2Peter 1

1. Simon <4613> Peter <4074>, a servant <1401> and an apostle

<652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to them that have obtained

<2975> like <2472> precious <2472> faith <4102> with us through

<1722> the righteousness <1343> of God <2316> and our Saviour

<4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:

2 Grace <5485> and peace <1515> be multiplied <4129> unto you

through <1722> the knowledge <1922> of God <2316>, and of Jesus

<2424> our Lord <2962>,

3 According <5613> as his divine <2304> power <1411> hath

given <1433> unto us all <3956> things that [pertain] unto life

<2222> and godliness <2150>, through <1223> the knowledge <1922>

of him that hath called <2564> us to glory <1391> and virtue

<703>:

4 Whereby <3739> are given <1433> unto us exceeding great

<3176> and precious <5093> promises <1862>: that by these <5130>

ye might be partakers <2844> of the divine <2304> nature <5449>,

having escaped <668> the corruption <5356> that is in the world

<2889> through <1722> lust <1939>.

5. And beside <846> this <5124>, giving <3923> all diligence

<4710>, add <2023> to your <5216> faith <4102> virtue <703>; and

to virtue <703> knowledge <1108>;

6 And to knowledge <1108> temperance <1466>; and to temperance

<1466> patience <5281>; and to patience <5281> godliness <2150>;

7 And to godliness <2150> brotherly <5360> kindness <5360>;

and to brotherly <5360> kindness <5360> charity <26>.

8 For if these <5023> things be in you, and abound <4121>,

they make <2525> [you that ye shall] neither <3756> [be] barren

<692> nor <3761> unfruitful <175> in the knowledge <1922> of our

Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

9 But he that lacketh <3918> these <5023> things is blind

<5185>, and cannot <3467> see <3467> afar <3467> off, and hath

forgotten <2983> that he was purged <2512> from his old <3819>

sins <266>.

10 Wherefore <1352> the rather <3123>, brethren <80>, give

diligence <4710> to make <4160> your <5216> calling <2821> and

election <1589> sure <949>: for if ye do <4160> these <5023>

things, ye shall never <4219> fall <4417>:

11 For so <3779> an entrance <1529> shall be ministered <2023>

unto you abundantly <4146> into <1519> the everlasting <166>

kingdom <932> of our Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424>

Christ <5547>.

12. Wherefore <1352> I will not be negligent <272> to put

<5279> you always <104> in remembrance <5179> of these <5130>

things, though <2539> ye know <1492> [them], and be established

<4741> in the present <3918> truth <225>.

13 Yea <1161>, I think <2233> it meet <1342>, as long as I am

<1510> in this <5129> tabernacle <4638>, to stir <1326> you up

by putting <5279> [you] in remembrance <5280>;

14 Knowing <1492> that shortly <5031> I must put <595> off

<595> [this <3588>] my tabernacle <4638>, even <2532> as our

Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> hath shewed <1213> me.

15 Moreover <2532> I will endeavour <4704> that ye may be able

<2192> after <3326> my decease <1841> to have these <5130>

things always <1539> in remembrance <3420>.

16. For we have not followed <1811> cunningly devised <4679>

fables <3454>, when we made <1107> known <1107> unto you the

power <1411> and coming <3952> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>

Christ <5547>, but were eyewitnesses <2030> of his majesty

<3168>.

17 For he received <2983> from God <2316> the Father <3962>

honour <5092> and glory <1391>, when there came <5342> such

<5107> a voice <5456> to him from the excellent <3169> glory

<1391>, This <3778> is my beloved <27> Son <5207>, in whom

<3739> I am well <2106> pleased <2106>.

18 And this <5026> voice <5456> which came <5342> from heaven

<3772> we heard <191>, when we were with him in the holy <40>

mount <3735>.

19. We have <2192> also <2532> a more sure <949> word <3056> of

prophecy <4397>; whereunto <3739> ye do <4160> well <2573> that

ye take heed <433>, as unto a light <3088> that shineth <5316>

in a dark <850> place <5117>, until <2193> the day <2250> dawn

<1306>, and the day <5459> star <5459> arise <393> in your

<5216> hearts <2588>:

20 Knowing <1097> this <5124> first <4412>, that no <3756>

prophecy <4394> of the scripture <1124> is of any private <2398>

interpretation <1955>.

21 For the prophecy <4394> came <5342> not in old <4218> time

<4218> by the will <2307> of man <444>: but holy <40> men <444>

of God <2316> spake <2980> [as they were] moved <5342> by the

Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.

2Peter 2

1. But there were false <5578> prophets <5578> also <2532>

among <1722> the people <2992>, even <2532> as there shall be

false <5572> teachers <5572> among <1722> you, who <3748>

privily <3919> shall bring <3918> in damnable <684> heresies

<139>, even <2532> denying <720> the Lord <1203> that bought

<59> them, and bring <3918> upon themselves <1438> swift <5031>

destruction <684>.

