra den majestætiske Herlighed: denne er min Søn den elskelige, i hvem jeg haver Velbehagelighed. ¹⁸ Og vi hørte denne Røst komme fra Himmelen, der vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg. ¹⁹ Og vi have det Prophetiske Ord mere stadfæstet og I gjøre vel, naar I give Agt derpaa som paa et Lys, det skinner udi et mørkt Sted, indtil Dagen fremstraaler, og Morgenstjernen oprinder i Eders Hjerter, ²⁰ vidende dette først, at ingen Prophetie i Skriften kan udlægges af sig selv. ²¹ Thi aldrig har nogen Prophetie fremført af menneskelig Villie; men de hellige Guds Mænd talede, drevne af den Hellig Aand.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 作耶穌基督僕人和使徒的西門。彼得寫信給那因我們的神和（有古卷沒有和字）救主耶穌基督之義，與我們同得一樣寶貴信心的人。 ² 願恩惠、平安，因你們認識神和我們主耶穌，多多的加給你們。 ³ 神的神能已將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們，皆因我們認識那用自己榮耀和美德召我們的主。 ⁴ 因此，他已將又寶貴又極大的應許賜給我們，叫我們既脫離世上從情慾來的敗壞，就得與神的性情有分。 ⁵ 正因這緣故，你們要分外地殷勤；有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知識； ⁶ 有了知識，又要加上節制；有了節制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬； ⁷ 有了虔敬，又要加上愛弟兄的心；有了愛弟兄的心，又要加上愛眾人的心； ⁸ 你們若充充足足的有這幾樣，就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上不至於閒懶不結果子了。 ⁹ 人若沒有這幾樣，就是眼瞎，只看見近處的，忘了他舊日的罪已經得了潔淨。 ¹⁰ 所以弟兄們，應當更加殷勤，使你們所蒙的恩召和揀選堅定不移。你們若行這幾樣，就永不失腳。 ¹¹ 這樣，必叫你們豐豐富富的得以進入我們主 ─ 救主耶穌基督永遠的國。 ¹² 你們雖然曉得這些事，並且在你們已有的真道上堅固，我卻要將這些事常常提醒你們。 ¹³ 我以為應當趁我還在這帳棚的時候提醒你們，激發你們。 ¹⁴ 因為知道我脫離這帳棚的時候快到了，正如我們主耶穌基督所指示我的。 ¹⁵ 並且，我要盡心竭力，使你們在我去世以後時常紀念這些事。 ¹⁶ 我們從前將我們主耶穌基督的大能和他降臨的事告訴你們，並不是隨從乖巧捏造的虛言，乃是親眼見過他的威榮。 ¹⁷ 他從父神得尊貴榮耀的時候，從極大榮光之中有聲音出來，向他說：「這是我的愛子，我所喜悅的。」 ¹⁸ 我們同他在聖山的時候，親自聽見這聲音從天上出來。 ¹⁹ 我們並有先知更確的預言，如同燈照在暗處。你們在這預言上留意，直等到天發亮，晨星在你們心裡出現的時候，纔是好的。 ²⁰ 第一要緊的，該知道經上所有的預言沒有可隨私意解說的； ²¹ 因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，乃是人被聖靈感動，說出神的話來。

2 G5485 願恩惠 G1515 、平安 G1722 ，因 G1922 你們認識 G2316 神 G2532 和 G2257 我們 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G4129 ，多多的 G5213 加給你們。

3 G2316 神 G2304 的神 G1411 能 G3956 已將一切 G4314 關乎 G2222 生命 G2532 和 G2150 虔敬 G1433 的事賜給 G2254 我們 G1223 ，皆因 G1922 我們認識 G1223 那用 G1391 自己榮耀 G2532 和 G703 美德 G2564 召 G2248 我們的主。

4 G1223 因 G3739 此 G5093 ，他已將又寶貴 G2532 又 G3176 極大 G1862 的應許 G1433 賜給 G2254 我們 G2443 ，叫 G668 我們既脫離 G2889 世 G1722 上 G1939 從情慾 G1722 來 G5356 的敗壞 G1096 ，就得 G2304 與神的 G5449 性情 G2844 有分。

5 G5124 正因這 G846 緣故，你們 G3923 要分外地 G4710 殷勤 G4102 ；有了信心 G2023 ，又要加上 G703 德行 G703 ；有了德行 G1108 ，又要加上知識；

6 G1108 有了知識 G1466 ，又要加上節制 G1466 ；有了節制 G5281 ，又要加上忍耐 G5281 ；有了忍耐 G2150 ，又要加上虔敬；

7 G2150 有了虔敬 G5360 ，又要加上愛弟兄的心 G5360 ；有了愛弟兄的心 G1722 ，又要加上 G26 愛眾人的心；

8 G5213 你們 G1063 若 G4121 充充足足的 G5225 有 G5023 這幾樣 G2525 ，就必使 G1922 你們在認識 G2257 我們的 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G1519 上 G3756 不至於 G692 閒懶 G175 不結果子了。

9 G1063 人若 G3361 沒 G3918 有 G5023 這幾樣 G2076 ，就是 G5185 眼瞎 G3467 ，只看見近處的 G3024 ，忘了 G846 他 G3819 舊日的 G266 罪 G2983 已經得了 G2512 潔淨。

10 G1352 所以 G80 弟兄們 G3123 ，應當更加 G4704 殷勤 G4160 ，使 G5216 你們 G2821 所蒙的恩召 G2532 和 G1589 揀選 G949 堅定不移 G1063 。你們若 G4160 行 G5023 這幾樣 G3364 G4218 ，就永不 G4417 失腳。

11 G3779 這樣 G5213 ，必叫你們 G4146 豐豐富富的 G1529 得以進入 G2257 我們 G2962 主 G4990 ─救主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G166 永遠的 G932 國。

12 G2539 你們雖然 G1492 曉得 G2532 這些事，並且 G3918 在你們已有的 G225 真道 G1722 上 G4741 堅固 G4012 ，我卻要將 G5130 這些事 G104 常常 G5279 提醒 G5209 你們。

13 G2233 我以為 G1342 應當趁 G1510 我還在 G5129 這 G4638 帳棚 G5280 的時候提醒 G1326 你們，激發 G5209 你們。

14 G3754 因為 G1492 知道 G3450 我 G595 脫離 G4638 這帳棚 G5031 的時候快到了 G2532 ，正 G2531 如 G2257 我們 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G1213 所指示 G3427 我的。

15 G1161 G2532 並且 G4704 ，我要盡心竭力 G4160 ，使 G5209 你們 G1699 在我 G1841 去世 G3326 以後 G1539 時常 G3420 紀念 G5130 這些事。

16 G2257 我們從前將我們 G2962 主 G2424 耶穌 G5547 基督 G1411 的大能 G2532 和 G3952 他降臨 G1107 的事告訴 G5213 你們 G3756 ，並不是 G1811 隨從 G4679 乖巧捏造的 G3454 虛言 G235 ，乃 G1096 是 G2030 親眼見過 G1565 他的 G3168 威榮。

17 G3844 他從 G3962 父 G2316 神 G2983 得 G5092 尊貴 G1391 榮耀 G3169 的時候，從極大 G1391 榮光 G5259 之中 G5456 有聲音 G5342 出來 G846 ，向他 G3778 說：「這 G2076 是 G3450 我的 G27 愛 G5207 子 G1473 ，我 G2106 所喜悅的。」

18 G2249 我們 G4862 同 G846 他 G1722 在 G40 聖 G3735 山 G191 的時候，親自聽見 G5026 這 G5456 聲音 G1537 從 G3772 天上 G5342 出來。

19 G2532 我們並 G2192 有 G949 先知更確的 G4397 G3056 預言 G5613 ，如同 G3088 燈 G5316 照 G1722 在 G850 暗 G5117 處 G3739 。你們在這 G4337 預言上留意 G2193 G3739 ，直等到 G2250 G1306 天發亮 G5459 ，晨星 G5216 在你們 G2588 心 G1722 裡 G393 出現 G4160 的時候，纔是 G2573 好的。

