Book 61 : 2 PETER - Chapter 001
001:001
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
001:002
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge
of God, and of Jesus our Lord
001:003
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
001:004
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
001:005
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
virtue; and to virtue knowledge
001:006
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and
to patience godliness
001:007
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness
charity
001:008
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
001:009
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar
off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins
001:010
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your
calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall
never fall
001:011
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly
into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ
001:012
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
001:013
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to
stir you up by putting you in remembrance
001:014
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even
as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me
001:015
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease
to have these things always in remembrance
001:016
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
001:017
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
001:018
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were
with him in the holy mount
001:019
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
001:020
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of
any private interpretation
001:021
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
