1:1 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 Saviour Jesus Christ:
1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
1:4 Whereby are given unto 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.
1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience;
and to patience godliness;
1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity.
1:8 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.
1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see
afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old
sins.
1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make
your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye
shall never fall:
1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you
abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in
remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and be
established in the present truth.
1:13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this
tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my
tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.
1:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my
decease to have these things always in remembrance.
1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when
we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory,
when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we
were with him in the holy mount.
1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye
do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a
dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your
hearts:
1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is
of any private interpretation.
1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of
man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy
Ghost.