20 G4412 第一 G1097 要緊的，該知道 G1124 經上 G4394 所有的預言 G3756 G3956 沒有 G1096 可 G2398 隨私意 G1955 解說的；

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Petro, servisto kaj apostolo de Jesuo Kristo, al tiuj, kiuj ricevis egale altvaloran fidon, kiel ni, en la justeco de nia Dio kaj Savanto Jesuo Kristo: ² Graco al vi kaj paco pligrandigxu en sciado pri Dio, kaj pri Jesuo, nia Sinjoro; ³ pro tio, ke lia Dia povo donacis al ni cxion rilatantan al vivo kaj pieco, per la scio de tiu, kiu nin vokis per sia propra gloro kaj virto; ⁴ per kiuj li donacis al ni la promesojn karegajn kaj tre grandajn; por ke per ili vi farigxu partoprenantoj en Dia naturo, forsavigxinte el la putreco, kiu estas en la mondo per voluptemo. ⁵ Kaj pro tiu sama kauxzo viaflanke aplikante cxian diligentecon, en via fido aldonu virton; kaj en virto scion; ⁶ kaj en scio sinregadon; kaj en sinregado paciencon; kaj en pacienco piecon; ⁷ kaj en pieco fratamikecon, kaj en fratamikeco amon. ⁸ CXar tiuj ecoj, se cxe vi ili trovigxas kaj abundas, faras vin nek mallaboremaj nek senfruktaj en la scio de nia Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo. ⁹ CXar tiu, al kiu mankas tiuj ecoj, estas blinda, miopa, forgesinte la forpurigon el siaj antauxaj pekoj. ¹⁰ Sekve, fratoj, pli diligente klopodu, por certigi vian vokon kaj elekton; cxar farante tion, vi neniam falpusxigxos; ¹¹ cxar tiel al vi estos ricxe provizita la eniro en la eternan regnon de nia Sinjoro kaj Savanto Jesuo Kristo. ¹² Pro tio mi cxiam estos preta rememorigi vin pri tiuj aferoj, kvankam vi ilin scias kaj estas fortigitaj en la cxeestanta vero. ¹³ Kaj mi opinias konvena, dum mi estas en cxi tiu tabernaklo, vigligi vin per rememorigo; ¹⁴ sciante, ke baldaux estos la demeto de mia tabernaklo, gxuste kiel nia Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo montris al mi. ¹⁵ Kaj mi diligente penos, ke post mia foriro vi povu konstante rememori tion. ¹⁶ CXar ne sekvinte fabelojn sofismajn, ni konigis al vi la potencon kaj alvenon de nia Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo, sed vidinte per propraj okuloj lian majeston. ¹⁷ CXar li ricevis de Dio, la Patro, honoron kaj gloron, kiam al li tia vocxo estis alportita el la brilega gloro:CXi tiu estas Mia Filo, la amata, en kiu Mi havas plezuron; ¹⁸ kaj tiun vocxon, alportitan el la cxielo, ni mem auxdis, kunestante kun li sur la sankta monto. ¹⁹ Kaj ni havas la profetan vorton konfirmitan; kiun atentante, vi bone faras, kvazaux lampon lumantan en malhela loko, gxis ektagigxos kaj la matenstelo eklevigxos en viaj koroj; ²⁰ antaux cxio sciante, ke neniu profetajxo de la Skribo enhavas en si sian propran klarigon. ²¹ CXar neniam profetajxo estas alportita per homa volo; sed homoj, movataj de la Sankta Spirito, parolis laux Dio.

