2Peter 1

1. Simon <4613> Peter <4074>, a servant <1401> and an apostle
<652>

of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to them that have obtained <2975>

like <2472> precious <2472> faith <4102> with us through <1722>
the

righteousness <1343> of God <2316> and our Saviour <4990> Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547>:

2 Grace <5485> and peace <1515> be multiplied < 4129> unto you

through <1722> the knowledge <1922> of God < 2316>, and of Jesus

<2424> our Lord <2962>,

3 According <5613> as his divine <2304> power < 1411> hath given

<1433> unto us all <3956> things that [pertain] unto life <2222>
and

godliness <2150>, through <1223> the knowledge < 1922> of him that

hath called <2564> us to glory <1391> and virtue < 703>:

4 Whereby <3739> are given <1433> unto us exceeding great
<3176>

and precious <5093> promises <1862>: that by these <5130> ye
might

be partakers <2844> of the divine <2304> nature < 5449>, having

escaped <668> the corruption <5356> that is in the world <2889>

through <1722> lust <1939>.

5. And beside <846> this <5124>, giving <3923> all diligence

<4710>, add <2023> to your <5216> faith < 4102> virtue <703>; and
to

virtue <703> knowledge <1108>;

6 And to knowledge <1108> temperance <1466>; and to temperance

<1466> patience <5281>; and to patience <5281> godliness <2150>;

7 And to godliness <2150> brotherly <5360> kindness <5360>;
and to

brotherly <5360> kindness <5360> charity <26>.

8 For if these <5023> things be in you, and abound < 4121>, they

make <2525> [you that ye shall] neither <3756> [be] barren <692>
nor

<3761> unfruitful <175> in the knowledge <1922> of our Lord
<2962>

Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

9 But he that lacketh <3918> these <5023> things is blind
<5185>,

and cannot <3467> see <3467> afar <3467> off, and hath forgotten

<2983> that he was purged <2512> from his old < 3819> sins <266>.

10 Wherefore <1352> the rather <3123>, brethren < 80>, give

diligence <4710> to make <4160> your <5216> calling <2821> and

election <1589> sure <949>: for if ye do <4160> these <5023>
things,

ye shall never <4219> fall <4417>:

11 For so <3779> an entrance <1529> shall be ministered <2023>

unto you abundantly <4146> into <1519> the everlasting <166>
kingdom

<932> of our Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ

<5547>.

12. Wherefore <1352> I will not be negligent <272> to put <5279>

you always <104> in remembrance <5179> of these < 5130> things,

though <2539> ye know <1492> [them], and be established <4741> in

the present <3918> truth <225>.

13 Yea <1161>, I think <2233> it meet <1342>, as long as I am

<1510> in this <5129> tabernacle <4638>, to stir <1326> you up by

putting <5279> [you] in remembrance <5280>;

14 Knowing <1492> that shortly <5031> I must put <595> off
<595>

[this <3588>] my tabernacle <4638>, even <2532> as our Lord
<2962>

Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> hath shewed <1213> me.

15 Moreover <2532> I will endeavour <4704> that ye may be able

<2192> after <3326> my decease <1841> to have these <5130> things

always <1539> in remembrance <3420>.

16. For we have not followed <1811> cunningly devised < 4679>
fables

<3454>, when we made <1107> known <1107> unto you the power
<1411>

and coming <3952> of our Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>,
but

were eyewitnesses <2030> of his majesty <3168>.

17 For he received <2983> from God <2316> the Father <3962>
honour

<5092> and glory <1391>, when there came <5342> such <5107> a
voice

<5456> to him from the excellent <3169> glory < 1391>, This
<3778> is

my beloved <27> Son <5207>, in whom <3739> I am well <2106>
pleased

<2106>.

18 And this <5026> voice <5456> which came < 5342> from heaven

<3772> we heard <191>, when we were with him in the holy <40>
mount

<3735>.

19. We have <2192> also <2532> a more sure < 949> word <3056> of

prophecy <4397>; whereunto <3739> ye do <4160> well <2573> that
ye

take heed <433>, as unto a light <3088> that shineth <5316> in a

dark <850> place <5117>, until <2193> the day <2250> dawn <1306>,

and the day <5459> star <5459> arise <393> in your <5216> hearts

<2588>:

20 Knowing <1097> this <5124> first <4412>, that no <3756>

prophecy <4394> of the scripture <1124> is of any private <2398>

interpretation <1955>.

21 For the prophecy <4394> came <5342> not in old <4218> time

<4218> by the will <2307> of man <444>: but holy <40> men <444>
of

God <2316> spake <2980> [as they were] moved < 5342> by the Holy
<40>

Ghost <4151>.

2Peter 2

1. But there were false <5578> prophets <5578> also <2532> among

<1722> the people <2992>, even <2532> as there shall be false
<5572>

teachers <5572> among <1722> you, who <3748> privily <3919> shall

bring <3918> in damnable <684> heresies <139>, even <2532>
denying

<720> the Lord <1203> that bought <59> them, and bring <3918>
upon

themselves <1438> swift <5031> destruction <684> .

2 And many <4183> shall follow <1811> their pernicious <684>
ways

<684>; by reason <1223> of whom <3739> the way <3598> of truth
<225>

shall be evil <987> spoken <987> of.

3. And through <1722> covetousness <4124> shall they with
feigned

<4112> words <3056> make <1710> merchandise of you: whose <3739>

judgment <2917> now of a long time <1597> lingereth <691> not,
and

their damnation <684> slumbereth <3573> not.

4 For if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> not the angels <32>
that

sinned <264>, but cast <5020> [them] down to hell < 5020>, and

delivered <3860> [them] into chains <4577> of darkness <2217>,
to be

reserved <5083> unto judgment <2920>;

5 And spared <5339> not the old <744> world < 2889>, but saved

<5442> Noah <3575> the eighth <3590> [person], a preacher <2783>
of

righteousness <1343>, bringing <1863> in the flood <2627> upon
the

world <2889> of the ungodly <765>;

6 And turning <5077> the cities <4172> of Sodom < 4670> and

Gomorrha <1116> into ashes <5077> condemned < 2632> [them] with an

overthrow <2692>, making <4160> [them] an ensample <5262> unto
those

<3588> that after <3195> should <3195> live ungodly <764>;

7. And delivered <4506> just <1342> Lot <3091>, vexed <2669>
with

the filthy <766> conversation <391> of the wicked < 113>:

8 (For that righteous <1342> man dwelling <1460> among <1722>

them, in seeing <990> and hearing <189>, vexed < 928> [his]
righteous

<1342> soul <5590> from day <2250> to day < 2250> with [their]

unlawful <459> deeds <2041>;)

9 The Lord <2962> knoweth <1492> how to deliver < 4506> the
godly

<2152> out of temptations <3986>, and to reserve < 5083> the
unjust

<94> unto the day <2250> of judgment <2920> to be punished
<2849>:

10. But chiefly <3122> them that walk <4198> after <3694> the
flesh

<4561> in the lust <1939> of uncleanness <3394>, and despise
<2706>

government <2963>. Presumptuous <5113> [are they], selfwilled
<829>,

they are not afraid <5141> to speak <987> evil < 987> of dignities

<1391>.

11 Whereas <3699> angels <32>, which are greater <3187> in
power

<2479> and might <1411>, bring <5342> not railing <989>
accusation

<2920> against <2596> them before <3844> the Lord <2962>.

12 But these <3778>, as natural <5446> brute < 249> beasts
<2226>,

made <1080> to be taken <259> and destroyed < 5356>, speak <987>
evil

<987> of the things that they understand <50> not; and shall
utterly

<2704> perish <2704> in their own <848> corruption <5356>;

13 And shall receive <2865> the reward <3408> of
unrighteousness

<93>, [as] they that count <2233> it pleasure < 2237> to riot
<5172>

in the day <2250> time. Spots <4696> [they are] and blemishes

<3470>, sporting <1792> themselves with their own < 848>
deceivings

<539> while they feast <4910> with you;

14 Having <2192> eyes <3788> full <3324> of adultery <3428>,
and

that cannot <180> cease <180> from sin <266>; beguiling <1185>

unstable <793> souls <5590>: an heart <2588> they have <2192>

exercised <1128> with covetous <4124> practices; cursed <2671>

children <5043>:

15 Which have forsaken <2641> the right <2117> way <3598>, and
are

gone <4105> astray <4105>, following <1811> the way <3598> of
Balaam

<903> [the son] of Bosor <1007>, who <3739> loved <25> the wages

<3408> of unrighteousness <93>;

16 But was rebuked <1649> for his iniquity <3892>: the dumb
<880>

ass <5268> speaking <5350> with man's <444> voice <5456> forbad

<2967> the madness <3913> of the prophet <4396>.

17 These <3778> are wells <4077> without <504> water <504>,
clouds

<3507> that are carried <1643> with a tempest < 2978>; to whom
<3739>

the mist <2217> of darkness <4655> is reserved < 5083> for ever

<165>.

18 For when they speak <5350> great <5246> swelling <5246>
[words]

of vanity <3153>, they allure <1185> through < 1722> the lusts
<1939>

of the flesh <4561>, [through much] wantonness <766>, those
<3588>

that were clean <3689> escaped <668> from them who live <390> in

error <4106>.

19 While they promise <1861> them liberty <1657>, they
themselves

<846> are the servants <1401> of corruption < 5356>: for of whom

<3739> a man <5100> is overcome <2274>, of the same <3778> is he

brought <1402> in bondage <1402>.

20 For if <1487> after they have escaped <668> the pollutions

<3393> of the world <2889> through <1722> the knowledge <1922> of

the Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,
they

are again <3825> entangled <1707> therein <5125> , and overcome

<2274>, the latter <2078> end <2078> is worse <5501> with them
than

the beginning <4413>.

21 For it had been <2258> better <2909> for them not to have
known

<1921> the way <3598> of righteousness <1343>, than <2228>, after

they have known <1921> [it], to turn <1994> from the holy <40>

commandment <1785> delivered <3860> unto them.

