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

Grace{G5485} to you{G5213} and{G2532} peace{G1515} be multiplied{G4129} in{G1722} the knowledge{G1922} of God{G2316} and{G2532} of Jesus{G2424} our{G2257} Lord;{G2962}

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

whereby{G3739} {G1223} he hath granted{G1433} unto us{G2254} his precious{G5093} and{G2532} exceeding great{G3176} promises;{G1862} that{G2443} through{G1223} these{G5130} ye may become{G1096} partakers{G2844} of the{G5449} divine{G2304} nature,{G5449} having escaped{G668} from the corruption{G5356} that is in{G1722} that world{G2889} by{G1722} lust.{G1939}

Yea,{G1161} and{G2532} for{G846} this{G5124} very cause adding{G2023} on your{G5216} part all{G3956} diligence,{G4710} in your{G5216} faith{G4102} supply{G3923} virtue;{G703} and{G1161} in{G1722} [your] virtue{G703} knowledge;{G1108}

and{G1161} in{G1722} [your] knowledge{G1108} self-control;{G1466} and{G1161} in{G1722} [your] self-control{G1466} patience;{G5281} and{G1161} in{G1722} [your] patience{G5281} godliness;{G2150}

and{G1161} in{G1722} [your] godliness{G2150} brotherly kindness;{G5360} and{G1161} in{G1722} [your] brotherly kindness{G5360} love.{G26}

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

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

Wherefore,{G1352} brethren,{G80} give the more{G3123} diligence{G4704} to make{G4160} your{G5216} calling{G2821} and{G2532} election{G1589} sure:{G949} for{G1063} if ye do{G4160} these things,{G5023} ye shall{G4218} {G4417} never{G3756} {G4218} stumble:{G4417}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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