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Siimon Peetrus, Jeesuse Kristuse sulane ja apostel, neile, kes on saanud niisama kalli usu kui meiegi meie Jumala ja Õnnistegija Jeesuse Kristuse õiguses. ² Armu ja rahu lisatagu teile rohkesti Jumala ja Jeesuse, meie Issanda tunnetuses! ³ Nõnda nagu Tema jumalik vägi meile on annetanud kõik, mida vajatakse eluks ja jumalakartuseks, Tema tunnetuse kaudu, Kes meid on kutsunud Oma au ja vooruslikkusega, ⁴ millega on meile kingitud kallid ja suurimad tõotused, et te nende läbi saaksite osa jumalikust loomust, kui te olete põgenenud ära hukkumisest, mis on maailmas himude tõttu; ⁵ siis kandke sellesama pärast kõikepidi hoolt ja osutage oma usus vooruslikkust ja vooruslikkuses tunnetust, ⁶ tunnetuses taltumust, taltumuses kannatlikkust, kannatlikkuses jumalakartust, ⁷ jumalakartuses vennaarmastust ja vennaarmastuses armastust kõikide vastu. ⁸ Sest kui teil seda kõike on ja veel lisatakse, siis ei lase see teid olla viitsimatud ja viljatud meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse tunnetamises. ⁹ Aga kellel see kõik puudub, on pime, lühinägelik, ja on unustanud puhastuse endistest pattudest. ¹⁰ Sellepärast, vennad, püüdke seda enam teha kindlaks oma kutsumine ja valik; sest kui te seda teete, siis te ei komista iialgi. ¹¹ Sest nõnda avaneb teile rohkel mõõdul sissepääs meie Issanda ja Õnnistegija Jeesuse Kristuse igavesse Kuningriiki. ¹² Sellepärast ma tahan alati teile seda meelde tuletada, ehk te küll seda teate ja olete kindlasti rajatud tõele, mis teil on käes. ¹³ Ma pean õigeks, niikaua kui ma selles ihulikus telgis olen, teid meeldetuletuse kaudu virgutada, ¹⁴ sest et ma tean, et ma varsti maha panen oma telgi, nagu ka meie Issand Jeesus Kristus mulle on avaldanud. ¹⁵ Ent ma tahan ka hoolt kanda, et teil pärast minu lahkumist alati oleks võimalik seda meelde tuletada. ¹⁶ Sest me ei ole Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse väge ja tulemist teile teatavaks tehes mitte järginud kavalasti sepitsetud tühje jutte, vaid me oleme ise oma silmaga näinud Tema suurt aulisust. ¹⁷ Sest Tema sai Jumalalt Isalt au ja austust kõige kõrgemalt ault, kui Temale kostis niisugune hääl: "See on Minu armas Poeg, Kellest Mul on hea meel!" ¹⁸ Ja selle hääle me kuulsime taevast tulevat, olles ühes Temaga pühal mäel. ¹⁹ Ja meil on veel kindlam prohvetlik sõna, ja te teete hästi, et te seda tähele panete kui küünalt, mis paistab pimedas paigas, kuni päev jõuab kätte ning koidutäht tõuseb teie südameis. ²⁰ Ja see olgu teile kõigepealt teada, et ükski prohvetikuulutus Kirjas ei ole omavolilise seletuse jaoks. ²¹ Sest inimese tahtel ei ole iialgi ühtki prohveti kuulutust esile toodud, vaid Pühast Vaimust kantuina on inimesed rääkinud, saades seda Jumala käest.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Pietari, Jesuksen Kristuksen palvelia ja apostoli, niille, jotka ovat saaneet meidän kanssamme yhdenkaltaisen kalliin uskon vanhurskaudessa, jonka meidän Jumalamme ja Vapahtajamme Jesus Kristus antaa: ² Armo ja rauha lisääntyköön teille, Jumalan ja meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen tuntemisen kautta! ³ Että hänen jumalallinen voimansa meille kaikkinaiset (jotka elämään ja jumaliseen menoon sopivat) on lahjoittanut hänen tuntemisensa kautta, joka meitä kunniaan ja avuun kutsunut on, ⁴ Joidenka kautta meille ne suurimmat ja kalliit lupaukset lahjoitetut ovat, että te niiden kautta Jumalan luonnosta osalliseksi tulisitte, jos te katoovaisen maailman himon vältätte. ⁵ Niin ahkeroitkaat kaikella vireydellä teidän uskonne avua osoittamaan, ja avussa tointa, ⁶ Ja toimessa kohtuullisuutta, ja kohtuullisuudessa kärsivällisyyttä, ja kärsivällisyydessä jumalisuutta, ⁷ Ja jumalisuudessa veljellistä rakkautta, ja veljellisessä rakkaudessa yhteistä rakkautta. ⁸ Sillä koska nämät täydellisesti teissä ovat, niin ei he teitä salli löydettää joutilaina eli hedelmättöminä meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen tuntemisessa. ⁹ Mutta jolla ei näitä ole, hän on sokia, ja ei näe mitään kaukaa, ja on unohtanut itsensä olleen puhdistetun entisistä synneistänsä. ¹⁰ Sentähden, rakkaat veljet, ahkeroitkaat paremmin sitä, että te teidän kutsumisenne ja valitsemisenne vahvistaisitte; sillä jos te sen teette, niin ette suinkaan koskaan kompastu. ¹¹ Sillä teidän sallitaan alttiisti käydä sisälle meidän Herran ja Vapahtajan Jesuksen Kristuksen ijankaikkiseen valtakuntaan. ¹² Sentähden en minä tahdo unohtaa teille aina näistä muistuttaa, vaikka te tiedätte ja vahvistetut olette tässä nykyisessä totuudessa. ¹³ Sillä minä arvaan sen kohtuulliseksi, niinkauvan kuin minä tässä majassa olen, herättää teitä ja muistuttaa teille; ¹⁴ Sillä minä tiedän, että minun pitää pian tämän minun majani paneman pois, niinkuin meidän Herra Jesus Kristus minulle ilmoitti. ¹⁵ Mutta minä tahdon myös aina ahkeroida, että te nämät minun lähtemiseni jälkeen muistossa pidätte. ¹⁶ Sillä emmepä me ole kavaloita juttuja noudatelleet, teille tiettäväksi tehdessämme meidän Herran Jesuksen Kristuksen voimaa ja tulemista; vaan me olemme itse nähneet hänen suuren kunniansa, ¹⁷ Kuin hän Isältä Jumalalta sai kunnian ja ylistyksen, äänen kautta, joka hänelle näin siltä suurelta kunnialta tapahtui: tämä on minun rakas Poikani, johon minä mielistyin. ¹⁸ Ja tämän äänen me kuulimme tulevan taivaasta, kuin me pyhällä vuorella hänen kanssansa olimme. ¹⁹ Ja meillä on vahva prophetallinen sana, ja te teette hyvin, että te siitä vaarin otatte niinkuin kynttilästä, joka pimeässä valistaa, niinkauvan kuin päivä valkenee ja kointähti koittaa teidän sydämissänne. ²⁰ Ja se tulee teidän ensin tietää, ettei yksikään prophetia Raamatussa tapahdu omasta selityksestä. ²¹ Sillä ei yksikään prophetia ole vielä ihmisen tahdosta tuotu edes; vaan pyhät Jumalan ihmiset ovat puhuneet, vaikutetut Pyhältä Hengeltä.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simeon Pietari, Jeesuksen Kristuksen palvelija ja apostoli, niille, jotka ovat saaneet yhtä kalliin uskon kuin mekin meidän Jumalamme ja Vapahtajan Jeesuksen Kristuksen vanhurskaudessa. ² Armo ja rauha lisääntyköön teille Jumalan ja meidän Herramme Jeesuksen tuntemisen kautta. ³ Koska hänen jumalallinen voimansa on lahjoittanut meille kaiken, mikä elämään ja jumalisuuteen tarvitaan, hänen tuntemisensa kautta, joka on kutsunut meidät kirkkaudellaan ja täydellisyydellään, ⁴ joiden kautta hän on lahjoittanut meille kalliit ja mitä suurimmat lupaukset, että te niiden kautta tulisitte jumalallisesta luonnosta osallisiksi ja pelastuisitte siitä turmeluksesta, joka maailmassa himojen tähden vallitsee, ⁵ niin pyrkikää juuri sentähden kaikella ahkeruudella osoittamaan uskossanne avuja, avuissa ymmärtäväisyyttä, ⁶ ymmärtäväisyydessä itsenne hillitsemistä, itsenne hillitsemisessä kärsivällisyyttä, kärsivällisyydessä jumalisuutta, ⁷ jumalisuudessa veljellistä rakkautta, veljellisessä rakkaudessa yhteistä rakkautta. ⁸ Sillä jos teillä on nämä ja ne yhä enenevät, niin ne eivät salli teidän olla toimettomia eikä hedelmättömiä meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen tuntemisessa. ⁹ Jolla sitävastoin ei niitä ole, se on sokea, likinäköinen, on unhottanut puhdistuneensa entisistä synneistänsä. ¹⁰ Pyrkikää sentähden, veljet, sitä enemmän tekemään kutsumisenne ja valitsemisenne lujaksi; sillä jos sen teette, ette koskaan lankea; ¹¹ sillä näin teille runsain määrin tarjotaan pääsy meidän Herramme ja Vapahtajamme Jeesuksen Kristuksen iankaikkiseen valtakuntaan. ¹² Sentähden minä aina aion muistuttaa teitä tästä, vaikka sen tiedättekin ja olette vahvistetut siinä totuudessa, joka teillä on. ¹³ Ja minä katson oikeaksi, niin kauan kuin tässä majassa olen, näin muistuttamalla herättää teitä. ¹⁴ Sillä minä tiedän, että tämän majani poispaneminen tapahtuu äkisti, niinkuin myös meidän Herramme Jeesus Kristus minulle ilmoitti. ¹⁵ Mutta minä olen huolehtiva siitä, että te minun lähtöni jälkeenkin aina voisitte tämän muistaa. ¹⁶ Sillä me emme seuranneet viekkaasti sommiteltuja taruja tehdessämme teille tiettäväksi Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen voimaa ja tulemusta, vaan me olimme omin silmin nähneet hänen valtasuuruutensa. ¹⁷ Sillä hän sai Isältä Jumalalta kunnian ja kirkkauden, kun tältä ylhäisimmältä kirkkaudelta tuli hänelle tämä ääni: "Tämä on minun rakas Poikani, johon minä olen mielistynyt". ¹⁸ Ja tämän äänen me kuulimme tulevan taivaasta, kun olimme hänen kanssaan pyhällä vuorella. ¹⁹ Ja sitä lujempi on meille nyt profeetallinen sana, ja te teette hyvin, jos otatte siitä vaarin, niinkuin pimeässä paikassa loistavasta lampusta, kunnes päivä valkenee ja kointähti koittaa teidän sydämissänne. ²⁰ Ja tietäkää ennen kaikkea se, ettei yksikään Raamatun profetia ole kenenkään omin neuvoin selitettävissä; ²¹ sillä ei koskaan ole mitään profetiaa tuotu esiin ihmisen tahdosta, vaan Pyhän Hengen johtamina ihmiset ovat puhuneet sen, minkä saivat Jumalalta.