22 But it is happened <4819> unto them according to the true
<227>

proverb <3942>, The dog <2965> [is] turned < 1994> to his own
<2398>

vomit <1829> again <1994>; and the sow <5300> that was washed
<3068>

to her wallowing <2946> in the mire <1004>.

2Peter 3

1. This <5026> second <1208> epistle <1992>, beloved <27>, I now

<2236> write <1125> unto you; in [both] which < 3739> I stir
<1326>

up your <5216> pure <1506> minds <1271> by way <1722> of
remembrance

<5280>:

2 That ye may be mindful <3403> of the words <4487> which were

spoken <4280> before <4280> by the holy <40> prophets <4396>,
and of

the commandment <1785> of us the apostles <652> of the Lord
<2962>

and Saviour <4990>:

3. Knowing <1097> this <5124> first <4412>, that there shall
come

<2064> in the last <2078> days <2250> scoffers <1703>, walking

<4198> after <2596> their own <2398> lusts < 1939>,

4 And saying <3004>, Where <4226> is the promise <1860> of his

coming <3952>? for since <3739> the fathers < 3962> fell asleep

<2837>, all <3956> things continue <1265> as [they were] from the

beginning <746> of the creation <2937>.

5 For this <5124> they willingly <2309> are ignorant <2990> of,

that by the word <3056> of God <2316> the heavens < 3772> were of
old

<1597>, and the earth <1093> standing <4921> out of the water
<5204>

and in the water <5204>:

6 Whereby <3739> the world <2889> that then < 5119> was, being

overflowed <2626> with water <5204>, perished < 622>:

7 But the heavens <3772> and the earth <1093>, which are now

<3568>, by the same <846> word <3056> are kept <2343> in store

<2343>, reserved <5083> unto fire <4442> against <1519> the day

<2250> of judgment <2920> and perdition <684> of ungodly <765>
men

<444>.

8. But, beloved <27>, be not ignorant <2990> of this <5124> one

<1520> thing, that one <3391> day <2250> [is] with the Lord
<2962>

as a thousand <5507> years <2094>, and a thousand < 5507> years

<2094> as one <3391> day <2250>.

9. The Lord <2962> is not slack <1019> concerning <4314> his

promise <1860>, as some <5100> men count <2233> slackness <1022>;

but is longsuffering to us-ward <2248>, not willing < 1014> that
any

<5100> should perish <622>, but that all <3956> should come
<5562>

to repentance <3341>.

10 But the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> will come <2240> as a

thief <2812> in the night <3571>; in the which < 3739> the heavens

<3772> shall pass <3928> away with a great noise < 4500>, and the

elements <4747> shall melt <3089> with fervent heat <2741>, the

earth <1093> also <2532> and the works <2041> that are therein
<846>

shall be burned <2618> up.

11. [Seeing] then <3767> [that] all <3956> these < 5130> things

shall be dissolved <3089>, what <4217> manner < 4217> [of persons]

ought <1163> ye to be in [all] holy <40> conversation <391> and

godliness <2150>,

12 Looking <4328> for and hasting <4692> unto the coming
<3952> of

the day <2250> of God <2316>, wherein <3757> the heavens <3772>

being on fire <4448> shall be dissolved <3089>, and the elements

<4747> shall melt <5080> with fervent heat < 2741>?

13 Nevertheless <1161> we, according <2596> to his promise
<1862>,

look <4328> for new <2537> heavens <3772> and a new <2537> earth

<1093>, wherein <3757> dwelleth <2730> righteousness <1343>.

14 Wherefore <1352>, beloved <27>, seeing that ye look <4328>
for

such <5023> things, be diligent <4704> that ye may be found
<2147>

of him in peace <1515>, without <784> spot <784> , and blameless

<298>.

15 And account <2233> [that] the longsuffering < 3115> of our
Lord

<2962> [is] salvation <4991>; even <2531> as our beloved <27>

brother <80> Paul <3972> also <2532> according <2596> to the
wisdom

<4678> given <1325> unto him hath written <1125> unto you;

16 As also <2532> in all <3956> [his] epistles < 1992>, speaking

<2980> in them of these <5130> things; in which < 3739> are some

<5100> things hard <1425> to be understood < 1425>, which <3739>
they

that are unlearned <261> and unstable <793> wrest < 4761>, as
[they

do] also <2532> the other <3062> scriptures < 1124>, unto their
own

<2398> destruction <684>.

17 Ye therefore <3767>, beloved <27>, seeing ye know <4267>
[these

things] before <4267>, beware <5442> lest <3361> ye also <4879>,

being led <4879> away <4879> with the error < 4106> of the wicked

<113>, fall <1601> from your <3588> own < 2398> stedfastness
<4740>.

18 But grow <837> in grace <5485>, and [in] the knowledge
<1108>

of our Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547>.
To

him [be] glory <1391> both <2532> now <3568> and for ever <165>.

Amen <281>.
