[1]SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975[G5631] like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
[2]GraceG5485 andG2532 peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129[G5684] unto youG5213 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316, andG2532 of JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962,
[3]According asG5613 hisG846 divineG2304 powerG1411 hath givenG1433[G5772] unto usG2254 all thingsG3956 that pertain untoG4314 lifeG2222 andG2532 godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the knowledgeG1922 of him that hath calledG2564[G5660] usG2248 toG1223 gloryG1391 andG2532 virtueG703:
[4]WherebyG1223[G3739] are givenG1433[G5769] unto usG2254 exceeding greatG3176 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG5130 ye might beG1096[G5638] partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668[G5631] the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
[5]AndG2532[G1161] besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923[G5660] allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023[G5657] toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
[6]AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 temperanceG1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG1466 patienceG5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG5281 godlinessG2150;
[7]AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
[8]ForG1063 if these thingsG5023 beG5225[G5723] in youG5213, andG2532 aboundG4121[G5723], they makeG2525[G5719] you that ye shall neitherG3756 be barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
[9]ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3361[G3918][G5748] these thingsG5023 isG2076[G5748] blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467[G5723], and hath forgottenG3024[G2983][G5631] that he was purged fromG2512 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG266.
[10]WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704[G5657] to makeG4160[G5733] yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160[G5723] these thingsG5023, ye shallG4218[G4417] neverG3364 fallG4218[G4417]:[G5661]
[11]ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG1529 shall be ministeredG2023[G5701] unto youG5213 abundantlyG4146 intoG1519 the everlastingG166 kingdomG932 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
[12]WhereforeG1352 I willG272 notG3756 be negligentG272[G5692] to putG5279 youG5209 alwaysG104 in remembranceG5279[G5721] ofG4012 these thingsG5130, thoughG2539 ye knowG1492[G5761] them, andG2532 be establishedG4741[G5772] inG1722 the presentG3918[G5752] truthG225.
[13]YeaG1161, I think itG2233[G5736] meetG1342, as long asG1909[G3745] I amG1510[G5748] inG1722 thisG5129 tabernacleG4638, to stirG1326 youG5209 upG1326[G5721] byG1722 putting you in remembranceG5280;
[14]KnowingG1492[G5761] thatG3754 shortlyG5031 I mustG2076[G5748] put offG595 this myG3450 tabernacleG4638, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath shewedG1213[G5656] meG3427.
[15]MoreoverG1161[G2532] I will endeavourG4704[G5692] that yeG5209 may be ableG2192[G5721] afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to haveG4160[G5733] these thingsG5130 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
[16]ForG1063 we haveG1811 notG3756 followedG1811[G5660] cunningly devisedG4679[G5772] fablesG3454, when we made knownG1107[G5656] unto youG5213 the powerG1411 andG2532 comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 wereG1096[G5679] eyewitnessesG2030 of hisG1565 majestyG3168.
[17]ForG1063 he receivedG2983[G5631] fromG3844 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391, when there cameG5342[G5685] suchG5107 a voiceG5456 to himG846 fromG5259 the excellentG3169 gloryG1391, ThisG3778 isG2076[G5748] myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1519 whomG3739 IG1473 am well pleasedG2106.[G5656]
[18]AndG2532 thisG5026 voiceG5456 which cameG5342[G5685] fromG1537 heavenG3772 weG2249 heardG191[G5656], when we wereG5607[G5752] withG4862 himG846 inG1722 the holyG40 mountG3735.
[19]We haveG2192[G5719] alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160[G5719] wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337[G5723], asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316[G5730] inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193[G3739] the dayG2250 dawnG1306[G5661], andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393[G5661] inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
[20]KnowingG1097[G5723] thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756[G3956] prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096[G5736] of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
[21]ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342[G5681] notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980[G5656] as they were movedG5342[G5746] byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