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mwen menm, Simon Pyè, sèvitè ak apòt Jezikri, m'ap ekri lèt sa a pou nou menm ki resevwa yon konfyans ki gen menm valè ak pa m' lan, gremesi Jezikri, Bondye nou ak Sovè nou ki fè nou gras. ² M'ap mande Bondye pou nou resevwa anpil benediksyon ak kè poze, gremesi konesans Bondye ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, nou genyen. ³ Pouvwa Bondye a ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka sèvi li. Li fè nou konnen moun ki te rele nou an, lè li te fè nou wè pouvwa li ak bèl bagay li yo. ⁴ Se konsa, Bondye ban nou pwomès li yo ki gwo anpil, ki gen anpil valè, pou nou kapab patisipe nan sa Bondye ye a, pou nou kapab chape anba koripsyon ki nan lemonn, akòz move lanvi ki nan kè moun. ⁵ Se poutèt sa, nou dwe fè tou sa nou kapab pou nou pa rete ak konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a sèlman. Men, apa konfyans lan se pou nou gen bon kondit. Apa bon kondit la, se pou nou gen konesans. ⁶ Apa konesans la, se pou nou konn kontwole tèt nou. Apa konn kontwole tèt nou an, se pou nou gen pasyans. Apa pasyans la, se pou nou sèvi Bondye. ⁷ Apa sèvi Bondye a, se pou nou gen renmen pou frè yo. Apa renmen nou gen pou frè nou an, se pou nou gen renmen pou tout moun. ⁸ Si nou gen tout bagay sa yo nan nou, si nou devlope yo nan nou, nou p'ap rete bra kwaze. Se p'ap pou gremesi nou konnen ki moun Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ye. ⁹ Men, moun ki pa gen bagay sa yo nan yo, y'ap tankou yon avèg ki pa wè lwen, yo bliye jan Bondye te netwaye yo anba vye peche yo. ¹⁰ Se poutèt sa, frè m' yo, se pou nou fè jefò plis toujou pou nou rete fèm nan pozisyon kote Bondye mete nou an, li menm ki rele nou, ki chwazi nou. Si nou fè sa, nou p'ap janm tonbe. ¹¹ Konsa, la ban nou dwa antre lib nan peyi kote Jezikri, Seyè nou ak Sovè nou an, ap gouvènen tankou wa pou tout tan an. ¹² Se poutèt sa, nou te mèt konnen bagay sa yo deja, nou te mèt kanpe fèm nan verite nou resevwa a, mwen p'ap janm manke fè nou chonje bagay sa yo. ¹³ Wi, toutotan mwen poko mouri, mwen kwè se yon devwa pou m' fè nou chonje bagay sa yo pou dòmi pa pran nou. ¹⁴ Paske, mwen konnen mwen pa lwen mouri. Se Seyè a menm ki fè m' konn sa. ¹⁵ Men, m'ap fè tout posib mwen pou nou pa janm bliye bagay sa yo lè m' fin ale. ¹⁶ Paske, lè m' t'ap fè nou konnen jan Jezikri, Seyè nou an, te vini avèk pouvwa li, se pa t' istwa moun envante nan tèt yo mwen t'ap rakonte nou. Men, se paske mwen menm, mwen te wè Seyè a nan tout pouvwa li ak je pa mwen. ¹⁷ Mwen te la lè Bondye Papa a te ba li respè ak lwanj, lè nan mitan tout pouvwa a, vwa Bondye te pale, li di konsa: Ou se pitit mwen renmen anpil la, ou fè kè m' kontan anpil. ¹⁸ Nou te tande vwa ki te soti nan syèl la, lè nou te la ansanm avè l' sou mòn kote Bondye te pale ak nou an. ¹⁹ Se poutèt sa, mwen pran pawòl pwofèt yo pou pawòl ki sèten nèt. Nou menm tou nou byen fèt lè nou pran pawòl sa yo ak gwo konsiderasyon, tankou yon lanp k'ap klere nan fènwa a jouk jou a va pwente, jouk zetwal ki klere chak maten an va leve nan kè nou. ²⁰ Men, anvan tout bagay, se pou nou konn sa byen: pesonn pa gen dwa pran mesaj pwofèt ki ekri nan Liv la pou li ba li sans li vle. ²¹ Paske, pwofèt yo pa t' janm bay mesaj paske yo menm yo te vle. Okontrè, se Sentespri ki te pouse yo lè yo t'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Péter, Jézus Krisztus szolgája és apostola, azoknak, a kik velünk egyenlõ drága hitet nyertek a mi Istenünknek és megtartónknak Jézus Krisztusnak igazságában: ² Kegyelem és békesség adassék néktek bõségesen az Istennek és Jézusnak a mi Urunknak megismerésében. ³ Mivelhogy az õ isteni ereje mindennel megajándékozott minket, a mi az életre és kegyességre való, Annak megismerése által, a ki minket a saját dicsõségével és hatalmával elhívott; ⁴ A melyek által igen nagy és becses ígéretekkel ajándékozott meg bennünket; hogy azok által isteni természet részeseivé legyetek, kikerülvén a romlottságot, a mely a kívánságban van e világon. ⁵ Ugyanerre pedig teljes igyekezetet is fordítván, a ti hitetek mellé ragasszatok jó cselekedetet, a jó cselekedet mellé tudományt, ⁶ A tudomány mellé pedig mértékletességet, a mértékletesség mellé pedig tûrést, a tûrés mellé pedig kegyességet, ⁷ A kegyesség mellé pedig atyafiakhoz való hajlandóságot, az atyafiakhoz való hajlandóság mellé pedig szeretetet. ⁸ Mert ha ezek megvannak és gyarapodnak bennetek, nem tesznek titeket hivalkodókká, sem gyümölcstelenekké a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus megismerésére nézve. ⁹ Mert a kiben ezek nincsenek meg, az vak, rövidlátó, elfelejtkezvén a régi bûneibõl való megtisztulásáról. ¹⁰ Annakokáért, atyámfiai, igyekezzetek inkább a ti elhívatástokat és kiválasztatásotokat erõssé tenni; mert ha ezeket cselekszitek, nem ütköztök meg soha. ¹¹ Mert ekképen gazdagon adatik majd néktek a mi Urunknak és megtartónknak, a Jézus Krisztusnak örök országába való bemenetel. ¹² Annakokáért nem mulasztom el, hogy mindenkor emlékeztesselek titeket ezekre, hogy tudjátok [ezeket], és erõsek vagytok a jelenvaló igazságban. ¹³ Méltónak vélem pedig, a míg ebben a sátorban vagyok, hogy emlékeztetés által ébresztgesselek titeket; ¹⁴ Mint a ki tudom, hogy hamar leteszem sátoromat, a miképen a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus is megjelentette nékem. ¹⁵ De igyekezni fogok azon, hogy ti az én halálom után is mindenkor megemlékezhessetek ezekrõl. ¹⁶ Mert nem mesterkélt meséket követve ismertettük meg veletek a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus hatalmát és eljövetelét; hanem mint a kik szemlélõi voltunk az õ nagyságának. ¹⁷ Mert a mikor az Atya Istentõl azt a tisztességet és dicsõséget nyerte, hogy hozzá a felséges dicsõség ilyen szózata jutott: Ez az én szeretett Fiam, a kiben én gyönyörködöm: ¹⁸ Ezt az égbõl jövõ szózatot mi hallottuk, együtt lévén vele a szent hegyen. ¹⁹ És igen biztos nálunk a prófétai beszéd [is], a melyre jól teszitek, ha figyelmeztek, mint sötét helyen világító szövétnekre, míg nappal virrad, és hajnalcsillag kél fel szívetekben; ²⁰ Tudván elõször azt, hogy az írásban egy prófétai szó sem támad saját magyarázatból. ²¹ Mert sohasem ember akaratából származott a prófétai szó; hanem a Szent Lélektõl indíttatva szólottak az Istennek szent emberei.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Saudara-saudara yang sungguh-sungguh percaya seperti kami! Yesus Kristus, yaitu Allah dan Raja Penyelamat kita, memungkinkan kita percaya kepada-Nya, karena Ia melakukan yang benar. Surat ini dari Simon Petrus, seorang hamba dan rasul Yesus Kristus. ² Semoga Allah memberi berkat dan sejahtera kepadamu dengan berlimpah-limpah, sebab kalian mengenal Allah dan Yesus, Tuhan kita. ³ Allah sudah memakai kuasa ilahi-Nya untuk memberikan kepada kita segala sesuatu yang diperlukan untuk hidup beribadat. Ia melakukan ini melalui apa yang kita ketahui tentang Yesus Kristus, yang telah memanggil kita untuk menikmati kebesaran dan kebaikan-Nya. ⁴ Dengan cara itulah Allah menganugerahkan kepada kita berkat-berkat yang sangat luar biasa dan berharga yang sudah dijanjikan-Nya. Dengan berkat-berkat itu kalian dapat terlepas dari keinginan-keinginan jahat yang merusak di dunia ini, dan kalian menerima sifat ilahi. ⁵ Oleh sebab itu, berusahalah sungguh-sungguh supaya kalian tetap percaya kepada Kristus dan percayamu itu ditunjang oleh hidup yang baik. Di samping hidup yang baik, kalian perlu menjadi orang yang berpengetahuan, ⁶ dan di samping pengetahuan, kalian harus juga bisa menguasai diri. Dan selain bisa menguasai diri hendaklah kalian juga memupuk diri untuk tabah menghadapi segala sesuatu. Di samping tabah menghadapi segala sesuatu, kalian harus juga hidup menurut kemauan Allah. ⁷ Dan hidup menurut kemauan Allah harus juga dilengkapi dengan kasih sayang kepada saudara-saudara seiman. Selanjutnya