CHAP. I.
3 Hauing spoken of the bountifulnes of God, 5 and of the vertues
of faith, 6 He exhorteth them to holines of life, 12 and
that his counsell may be the more effectuall, 14 He sheweth that his death is at hand, 16 and that himselfe did see the
power of Christ which he opened vnto them.
1 Simon note Peter a seruant and an Apostle
of Iesus Christ, to you
which haue obteined like precious
faith with vs by the note righteousnesse
of our God and Sauiour Iesus
Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you,
note through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus
our Lord,
3 noteAccording as his note diuine power hath giuen
vnto vs all things that perteine vnto note life and
godlinesse, through the note acknowledging of him
that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue.
4 noteWhereby most great and precious promises
are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should
be partakers of the note diuine nature, in that ye flee
the corruption, which is in the note worlde through
note lust.
5 noteTherefore giue euen all diligence thereunto:
note ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith:
and with vertue, knowledge:
6 noteAnd with knowledge, temperance: and
with temperance, patience: and with patience,
godlines:
-- --
Make your election sure.
7 And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and
with brotherly kindnes, loue.
8 noteFor if these things be among you, and abound,
they will make you that ye neither shalbe
idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our
Lord Iesus Christ:
9 For he that hath not these things, is blinde,
and note can not see farre off, and hath forgotten
that he was purged from his olde sinnes.
10 noteWherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence
to make your calling and election sure: for
if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.
11 For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred
vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting
kingdome of our Lorde and Sauiour Iesus
Christ.
12 noteWherefore, I will not be negligent to
put you alwayes in remembrance of these things,
though that ye haue knowledge, & be stablished
in the present trueth.
13 For I thinke it meete as long as I am in
this note tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you
in remembrance,
14 Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand
that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen
as our Lord Iesus Christ hath note shewed me.
15 I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye
also may be able to haue remembrance of these
things after my departing.
16 note noteFor we followed not deceiuable fables
when we opened vnto you the power, and
comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our
eyes we saw his maiestie:
17 For he receiued of God the Father honour
and glory, when there came such a voyce to him
from that excellent glory, note This is my beloued
Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voyce we heard when it came
from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.
19 noteWe haue also a most sure worde of the
Prophets, note to the which ye doe well that yee
take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke
place, vntill the note day dawne, and the note day starre
arise in your hearts.
20 note noteSo that yee first knowe this, that no
prophecie of the note Scripture is of any note priuate interpretation.
21 For the prophecie came not in olde time
by the will of man: but note holy men of God spake
as they were note moued by the holy Ghost.
