2Pe 01:01 ¶ Simon <4826> Peter <4074>, a servant <1401> and
<2532> an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to them
that have obtained <2975> (5631) like precious <2472> faith
<4102> with us <2254> through <1722> the righteousness <1343> of
God <2316> and <2532> our <2257> Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>:
2Pe 01:02 Grace <5485> and <2532> peace <1515> be multiplied
<4129> (5684) unto you <5213> through <1722> the knowledge
<1922> of God <2316>, and <2532> of Jesus <2424> our <2257> Lord
<2962>,
2Pe 01:03 According as <5613> his <846> divine <2304> power
<1411> hath given <1433> (5772) unto us <2254> all things <3956>
that pertain unto <4314> life <2222> and <2532> godliness <2150>,
through <1223> the knowledge <1922> of him that hath called
<2564> (5660) us <2248> to <1223> glory <1391> and <2532> virtue
<703>:
2Pe 01:04 Whereby <1223> <3739> are given <1433> (5769) unto us
<2254> exceeding great <3176> and <2532> precious <5093>
promises <1862>: that <2443> by <1223> these <5130> ye might be
<1096> (5638) partakers <2844> of the divine <2304> nature
<5449>, having escaped <668> (5631) the corruption <5356> that
is in <1722> the world <2889> through <1722> lust <1939>.
2Pe 01:05 ¶ And <2532> <1161> beside <846> this <5124>, giving
<3923> (5660) all <3956> diligence <4710>, add <2023> (5657) to
<1722> your <5216> faith <4102> virtue <703>; and <1161> to
<1722> virtue <703> knowledge <1108>;
2Pe 01:06 And <1161> to <1722> knowledge <1108> temperance
<1466>; and <1161> to <1722> temperance <1466> patience <5281>;
and <1161> to <1722> patience <5281> godliness <2150>;
2Pe 01:07 And <1161> to <1722> godliness <2150> brotherly
kindness <5360>; and <1161> to <1722> brotherly kindness <5360>
charity <26>.
2Pe 01:08 For <1063> if these things <5023> be <5225> (5723) in
you <5213>, and <2532> abound <4121> (5723), they make <2525>
(5719) you that ye shall neither <3756> be barren <692> nor
<3761> unfruitful <175> in <1519> the knowledge <1922> of our
<2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
2Pe 01:09 But <1063> he that <3739> lacketh <3361> <3918>
(5748) these things <5023> is <2076> (5748) blind <5185>, and
cannot see afar off <3467> (5723), and hath forgotten <3024>
<2983> (5631) that he was purged from <2512> his <846> old
<3819> sins <266>.
2Pe 01:10 Wherefore <1352> the rather <3123>, brethren <80>,
give diligence <4704> (5657) to make <4160> (5733) your <5216>
calling <2821> and <2532> election <1589> sure <949>: for <1063>
if ye do <4160> (5723) these things <5023>, ye shall <4218> <0>
<4417> <0> never <3364> fall <4218> <4417> (5661):
2Pe 01:11 For <1063> so <3779> an entrance <1529> shall be
ministered <2023> (5701) unto you <5213> abundantly <4146> into
<1519> the everlasting <166> kingdom <932> of our <2257> Lord
<2962> and <2532> Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
2Pe 01:12 ¶ Wherefore <1352> I will <272> <0> not <3756> be
negligent <272> (5692) to put <5279> <0> you <5209> always <104>
in remembrance <5279> (5721) of <4012> these things <5130>,
though <2539> ye know <1492> (5761) them, and <2532> be
established <4741> (5772) in <1722> the present <3918> (5752)
truth <225>.
2Pe 01:13 Yea <1161>, I think it <2233> (5736) meet <1342>, as
long as <1909> <3745> I am <1510> (5748) in <1722> this <5129>
tabernacle <4638>, to stir <1326> <0> you <5209> up <1326>
(5721) by <1722> putting you in remembrance <5280>;
2Pe 01:14 Knowing <1492> (5761) that <3754> shortly <5031> I
must <2076> (5748) put off <595> this my <3450> tabernacle
<4638>, even <2532> as <2531> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547> hath shewed <1213> (5656) me <3427>.