hendaklah kasih sayangmu kepada saudara-saudara seiman ditambah dengan kasih terhadap semua orang. ⁸ Semuanya itu adalah sifat-sifat yang kalian perlukan. Kalau sifat-sifat itu ada padamu dengan berlimpah-limpah, kalian akan menjadi giat dan berhasil, dan mengenal Yesus Kristus Tuhan kita dengan lebih baik lagi. ⁹ Tetapi orang yang tidak mempunyai sifat-sifat itu, pandangannya picik; ia tidak bisa melihat dan ia lupa bahwa dosa-dosanya yang lampau sudah dibersihkan. ¹⁰ Sebab itu, Saudara-saudara, berusahalah lebih keras supaya panggilan Allah dan pilihan-Nya atas dirimu itu menjadi semakin teguh. Kalau kalian melakukan itu, kalian tidak akan murtad. ¹¹ Dengan demikian kalian akan diberi hak penuh untuk masuk Kerajaan yang kekal dari Tuhan dan Raja Penyelamat kita Yesus Kristus. ¹² Sebab itu, saya selalu mengingatkan kalian tentang hal tersebut, meskipun kalian sudah mengetahuinya dan percaya sekali kepada ajaran dari Allah yang telah kalian terima itu. ¹³ Selama saya masih hidup, saya merasa wajib mengingatkan kalian akan hal-hal tersebut. ¹⁴ Sebab saya tahu bahwa tidak lama lagi saya akan meninggalkan dunia ini, karena Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus sudah memberitahukannya dengan jelas kepada saya. ¹⁵ Maka saya akan berusaha supaya sesudah saya meninggal pun, kalian selalu mengingat kembali hal-hal ini. ¹⁶ Pada waktu kami memberitahukan kepadamu betapa agungnya kedatangan Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, kami tidak bergantung pada dongeng-dongeng isapan jempol manusia. Keagungan Kristus itu sudah kami lihat dengan mata kepala sendiri. ¹⁷ Kami berada di sana ketika Ia dihormati dan diagungkan oleh Allah Bapa. Pada waktu itu terdengar suara dari Yang Mahamulia, yang berkata kepada-Nya, "Inilah Anak-Ku yang Kukasihi. Ia menyenangkan hati-Ku!" ¹⁸ Kami sendiri mendengar suara itu datang dari surga ketika kami berada bersama Dia di atas gunung yang suci itu. ¹⁹ Itu sebabnya kami lebih yakin lagi akan pesan Allah yang dikabarkan oleh para nabi. Sebaiknya kalian memperhatikan pesan itu, sebab pesan itu seperti lampu yang bersinar di tempat gelap sampai fajar menyingsing, dan cahaya bintang timur bersinar di dalam hatimu. ²⁰ Terutama sekali hendaklah kalian ingat ini: Pesan Allah yang disampaikan oleh para nabi tidak boleh ditafsirkan menurut pendapat sendiri. ²¹ Sebab, tidak pernah pesan dari Allah dikabarkan hanya atas kemauan manusia.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ SIMON PIETRO, servitore ed apostolo di Gesù Cristo, a coloro che hanno ottenuta fede di pari prezzo che noi, nella giustizia dell’Iddio e Salvator nostro, Gesù Cristo; ² grazia e pace vi sia moltiplicata nella conoscenza di Dio, e di Gesù, nostro Signore. ³ SICCOME la sua potenza divina ci ha donate tutte le cose, che appartengono alla vita ed alla pietà, per la conoscenza di colui che ci ha chiamati per la sua gloria e virtù; ⁴ per le quali ci son donate le preziose e grandissime promesse; acciocchè per esse voi siate fatti partecipi della natura divina, essendo fuggiti dalla corruzione in concupiscenza, che è nel mondo; ⁵ voi ancora simigliantemente, recando a questo stesso ogni studio, sopraggiungete alla fede vostra la virtù, e alla virtù la conoscenza; ⁶ e alla conoscenza la continenza, e alla continenza la sofferenza, e alla sofferenza la pietà; ⁷ e alla pietà l’amor fraterno, e all’amor fraterno la carità. ⁸ Perciocchè, se queste cose sono ed abbondano in voi, non vi renderanno oziosi, nè sterili nella conoscenza del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo. ⁹ Poichè colui nel quale queste cose non sono, è cieco, di corta vista, avendo dimenticato il purgamento de’ suoi vecchi peccati. ¹⁰ Perciò, fratelli, vie più studiatevi di render ferma la vostra vocazione ed elezione; perciocchè, facendo queste cose, non v’intopperete giammai. ¹¹ Imperocchè così vi sarà copiosamente porta l’entrata all’eterno regno del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo. ¹² Perciò io non trascurerò di rammemorarvi del continuo queste cose; benchè siate già intendenti, e confermati nella presente verità. ¹³ Or io stimo esser cosa ragionevole, che, mentre io sono in questa tenda, io vi risvegli per ricordo; ¹⁴ sapendo che fra poco la mia tenda ha da essere posta giù; siccome ancora il Signor nostro Gesù Cristo me l’ha dichiarato. ¹⁵ Ma io mi studierò che ancora, dopo la mia partenza, abbiate il modo di rammemorarvi frequentemente queste cose. ¹⁶ Poichè non vi abbiamo data a conoscer la potenza e l’avvenimento del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo, andando dietro a favole artificiosamente composte; ma essendo stati spettatori della maestà di esso. ¹⁷ Perciocchè egli ricevette da Dio Padre onore e gloria, essendogli recata una cotal voce dalla magnifica gloria: Questi è il mio diletto Figliuolo, nel quale io ho preso il mio compiacimento. ¹⁸ E noi udimmo questa voce recata dal cielo, essendo con lui sul monte santo. ¹⁹ Noi abbiamo ancora la parola profetica più ferma, alla quale fate bene di attendere, come ad una lampana rilucente in un luogo scuro, finchè schiarisca il giorno, e che la stella mattutina sorga ne’ cuori vostri; ²⁰ sapendo questo imprima, che alcuna profezia della scrittura non è di particolare interpretazione. ²¹ Perciocchè la profezia non fu già recata per volontà umana; ma i santi uomini di Dio hanno parlato, essendo sospinti dallo Spirito Santo.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon Pietro, servitore e apostolo di Gesù Cristo, a quelli che hanno ottenuto una fede preziosa quanto la nostra nella giustizia del nostro Dio e Salvatore Gesù Cristo: ² grazia e pace vi siano moltiplicate nella conoscenza di Dio e di Gesù nostro Signore. ³ Poiché la sua potenza divina ci ha donate tutte le cose che appartengono alla vita e alla pietà mediante la conoscenza di Colui che ci ha chiamati mercé la propria gloria e virtù, ⁴ per le quali Egli ci ha largito le sue preziose e grandissime promesse onde per loro mezzo voi foste fatti partecipi della natura divina dopo esser fuggiti dalla corruzione che è nel mondo per via della concupiscenza, ⁵ voi, per questa stessa ragione, mettendo in ciò dal canto vostro ogni premura, aggiungete alla fede vostra la virtù; alla virtù la conoscenza; ⁶ alla conoscenza la continenza; alla continenza la pazienza; alla pazienza la pietà; alla pietà l’amor fraterno; ⁷ e all’amor fraterno la carità. ⁸ Perché se queste cose si trovano e abbondano in voi, non vi renderanno né oziosi né sterili nella conoscenza del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo. ⁹ Poiché colui nel quale queste cose non si trovano, è cieco, ha la vista corta avendo dimenticato il purgamento dei suoi vecchi peccati. ¹⁰ Perciò, fratelli, vie più studiatevi di render sicura la vostra vocazione ad elezione; perché, facendo queste cose, non inciamperete giammai, ¹¹ poiché così vi sarà largamente provveduta l’entrata nel regno eterno del nostro Signore e Salvatore Gesù Cristo. ¹² Perciò avrò cura di ricordarvi del continuo queste cose, benché le conosciate, e siate stabiliti nella verità che vi è stata recata. ¹³ E stimo cosa giusta finché io sono in questa tenda, di risvegliarvi ricordandovele, ¹⁴ perché so che presto dovrò lasciare questa mia tenda, come il Signor nostro Gesù Cristo me lo ha dichiarato. ¹⁵ Ma mi studierò di far sì che dopo la mia dipartenza abbiate sempre modo di ricordarvi di queste cose. ¹⁶ Poiché non è coll’andar dietro a favole artificiosamente composte che vi abbiamo fatto conoscere la potenza e la venuta del nostro Signor Gesù Cristo, ma perché siamo stati testimoni oculari della sua maestà. ¹⁷ Poiché egli ricevette da Dio Padre onore e gloria quando giunse a lui quella voce dalla magnifica gloria: Questo è il mio diletto Figliuolo, nel quale mi sono compiaciuto. ¹⁸ E noi stessi udimmo quella voce che veniva dal cielo, quand’eravamo con lui sul monte santo. ¹⁹ Abbiamo pure la parola profetica, più ferma, alla quale fate bene di prestare attenzione, come una lampada splendente in luogo oscuro, finché spunti il giorno e la stella mattutina sorga ne’ vostri cuori; ²⁰ sapendo prima di tutto questo: che nessuna profezia della Scrittura procede da vedute particolari; ²¹ poiché non è dalla volontà dell’uomo che venne mai alcuna profezia, ma degli uomini hanno parlato da parte di Dio, perché sospinti dallo Spirito Santo.

