2Peter 1
1. Simon <4613> Peter <4074>, a servant <1401>
and an apostle
<0652> 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
<0703>:
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 <0668> the corruption <5356> that is
in the world
<2889> through <1722> lust <1939>.
5. And beside <0846> this <5124>, giving <3923>
all diligence
<4710>, add <2023> to your <5216> faith <
4102> virtue <0703>;
and to virtue <0703> 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 <
0026>.
8 For if these <5023> things be in you, and abound <
4121>,
they make <2525> [you that ye shall] neither <3756>
[be] barren
<0692> nor <3761> unfruitful <0175> 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 <0266>.
10 Wherefore <1352> the rather <3123>, brethren <
0080>, give
diligence <4710> to make <4160> your <5216>
calling <2821> and
election <1589> sure <0949>: 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 <0166>
kingdom <0932> of our Lord <2962> and Saviour <
4990> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>.
12. Wherefore <1352> I will not be negligent <0272>
to put
<5279> you always <0104> in remembrance <5179>
of these <5130>
things, though <2539> ye know <1492> [them], and be
established
<4741> in the present <3918> truth <0225>.
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
<0595> off
<0595> [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 <0027> 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 <0191>, when we were with him in the
holy <0040>
mount <3735>.
19. We have <2192> also <2532> a more sure <
0949> word <3056>
of prophecy <4397>; whereunto <3739> ye do <
4160> well <2573>
that ye take heed <0433>, as unto a light <3088> that
shineth
<5316> in a dark <0850> place <5117>, until <
2193> the day
<2250> dawn <1306>, and the day <5459> star <
5459> arise <0393>
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 <0444>: but
holy <0040> men
<0444> of God <2316> spake <2980> [as they
were] moved <5342> by
the Holy <0040> 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 <
0684> heresies
<0139>, even <2532> denying <0720> the Lord <
1203> that bought
<0059> them, and bring <3918> upon themselves <
1438> swift
<5031> destruction <0684>.
2 And many <4183> shall follow <1811> their
pernicious <0684>
ways <0684>; by reason <1223> of whom <3739>
the way <3598> of
truth <0225> shall be evil <0987> spoken <0987>
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
<0691> not, and their damnation <0684> slumbereth <
3573> not.
4 For if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> not
the angels <0032>
that sinned <0264>, 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 <0744> 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 <0765>;
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
<0764>;
7. And delivered <4506> just <1342> Lot <3091>,
vexed <2669>
with the filthy <0766> conversation <0391> of the
wicked <0113>:
8 (For that righteous <1342> man dwelling <1460>
among <1722>
them, in seeing <0990> and hearing <0189>, vexed <
0928> [his]
righteous <1342> soul <5590> from day <2250> to
day <2250> with
[their] unlawful <0459> 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 <0094> 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 <0829>, they are not afraid <5141> to
speak <0987>
evil <0987> of dignities <1391>.
11 Whereas <3699> angels <0032>, which are greater
<3187> in
power <2479> and might <1411>, bring <5342> not
railing <0989>
accusation <2920> against <2596> them before <
3844> the Lord
<2962>.
12 But these <3778>, as natural <5446> brute <
0249> beasts
<2226>, made <1080> to be taken <0259> and
destroyed <5356>,
speak <0987> evil <0987> of the things that they
understand
<0050> not; and shall utterly <2704> perish <
2704> in their own
<0848> corruption <5356>;
13 And shall receive <2865> the reward <3408> of
unrighteousness <0093>, [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 <0848> deceivings <0539> while they feast <
4910> with you;
14 Having <2192> eyes <3788> full <3324> of
adultery <3428>,
and that cannot <0180> cease <0180> from sin <
0266>; beguiling
<1185> unstable <0793> souls <5590>: an heart
<2588> they have
<2192> exercised <1128> with covetous <4124>
practices; cursed
<2671> children <5043>:
