CHAP. I.
1 Confirming them in hope of the increase of
God's graces, 5 he exhorteth them by faith
and good works, to make their calling sure:
12 of which he is careful to remind them,
knowing that his death is at hand: 16 and
warneth them to be constant in the faith of
Christ, who is the true Son of God, by the
eye-witness of the apostles beholding his majesty,
and by the testimony of the Father and
the prophets.
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 note 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 note 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 note 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, note 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 note prophecy came not note in old
time by the will of man: but holy men
of God spoke as they were moved by the
Holy Spirit.