Japanese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ イエス・キリストの僕また使徒なるシメオン・ペテロ、書を我らの神および救主イエス・キリストの義によりて、我らと同じ貴き信仰を受けたる者に贈る。 ² 願はくは神および我らの主イエスを知るによりて、恩惠と平安と汝らに増さんことを。 ³ キリストの神たる能力は、生命と敬虔とに係る凡てのものを我らに賜へり。是おのれの榮光と徳とをもて召し給へる者を我ら知るに因りてなり。 ⁴ その榮光と徳とによりて我らに貴き大なる約束を賜へり、これは汝らが世に在る慾の滅亡をのがれ、神の性質に與る者とならん爲なり。 ⁵ この故に勵み勉めて汝らの信仰に徳を加へ、徳に知識を、 ⁶ 知識に節制を、節制に忍耐を、忍耐に敬虔を、 ⁷ 敬虔に兄弟の愛を、兄弟の愛に博愛を加へよ。 ⁸ 此等のもの汝らの衷にありて彌増すときは、汝等われらの主イエス・キリストを知るに怠ることなく、實を結ばぬこと無きに至らん。 ⁹ 此等のものの無きは盲人にして遠く見ること能はず、己が舊き罪を潔められしことを忘れたるなり。 ¹⁰ この故に兄弟よ、ますます勵みて汝らの召されたること、選ばれたることを堅うせよ。若し此等のことを行はば躓くことなからん。 ¹¹ かくて汝らは我らの主なる救主イエス・キリストの永遠の國に入る恩惠を豐に與へられん。 ¹² されば汝らは此等のことを知り、既に受けたる眞理に堅うせられたれど、我つねに此等のことを思ひ出させんとするなり。 ¹³ 我は尚この幕屋に居るあいだ、汝らに思ひ出させて勵ますを正當なりと思ふ。 ¹⁴ そは我らの主イエス・キリストの我に示し給へるごとく、我わが幕屋を脱ぎ去ることの速かなるを知ればなり。 ¹⁵ 我また汝等をして我が世を去らん後にも、常に此等のことを思ひ出させんと勉むべし。 ¹⁶ 我らは我らの主イエス・キリストの能力と來りたまふ事とを汝らに告ぐるに、巧なる作話を用ひざりき、我らは親しくその稜威を見し者なり。 ¹⁷ いとも貴き榮光の中より聲出でて『こは我が愛しむ子なり、我これを悦ぶ』と言ひ給へるとき、主は父なる神より尊貴と榮光とを受け給へり。 ¹⁸ 我らも彼と偕に聖なる山に在りしとき、天より出づる此の聲をきけり。 ¹⁹ かくて我らが有てる預言の言は堅うせられたり。汝等この言を暗き處にかがやく燈火として、夜明け、明星の汝らの心の中にいづるまで顧みるは善し。 ²⁰ なんじら先づ知れ、聖書の預言は、すべて己がままに釋くべきものにあらぬを。 ²¹ 預言は人の心より出でしにあらず、人々聖靈に動かされ、神によりて語れるものなればなり。