2Pe 01:15 Moreover <1161> <2532> I will endeavour <4704> (5692)
that ye <5209> may be able <2192> (5721) after <3326> my <1699>
decease <1841> to have <4160> (5733) these things <5130> always
<1539> in remembrance <3420>.
2Pe 01:16 ¶ For <1063> we have <1811> <0> not <3756> followed
<1811> (5660) cunningly devised <4679> (5772) fables <3454>,
when we made known <1107> (5656) unto you <5213> the power
<1411> and <2532> coming <3952> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus
<2424> Christ <5547>, but <235> were <1096> (5679) eyewitnesses
<2030> of his <1565> majesty <3168>.
2Pe 01:17 For <1063> he received <2983> (5631) from <3844> God
<2316> the Father <3962> honour <5092> and <2532> glory <1391>,
when there came <5342> (5685) such <5107> a voice <5456> to him
<846> from <5259> the excellent <3169> glory <1391>, This <3778>
is <2076> (5748) my <3450> beloved <27> Son <5207>, in <1519>
whom <3739> I <1473> am well pleased <2106> (5656).
2Pe 01:18 And <2532> this <5026> voice <5456> which came <5342>
(5685) from <1537> heaven <3772> we <2249> heard <191> (5656),
when we were <5607> (5752) with <4862> him <846> in <1722> the
holy <40> mount <3735>.
2Pe 01:19 ¶ We have <2192> (5719) also <2532> a more sure <949>
word <3056> of prophecy <4397>; whereunto <3739> ye do <4160>
(5719) well <2573> that ye take heed <4337> (5723), as <5613>
unto a light <3088> that shineth <5316> (5730) in <1722> a dark
<850> place <5117>, until <2193> <3739> the day <2250> dawn
<1306> (5661), and <2532> the day star <5459> arise <393> (5661)
in <1722> your <5216> hearts <2588>:
2Pe 01:20 Knowing <1097> (5723) this <5124> first <4412>, that
<3754> no <3756> <3956> prophecy <4394> of the scripture <1124>
is <1096> (5736) of any private <2398> interpretation <1955>.
2Pe 01:21 For <1063> the prophecy <4394> came <5342> (5681) not
<3756> in old time <4218> by the will <2307> of man <444>: but
<235> holy <40> men <444> of God <2316> spake <2980> (5656) as
they were moved <5342> (5746) by <5259> the Holy <40> Ghost
<4151>.
2Pe 02:01 ¶ But <1161> there were <1096> (5633) false prophets
<5578> also <2532> among <1722> the people <2992>, even <2532>
as <5613> there shall be <2071> (5704) false teachers <5572>
among <1722> you <5213>, who <3748> privily shall bring in
<3919> (5692) damnable <684> heresies <139>, even <2532> denying
<720> (5740) the Lord <1203> that bought <59> (5660) them <846>,
and bring <1863> (5723) upon themselves <1438> swift <5031>
destruction <684>.
2Pe 02:02 And <2532> many <4183> shall follow <1811> (5692)
their <846> pernicious ways <684>; by reason of <1223> whom
<3739> the way <3598> of truth <225> shall be evil spoken of
<987> (5701).
2Pe 02:03 ¶ And <2532> through <1722> covetousness <4124> shall
they with feigned <4112> words <3056> make merchandise <1710>
(5695) of you <5209>: whose <3739> judgment <2917> now of a long
time <1597> lingereth <691> (5719) not <3756>, and <2532> their
<846> damnation <684> slumbereth <3573> (5719) not <3756>.
