Chapter 1
The Second Epistle Of Peter
^1 Simon Peter, a ^2 servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that
have obtained ^3 a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of ^4 our
God and the Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the
knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 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 ^5 by his own glory and virtue; whereby he
hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through
these ye may become partakers of ^6 the divine nature, having escaped from the
corruption that is in the world by lust. Yea, and for this very cause adding
on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue
knowledge; and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control ^7
patience; and in your ^7 patience godliness; and in your godliness ^8
brotherly kindness; and in your ^8 brotherly kindness love. 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. For he that lacketh these things is
blind, ^9 seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his
old sins. Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling
and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: for thus
shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

[Footnote 8: Gr. love of the brethren.]
[Footnote 9: Or, closing his eyes]
Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these
things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with
you. And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up
by putting you in remembrance; knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle
cometh swifly, swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me. Yea,
I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my ^10 decease
to call these things to remembrance. For we did not follow cunningly devised
fables, when we made known unto you the power and ^11 coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he ^12 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: and this
voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the
holy mount. 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 ^13 dark place, until the
day dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no
prophecy of scripture is of ^14 private interpretation. For no prophecy ever
^15 came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy
Spirit.