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Szymon Piotr, sługa i Apostoł Jezusa Chrystusa, tym, którzy równie z nami kosztownej wiary dostali przez sprawiedliwość Boga naszego i zbawiciela naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa. ² Łaska i pokój niech się wam rozmnoży przez poznanie Boga i Jezusa, Pana naszego. ³ Jako nam jego Boska moc wszystko, co do żywota i do pobożności należy, darowała przez poznanie tego, który nas powołał przez sławę i przez cnotę; ⁴ Przez co bardzo wielkie i kosztowne obietnice nam są darowane, abyście się przez nie stali uczestnikami Boskiego przyrodzenia, uszedłszy skażenia tego, które jest na świecie w pożądliwościach. ⁵ Ku temu tedy samemu wszelkiej pilności przykładając, przydajcie do wiary waszej cnotę, a do cnoty umiejętność; ⁶ A do umiejętności powściągliwość, a do powściągliwości cierpliwość, a do cierpliwości pobożność; ⁷ A do pobożności braterską miłość, a do miłości braterskiej łaskę. ⁸ Albowiem gdy to będzie przy was, a obficie będzie, nie próżnymi, ani niepożytecznymi wystawi was w znajomości Pana naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa. ⁹ Bo przy kim tych rzeczy nie masz, ślepy jest; a tego, co jest daleko, nie widzi, zapomniawszy na oczyszczenie od dawnych grzechów swoich. ¹⁰ Przetoż, bracia! raczej się starajcie, abyście powołanie i wybranie wasze mocne czynili; albowiem to czyniąc, nigdy się nie potkniecie. ¹¹ Tak bowiem hojnie wam dane będzie wejście do wiecznego królestwa Pana naszego i Zbawiciela, Jezusa Chrystusa. ¹² Przetoż nie zaniedbam was zawsze upominać o tych rzeczach, chociażeście umiejętni i utwierdzeni w teraźniejszej prawdzie. ¹³ Boć to mam za słuszną rzecz, pókim jest w tym przybytku, abym was pobudzał przez napominanie, ¹⁴ Wiedząc, iż prędkie jest złożenie przybytku mojego, jako mi i Pan nasz, Jezus Chrystus objawił. ¹⁵ A starać się będę o to ze wszelakiej miary, abyście wy i po zejściu mojem te rzeczy sobie przypominali. ¹⁶ Albowiem nie baśni jakich misternie wymyślonych naśladując, uczyniliśmy wam znajomą Pana naszego, Jezusa Chrystusa moc i przyjście, ale jako ci, którzyśmy oczami naszemi widzieli wielmożność jego. ¹⁷ Wziął bowiem od Boga Ojca cześć i chwałę, gdy mu był przyniesiony głos taki od wielmożnej chwały: ten jest on Syn mój miły, w którym mi się upodobało. ¹⁸ A głos ten myśmy słyszeli z nieba przyniesiony, będąc z nim na onej górze świętej. ¹⁹ I mamy mocniejszą mowę prorocką, której pilnując jako świecy w ciemnem miejscu świecącej, dobrze czynicie, ażby dzień oświtnął, i jutrzenka weszła w sercach waszych. ²⁰ To najpierw wiedząc, iż żadne proroctwo Pisma nie jest własnego wykładu. ²¹ Albowiem nie z woli ludzkiej przyniesione jest niekiedy proroctwo, ale od Ducha Świętego pędzeni będąc mówili święci Boży ludzie.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simão Pedro, servo e apóstolo de Jesus Cristo, aos que connosco alcançaram fé igualmente preciosa na justiça do nosso Deus e Salvador Jesus Cristo: ² Graça e paz vos sejam multiplicadas no pleno conhecimento de Deus e de Jesus nosso Senhor; ³ visto como o seu divino poder nos tem dado tudo o que diz respeito à vida e à piedade, pelo pleno conhecimento daquele que nos chamou por sua própria glória e virtude; ⁴ pelas quais ele nos tem dado as suas preciosas e grandíssimas promessas, para que por elas vos torneis participantes da natureza divina, havendo escapado da corrupção, que pela concupiscência há no mundo. ⁵ E por isso mesmo vós, empregando toda a diligência, acrescentai à vossa fé a virtude, e à virtude a ciência, ⁶ e à ciência o domínio próprio, e ao domínio próprio a perseverança, e à perseverança a piedade, ⁷ e à piedade a fraternidade, e à fraternidade o amor. ⁸ Porque, se em vós houver e abundarem estas coisas, elas não vos deixarão ociosos nem infrutíferos no pleno conhecimento de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo. ⁹ Pois aquele em quem não há estas coisas é cego, vendo somente o que está perto, havendo-se esquecido da purificação dos seus antigos pecados. ¹⁰ Portanto, irmãos, procurai mais diligentemente fazer firme a vossa vocação e eleição; porque, fazendo isto, nunca jamais tropeçareis. ¹¹ Porque assim vos será amplamente concedida a entrada no reino eterno do nosso Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo. ¹² Pelo que estarei sempre pronto para vos lembrar estas coisas, ainda que as saibais, e estejais confirmados na verdade que já está convosco. ¹³ E tendo por justo, enquanto ainda estou neste tabernáculo, despertar-vos com admoestações, ¹⁴ sabendo que brevemente hei de deixar este meu tabernáculo, assim como nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo já mo revelou. ¹⁵ Mas procurarei diligentemente que também em toda ocasião depois da minha morte tenhais lembrança destas coisas. ¹⁶ Porque não seguimos fábulas engenhosas quando vos fizemos conhecer o poder e a vinda de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, pois nós fôramos testemunhas oculares da sua majestade. ¹⁷ Porquanto ele recebeu de Deus Pai honra e glória, quando pela Glória Magnífica lhe foi dirigida a seguinte voz: Este é o meu Filho amado, em quem me comprazo; ¹⁸ e essa voz, dirigida do céu, ouvimo-la nós mesmos, estando com ele no monte santo. ¹⁹ E temos ainda mais firme a palavra profética à qual bem fazeis em estar atentos, como a uma candeia que alumia em lugar escuro, até que o dia amanheça e a estrela da alva surja em vossos corações; ²⁰ sabendo primeiramente isto: que nenhuma profecia da Escritura é de particular interpretação. ²¹ Porque a profecia nunca foi produzida por vontade dos homens, mas os homens da parte de Deus falaram movidos pelo Espírito Santo.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simeon Peter, Jesu Kristi tjener og apostel - til dem som har fått samme dyre tro som vi ved vår Gud og frelser Jesu Kristi rettferdighet: ² Nåde og fred bli eder mangfoldig til del, idet I kjenner Gud og Jesus, vår Herre! ³ Eftersom hans guddommelige makt har gitt oss alt som tjener til liv og gudsfrykt, ved kunnskapen om ham som kalte oss ved sin egen herlighet og kraft ⁴ og derved har gitt oss de største og dyreste løfter, forat I ved dem skulde få del i guddommelig natur, idet I flyr bort fra fordervelsen i verden, som kommer av lysten, ⁵ så legg og just derfor all vinn på i eders tro å vise dyd, og i dyden skjønnsomhet, ⁶ og i skjønnsomheten avhold, og i avholdet tålmod, og i tålmodet gudsfrykt, ⁷ og i gudsfrykten broderkjærlighet, og i broderkjærligheten kjærlighet til alle. ⁸ For når disse ting finnes hos eder og får vokse, da viser de at I ikke er uvirksomme eller ufruktbare i kunnskapen om vår Herre Jesus Kristus; ⁹ for den som ikke har disse ting, han er blind, nærsynt, idet han har glemt renselsen fra sine fordums synder. ¹⁰ Derfor, brødre, legg enn mere vinn på å gjøre eders kall og utvelgelse fast! for når I gjør disse ting, da skal I ingensinne snuble; ¹¹ for på denne måte skal det rikelig gis eder inngang i vår Herre og frelser Jesu Kristi evige rike. ¹² Derfor vil jeg alltid komme til å minne eder om dette, enda I vet det og er grunnfestet i sannheten, som er hos eder; ¹³ allikevel akter jeg det for riktig, så lenge jeg er i denne hytte, å vekke eder ved påminnelse, ¹⁴ for jeg vet at nedleggelsen av min hytte kommer brått, som og vår Herre Jesus Kristus varslet mig. ¹⁵ Men jeg vil og gjøre mig flid for at I til enhver tid efter min bortgang skal kunne minnes dette. ¹⁶ For ikke var det kløktig uttenkte eventyr vi fulgte da vi kunngjorde eder vår Herre Jesu Kristi makt og gjenkomst, men vi hadde vært øienvidner til hans storhet. ¹⁷ For han fikk ære og herlighet av Gud Fader, idet en sådan røst kom til ham fra den ophøiede herlighet: Dette er min Sønn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har velbehag, ¹⁸ og denne røst hørte vi komme fra himmelen da vi var sammen med ham på det hellige berg. ¹⁹ Og dess fastere har vi det profetiske ord, som I gjør vel i å akte på som på et lys som skinner på et mørkt sted, inntil dagen lyser frem og morgenstjernen går op i eders hjerter, ²⁰ idet I først og fremst vet dette at intet profetord i Skriften er gitt til egen tydning; ²¹ for aldri er noget profetord fremkommet ved et menneskes vilje, men de hellige Guds menn talte drevet av den Hellige Ånd.