2Pe 02:04 For <1063> if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> (5662)
not <3756> the angels <32> that sinned <264> (5660), but <235>
cast them down to hell <5020> (5660), and delivered <3860>
(5656) them into chains <4577> of darkness <2217>, to be
reserved <5083> (5772) unto <1519> judgment <2920>;
2Pe 02:05 And <2532> spared <5339> (5662) not <3756> the old
<744> world <2889>, but <235> saved <5442> (5656) Noah <3575>
the eighth <3590> person, a preacher <2783> of righteousness
<1343>, bringing in <1863> (5660) the flood <2627> upon the
world <2889> of the ungodly <765>;
2Pe 02:06 And <2532> turning <5077> <0> the cities <4172> of
Sodom <4670> and <2532> Gomorrha <1116> into ashes <5077> (5660)
condemned <2632> (5656) them with an overthrow <2692>, making
<5087> (5761) them an ensample <5262> unto those that after
should <3195> (5723) live ungodly <764> (5721);
2Pe 02:07 ¶ And <2532> delivered <4506> (5673) just <1342> Lot
<3091>, vexed <2669> (5746) with <5259> the filthy <766>
conversation <391> of <1722> the wicked <113>:
2Pe 02:08 (For <1063> that righteous man <1342> dwelling <1460>
(5723) among <1722> them <846>, in seeing <990> and <2532>
hearing <189>, vexed <928> (5707) his righteous <1342> soul
<5590> from day <2250> to <1537> day <2250> with their unlawful
<459> deeds <2041>;)
2Pe 02:09 The Lord <2962> knoweth <1492> (5758) how to deliver
<4506> (5738) the godly <2152> out of <1537> temptations <3986>,
and <1161> to reserve <5083> (5721) the unjust <94> unto <1519>
the day <2250> of judgment <2920> to be punished <2849> (5746):
2Pe 02:10 ¶ But <1161> chiefly <3122> them that walk <4198>
(5740) after <3694> the flesh <4561> in <1722> the lust <1939>
of uncleanness <3394>, and <2532> despise <2706> (5723)
government <2963>. Presumptuous <5113> are they, selfwilled
<829>, they are not <3756> afraid <5141> (5719) to speak evil
<987> (5723) of dignities <1391>.
2Pe 02:11 Whereas <3699> angels <32>, which are <5607> (5752)
greater in <3187> power <2479> and <2532> might <1411>, bring
<5342> (5719) not <3756> railing <989> accusation <2920> against
<2596> them <846> before <3844> the Lord <2962>.
2Pe 02:12 But <1161> these <3778>, as <5613> natural <5446>
brute <249> beasts <2226>, made <1080> (5772) to <1519> be taken
<259> and <2532> destroyed <5356>, speak evil <987> (5723) of
<1722> the things that <3739> they understand not <50> (5719);
and shall utterly perish <2704> (5691) in <1722> their own <846>
corruption <5356>;
2Pe 02:13 And shall receive <2865> (5697) the reward <3408> of
unrighteousness <93>, as they that count <2233> (5740) it
pleasure <2237> to riot <5172> in <1722> the day time <2250>.
Spots <4696> they are and <2532> blemishes <3470>, sporting
themselves <1792> (5723) with <1722> their own <846> deceivings
<539> while they feast <4910> (5740) with you <5213>;
2Pe 02:14 Having <2192> (5723) eyes <3788> full <3324> of
adultery <3428>, and <2532> that cannot cease from <180> sin
<266>; beguiling <1185> (5723) unstable <793> souls <5590>: an
heart <2588> they have <2192> (5723) exercised <1128> (5772)
with covetous practices <4124>; cursed <2671> children <5043>:
2Pe 02:15 Which have forsaken <2641> (5631) the right <2117>
way <3598>, and are gone astray <4105> (5681), following <1811>
(5660) the way <3598> of Balaam <903> the son of Bosor <1007>,
who <3739> loved <25> (5656) the wages <3408> of unrighteousness
<93>;
2Pe 02:16 But <1161> was <2192> (5627) rebuked <1649> for his
<2398> iniquity <3892>: the dumb <880> ass <5268> speaking
<5350> (5674) with <1722> man’s <444> voice <5456> forbad <2967>
(5656) the madness <3913> of the prophet <4396>.
2Pe 02:17 These <3778> are <1526> (5748) wells <4077> without
water <504>, clouds <3507> that are carried <1643> (5746) with
<5259> a tempest <2978>; to whom <3739> the mist <2217> of
darkness <4655> is reserved <5083> (5769) for <1519> ever <165>.
