2 Peter 1 - Lighthouse Bible 2006

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained an equally precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as his divine power has given to us all things that concern life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue:

4 By which are given to us exceedingly great and precious promises: that by these you may be sharers in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 And besides this, making every effort, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love.

8 For if these things are in you, and abound, they guarantee that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But he who lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

10 Therefore even more, brethren, be diligent to make your calling and election secure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be provided for you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

13 Yea, I think it fitting, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.

15 Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my death to have these things always in remembrance.

16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17 For he received from God the Father honor 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.

18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.

19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which you do well that you pay attention, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day star arises in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy did not come in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
