2PE 01:01 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:
2PE 01:02 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2PE 01:03 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:
2PE 01:04 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.
2PE 01:05 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your
faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2PE 01:06 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
patience; and to patience godliness;
2PE 01:07 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity.
2PE 01:08 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.
2PE 01:09 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot
see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old
sins.
2PE 01:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to
make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things,
ye shall never fall:
2PE 01:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you
abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
2PE 01:12 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.
2PE 01:13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this
tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
2PE 01:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my
tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.
2PE 01:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after
my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
2PE 01:16 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.
2PE 01:17 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.
2PE 01:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when
we were with him in the holy mount.
2PE 01:19 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:
2PE 01:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture
is of any private interpretation.
2PE 01:21 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.
2PE 02:01 But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that
bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2PE 02:02 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by
reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2PE 02:03 And through covetousness shall they with feigned
words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2PE 02:04 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but
cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of
darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2PE 02:05 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the
eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the
flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2PE 02:06 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into
ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an
ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
2PE 02:07 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy
conversation of the wicked:
2PE 02:08 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in
seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day
with [their] unlawful deeds;)
2PE 02:09 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment
to be punished:
2PE 02:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the
lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are
they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of
dignities.
2PE 02:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might,
bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
2PE 02:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken
and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
2PE 02:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as]
they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they
are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own
deceivings while they feast with you;
2PE 02:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease
from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised
with covetous practices; cursed children:
2PE 02:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone
astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who
loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2PE 02:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass
speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
2PE 02:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are
carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved
for ever.
2PE 02:18 For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity,
they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much]
wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in
error.
2PE 02:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are
the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of
the same is he brought in bondage.
2PE 02:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the
world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end
is worse with them than the beginning.
2PE 02:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the
way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn
from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
2PE 02:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true
proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow
that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2PE 03:01 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you;
in [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