2Pe 02:18 For <1063> when they speak <5350> (5726) great
swelling <5246> words of vanity <3153>, they allure <1185>
(5719) through <1722> the lusts <1939> of the flesh <4561>,
through much wantonness <766>, those that were clean <3689>
escaped <668> (5631) from them who live <390> (5746) in <1722>
error <4106>.
2Pe 02:19 While they promise <1861> (5740) them <846> liberty
<1657>, they themselves <846> are <5225> (5723) the servants
<1401> of corruption <5356>: for <1063> of whom <3739> a man
<5100> is overcome <2274> (5766), <2532> of the same <5129> is
he brought in bondage <1402> (5769).
2Pe 02:20 For <1063> if <1487> after they have escaped <668>
(5631) the pollutions <3393> of the world <2889> through <1722>
the knowledge <1922> of the Lord <2962> and <2532> Saviour
<4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, they are <1707> <0> again
<3825> entangled <1707> (5651) therein <5125>, and <1161>
overcome <1096> (5754) <2274> (5736), the latter end <2078> is
worse <5501> with them <846> than the beginning <4413>.
2Pe 02:21 For <1063> it had been <2258> (5713) better <2909>
for them <846> not <3361> to have known <1921> (5760) the way
<3598> of righteousness <1343>, than <2228>, after they have
known <1921> (5631) it, to turn <1994> (5658) from <1537> the
holy <40> commandment <1785> delivered <3860> (5685) unto them
<846>.
2Pe 02:22 But <1161> it is happened <4819> (5758) unto them
<846> according to <3588> the true <227> proverb <3942>, The dog
<2965> is turned <1994> <0> to <1909> his own <2398> vomit
<1829> again <1994> (5660); and <2532> the sow <5300> that was
washed <3068> (5671) to <1519> her wallowing <2946> in the mire
<1004>.
2Pe 03:01 ¶ This <5026> second <1208> epistle <1992>, beloved
<27>, I <1125> <0> now <2235> write <1125> (5719) unto you
<5213>; in <1722> both which <3739> I stir up <1326> (5719) your
<5216> pure <1506> minds <1271> by way <1722> of remembrance
<5280>:
2Pe 03:02 That ye may be mindful <3415> (5683) of the words
<4487> which were spoken before <4280> (5772) by <5259> the holy
<40> prophets <4396>, and <2532> of the commandment <1785> of us
<2257> the apostles <652> of the Lord <2962> and <2532> Saviour
<4990>:
2Pe 03:03 ¶ Knowing <1097> (5723) this <5124> first <4412>, that
<3754> there shall come <2064> (5695) in <1909> the last <2078>
days <2250> scoffers <1703>, walking <4198> (5740) after <2596>
their <846> own <2398> lusts <1939>,
2Pe 03:04 And <2532> saying <3004> (5723), Where <4226> is
<2076> (5748) the promise <1860> of his <846> coming <3952>? for
<1063> since <575> <3739> the fathers <3962> fell asleep <2837>
(5681), all things <3956> continue <3779> <1265> (5719) as they
were from <575> the beginning <746> of the creation <2937>.
2Pe 03:05 For <1063> this <5124> they <846> willingly <2309>
(5723) are ignorant of <2990> (5719), that <3754> by the word
<3056> of God <2316> the heavens <3772> were <2258> (5713) of
old <1597>, and <2532> the earth <1093> standing <4921> (5761)
out of <1537> the water <5204> and <2532> in <1223> the water
<5204>:
2Pe 03:06 Whereby <1223> <3739> the world <2889> that then was
<5119>, being overflowed <2626> (5685) with water <5204>,
perished <622> (5639):
2Pe 03:07 But <1161> the heavens <3772> and <2532> the earth
<1093>, which are now <3568>, by the same <846> word <3056> are
<1526> (5748) kept in store <2343> (5772), reserved <5083>
(5746) unto fire <4442> against <1519> the day <2250> of
judgment <2920> and <2532> perdition <684> of ungodly <765> men
<444>.
