1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the
righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious
as ours:
2Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord.
3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our
knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that
through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in
the world caused by evil desires.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to
goodness, knowledge;
6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to
perseverance, godliness;
7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from
being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten
that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election
sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.
12So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are
firmly established in the truth you now have.
13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
14because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made
clear to me.
15And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to
remember these things.
16We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him
from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well
pleased."
18We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on
the sacred mountain.
19And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to
pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star rises in your hearts.
20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the
prophet's own interpretation.
21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as
they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