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Simon (Sau: Simeon.) Petru, rob şi apostol al lui Isus Hristos, către ceice au căpătat o credinţă de acelaş preţ cu a noastră, prin dreptatea Dumnezeului şi Mîntuitorului nostru Isus Hristos: ² Harul şi pacea să vă fie înmulţite prin cunoaşterea lui Dumnezeu şi a Domnului nostru Isus Hristos! ³ Dumnezeiasca Lui putere ne -a dăruit tot ce priveşte viaţa şi evlavia, prin cunoaşterea Celuice ne -a chemat prin slava şi puterea Lui, ⁴ prin cari El ne -a dat făgăduinţele Lui nespus de mari şi scumpe, ca prin ele să vă faceţi părtaşi firii dumnezeieşti, după ce aţi fugit de stricăciunea, care este în lume prin pofte. ⁵ De aceea, daţi-vă şi voi toate silinţele ca să uniţi cu credinţa voastră fapta; cu fapta, cunoştinţa; ⁶ cu cunoştinţa, înfrînarea; cu înfrînarea, răbdarea; cu răbdarea, evlavia; ⁷ cu evlavia, dragostea de fraţi; cu dragostea de fraţi, iubirea de oameni. ⁸ Căci, dacă aveţi din belşug aceste lucruri în voi, ele nu vă vor lăsa să fiţi nici leneşi, nici neroditori în ce priveşte deplina cunoştinţă a Domnului nostru Isus Hristos. ⁹ Dar cine nu are aceste lucruri, este orb, umblă cu ochii închişi, şi a uitat că a fost curăţit de vechile lui păcate. ¹⁰ De aceea, fraţilor, căutaţi cu atît mai mult să vă întăriţi chemarea şi alegerea voastră; căci, dacă faceţi lucrul acesta, nu veţi aluneca niciodată. ¹¹ În adevăr, în chipul acesta vi se va da din belşug intrare în Împărăţia vecinică a Domnului şi Mîntuitorului nostru Isus Hristos. ¹² De aceea voi fi gata să vă aduc totdeauna aminte de lucrurile acestea, măcar că le ştiţi, şi sînteţi tari în adevărul pe care -l aveţi. ¹³ Dar socotesc că este drept, cît voi mai fi în cortul acesta, să vă ţin treji aducîndu-vă aminte; ¹⁴ căci ştiu că desbrăcarea de cortul meu va veni deodată, după cum mi -a arătat Domnul nostru Isus Hristos. ¹⁵ Îmi voi da osteneala dar, ca, şi după moartea mea, să vă puteţi aduce totdeauna aminte de aceste lucruri. ¹⁶ În adevăr, v'am făcut cunoscut puterea şi venirea Domnului nostru Isus Hristos, nu întemeindu-ne pe nişte basme meşteşugit alcătuite, ci ca unii cari am văzut noi înşine cu ochii noştri mărirea Lui. ¹⁷ Căci El a primit dela Dumnezeu Tatăl cinste şi slavă, atunci cînd, din slava minunată, s'a auzit deasupra Lui un glas, care zicea:,,Acesta este Fiul Meu prea iubit, în care Îmi găsesc plăcerea.`` ¹⁸ Şi noi înşine am auzit acest glas venind din cer, cînd eram cu El pe muntele cel sfînt. ¹⁹ Şi avem cuvîntul proorociei făcut şi mai tare; la care bine faceţi că luaţi aminte, ca la o lumină care străluceşte într'un loc întunecos, pînă se va crăpa de ziuă şi va răsări luceafărul de dimineaţă în inimile voastre. ²⁰ Fiindcă mai întîi de toate, să ştiţi că nicio proorocie din Scriptură nu se tîlcuieşte singură. ²¹ Căci nici o proorocie n'a fost adusă prin voia omului; ci oamenii au vorbit dela Dumnezeu, mînaţi de Duhul Sfînt.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Симеон Петро, раб та апостол Ісуса Христа, до тих, хто одержав із нами рівноцінну віру в правді Бога нашого й Спасителя Ісуса Христа: ² благодать вам та мир нехай примножиться в пізнанні Бога й Ісуса, Господа нашого! ³ Усе, що потрібне для життя та побожности, подала нам Його Божа сила пізнанням Того, Хто покликав нас славою та чеснотою. ⁴ Через них даровані нам цінні та великі обітниці, щоб ними ви стали учасниками Божої Істоти, утікаючи від пожадливого світового тління. ⁵ Тому докладіть до цього всю пильність, і покажіть у вашій вірі чесноту, а в чесноті пізнання, ⁶ а в пізнанні стримання, а в стриманні терпеливість, а в терпеливості благочестя, ⁷ а в благочесті братерство, а в братерстві любов. ⁸ Бо коли це в вас є та примножується, то воно зробить вас нелінивими, ані безплідними для пізнання Господа нашого Ісуса Христа. ⁹ А хто цього не має, той сліпий, короткозорий, він забув про очищення з своїх давніх гріхів. ¹⁰ Тому, браття, тим більше дбайте чинити міцним своє покликання та вибрання, бо, роблячи так, ви ніколи не спіткнетесь. ¹¹ Бо щедро відкриється вам вхід до вічного Царства Господа нашого й Спасителя Ісуса Христа. ¹² Тому то ніколи я не занедбую про це вам нагадувати, хоч ви й знаєте, і впевнені в теперішній правді. ¹³ Бо вважаю я за справедливе, доки я в цій оселі, спонукувати вас нагадуванням, ¹⁴ знаючи, що я незабаром повинен покинути оселю свою, як і Господь наш Ісус Христос об'явив був мені. ¹⁵ А я пильнуватиму, щоб ви й по моєму відході завжди мали це в пам'яті. ¹⁶ Бо ми сповістили вам силу та прихід Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, не йдучи за хитро видуманими байками, але бувши самовидцями Його величі. ¹⁷ Бо Він честь та славу прийняв від Бога Отця, як до Нього прийшов від величної слави голос такий: Це Син Мій Улюблений, що Його Я вподобав! ¹⁸ І цей голос, що з неба зійшов, ми чули, як із Ним були на святій горі. ¹⁹ І ми маємо слово пророче певніше. І ви добре робите, що на нього вважаєте, як на світильника, що світить у темному місці, аж поки зачне розвиднятися, і світова зірниця засяє у ваших серцях, ²⁰ бо ви знаєте перше про те, що жодне пророцтво в Писанні від власного вияснення не залежить. ²¹ Бо пророцтва ніколи не було з волі людської, а звіщали його святі Божі мужі, проваджені Духом Святим.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Симон Петр, слуга і апостол Ісуса Христа, тим, що з нами однаку дорогу віру приняли по правдї Бога нашого і Спаса Ісуса Христа: ² благодать вам і впокій нехай умножить ся в познанню Бога й Ісуса, Господа нашого. ³ Яко ж усе до життя і побожности дароване нам Божою силою Його, через познаннє Покликавшого нас славою і чеснотою (милостю), ⁴ чим найбільші і дорогі обітницї даровані нам, щоб через них були ви спільниками Божої природи, ухиляючись від тлїнного хотіння, що в сьвітї, ⁵ то доложіть до сього усе ваше стараннє, і подайте у вірі вашій чесноту, а в чеснотї розум, ⁶ а в розумі вдержанне, а у вдержанню терпінне, а в терпінню побожність, ⁷ а в побожності братню любов, а в братній любові любов (для всїх). ⁸ Коли бо се буде у вас і умножить ся, то не оставить вас лїнивими, анї безплодними в познаннї Господа нашого Ісуса Христа. ⁹ У кого бо нема сього, той слїпий і коротко видющий, що забув на очищеннє давних своїх гріхів. ¹⁰ Тим то, брати, старайтесь більше утвердити ваше покликаннє і вибраннє; се бо роблячи, ніколи не спотикнетесь. ¹¹ Так бо щедро дозволить ся вам вхід у вічне царство Господа нашого і Спаса Ісуса Христа. ¹² Тим і не занехую завсїди пригадувати вам сї речи, хоч ви й знаєте, і утверджені у сїй правдї. ¹³ Видить ся ж менї право, доки я у сїй оселї, розбуджувати вас у наповіданню; ¹⁴ знаючи, що скоро оставлю оселю мою, яко ж і Господь наш Ісус Христос обявив менї. ¹⁵ Старати му ся ж, щоб ви і всюди, по моєму розстанню, робили спомин сїх річей. ¹⁶ Не за байками бо, хитро придуманими, йдучи, обявили ми вам силу і прихід Господа вашого Ісуса Христа, а бувши самовидцями величчя Його. ¹⁷ Бо Він приняв від Бога Отця честь і славу, коли зійшов до Него од величньої слави такий голос: "Се Син мій любий, що я вподобав Його." ¹⁸ сей голос чули ми, як сходив з неба, бувши з Ним на горі сьвятій. ¹⁹ Ще ж маємо певнїше слово пророче, і ви добре робите, вважаючи на него, як на сьвітильника, що сьвітить в темному місці, аж День засияє, і денниця зійде в серцях ваших; ²⁰ се найперш знаючи, що жадне книжне пророцтво не дїєть ся своїм розвязаннєм. ²¹ Бо ніколи із волі чоловіка не виповідано пророцтво, а від Духа сьвятого розбуджувані, промовляли сьвяті люде Божі.