2Pe 03:08 ¶ But <1161>, beloved <27>, be <2990> <0> not <3361>
<5209> ignorant <2990> (5720) of this one <1520> thing <5124>,
that <3754> one <3391> day <2250> is with <3844> the Lord <2962>
as <5613> a thousand <5507> years <2094>, and <2532> a thousand
<5507> years <2094> as <5613> one <3391> day <2250>.
2Pe 03:09 ¶ The Lord <2962> is <1019> <0> not <3756> slack
<1019> (5719) concerning his promise <1860>, as <5613> some men
<5100> count <2233> (5736) slackness <1022>; but <235> is
longsuffering <3114> (5719) to <1519> us-ward <2248>, not <3361>
willing <1014> (5740) that any <5100> should perish <622> (5641),
but <235> that all <3956> should come <5562> (5658) to <1519>
repentance <3341>.
2Pe 03:10 But <1161> the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> will
come <2240> (5692) as <5613> a thief <2812> in <1722> the night
<3571>; in <1722> the which <3739> the heavens <3772> shall pass
away <3928> (5695) with a great noise <4500>, and <1161> the
elements <4747> shall melt <3089> (5701) with fervent heat
<2741> (5746), the earth <1093> also <2532> and <2532> the works
<2041> that are therein <1722> <846> shall be burned up <2618>
(5691).
2Pe 03:11 ¶ Seeing then <3767> that all <3956> these things
<5130> shall be dissolved <3089> (5746), what manner <4217> of
persons ought <1163> (5748) ye <5209> to be <5225> (5721) in
<1722> all holy <40> conversation <391> and <2532> godliness
<2150>,
2Pe 03:12 Looking for <4328> (5723) and <2532> hasting <4692>
(5723) unto the coming <3952> of the day <2250> of God <2316>,
wherein <1223> <3739> the heavens <3772> being on fire <4448>
(5746) shall be dissolved <3089> (5701), and <2532> the elements
<4747> shall melt <5080> (5743) with fervent heat <2741> (5746)?
2Pe 03:13 Nevertheless <1161> we <4328> <0>, according to
<2596> his <846> promise <1862>, look for <4328> (5719) new
<2537> heavens <3772> and <2532> a new <2537> earth <1093>,
wherein <1722> <3739> dwelleth <2730> (5719) righteousness
<1343>.
2Pe 03:14 Wherefore <1352>, beloved <27>, seeing that ye look
for <4328> (5723) such things <5023>, be diligent <4704> (5657)
that ye may be found <2147> (5683) of him <846> in <1722> peace
<1515>, without spot <784>, and <2532> blameless <298>.
2Pe 03:15 And <2532> account <2233> (5737) that the
longsuffering <3115> of our <2257> Lord <2962> is salvation
<4991>; even as <2531> our <2257> beloved <27> brother <80> Paul
<3972> also <2532> according to <2596> the wisdom <4678> given
<1325> (5685) unto him <846> hath written <1125> (5656) unto you
<5213>;
2Pe 03:16 As <5613> also <2532> in <1722> all <3956> his
epistles <1992>, speaking <2980> (5723) in <1722> them <846> of
<4012> these things <5130>; in <1722> which <3739> are <2076>
(5748) some things <5100> hard to be understood <1425>, which
<3739> they that are unlearned <261> and <2532> unstable <793>
wrest <4761> (5719), as <5613> they do also <2532> the other
<3062> scriptures <1124>, unto <4314> their <846> own <2398>
destruction <684>.
2Pe 03:17 Ye <5210> therefore <3767>, beloved <27>, seeing ye
know these things before <4267> (5723), beware <5442> (5732)
lest <3363> ye also <1601> <0>, being led away <4879> (5685)
with the error <4106> of the wicked <113>, fall from <1601>
(5632) your own <2398> stedfastness <4740>.
2Pe 03:18 But <1161> grow <837> (5720) in <1722> grace <5485>,
and <2532> in the knowledge <1108> of our <2257> Lord <2962> and
<2532> Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. To him <846>
be glory <1391> both <2532> now <3568> and <2532> for <1519>
ever <165> <2250>. Amen <281>.