2 And many <4183> shall follow <1811> their pernicious <684>

ways <684>; by reason <1223> of whom <3739> the way <3598> of

truth <225> shall be evil <987> spoken <987> of.

3. And through <1722> covetousness <4124> shall they with

feigned <4112> words <3056> make <1710> merchandise of you:

whose <3739> judgment <2917> now of a long time <1597> lingereth

<691> not, and their damnation <684> slumbereth <3573> not.

4 For if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> not the angels <32>

that sinned <264>, but cast <5020> [them] down to hell <5020>,

and delivered <3860> [them] into chains <4577> of darkness

<2217>, to be reserved <5083> unto judgment <2920>;

5 And spared <5339> not the old <744> world <2889>, but saved

<5442> Noah <3575> the eighth <3590> [person], a preacher <2783>

of righteousness <1343>, bringing <1863> in the flood <2627>

upon the world <2889> of the ungodly <765>;

6 And turning <5077> the cities <4172> of Sodom <4670> and

Gomorrha <1116> into ashes <5077> condemned <2632> [them] with

an overthrow <2692>, making <4160> [them] an ensample <5262>

unto those <3588> that after <3195> should <3195> live ungodly

<764>;

7. And delivered <4506> just <1342> Lot <3091>, vexed <2669>

with the filthy <766> conversation <391> of the wicked <113>:

8 (For that righteous <1342> man dwelling <1460> among <1722>

them, in seeing <990> and hearing <189>, vexed <928> [his]

righteous <1342> soul <5590> from day <2250> to day <2250> with

[their] unlawful <459> deeds <2041>;)

9 The Lord <2962> knoweth <1492> how to deliver <4506> the

godly <2152> out of temptations <3986>, and to reserve <5083>

the unjust <94> unto the day <2250> of judgment <2920> to be

punished <2849>:

10. But chiefly <3122> them that walk <4198> after <3694> the

flesh <4561> in the lust <1939> of uncleanness <3394>, and

despise <2706> government <2963>. Presumptuous <5113> [are they],

selfwilled <829>, they are not afraid <5141> to speak <987>

evil <987> of dignities <1391>.

11 Whereas <3699> angels <32>, which are greater <3187> in

power <2479> and might <1411>, bring <5342> not railing <989>

accusation <2920> against <2596> them before <3844> the Lord

<2962>.

12 But these <3778>, as natural <5446> brute <249> beasts

<2226>, made <1080> to be taken <259> and destroyed <5356>,

speak <987> evil <987> of the things that they understand <50>

not; and shall utterly <2704> perish <2704> in their own <848>

corruption <5356>;

13 And shall receive <2865> the reward <3408> of

unrighteousness <93>, [as] they that count <2233> it pleasure

<2237> to riot <5172> in the day <2250> time. Spots <4696> [they

are] and blemishes <3470>, sporting <1792> themselves with their

own <848> deceivings <539> while they feast <4910> with you;

14 Having <2192> eyes <3788> full <3324> of adultery <3428>,

and that cannot <180> cease <180> from sin <266>; beguiling

<1185> unstable <793> souls <5590>: an heart <2588> they have

<2192> exercised <1128> with covetous <4124> practices; cursed

<2671> children <5043>:

15 Which have forsaken <2641> the right <2117> way <3598>, and

are gone <4105> astray <4105>, following <1811> the way <3598>

of Balaam <903> [the son] of Bosor <1007>, who <3739> loved <25>

the wages <3408> of unrighteousness <93>;

16 But was rebuked <1649> for his iniquity <3892>: the dumb

<880> ass <5268> speaking <5350> with man's <444> voice <5456>

forbad <2967> the madness <3913> of the prophet <4396>.

17 These <3778> are wells <4077> without <504> water <504>,

clouds <3507> that are carried <1643> with a tempest <2978>; to

whom <3739> the mist <2217> of darkness <4655> is reserved

<5083> for ever <165>.

18 For when they speak <5350> great <5246> swelling <5246>

[words] of vanity <3153>, they allure <1185> through <1722> the

lusts <1939> of the flesh <4561>, [through much] wantonness

<766>, those <3588> that were clean <3689> escaped <668> from

them who live <390> in error <4106>.

19 While they promise <1861> them liberty <1657>, they

themselves <846> are the servants <1401> of corruption <5356>:

for of whom <3739> a man <5100> is overcome <2274>, of the same

<3778> is he brought <1402> in bondage <1402>.

20 For if <1487> after they have escaped <668> the pollutions

<3393> of the world <2889> through <1722> the knowledge <1922>

of the Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,

they are again <3825> entangled <1707> therein <5125>, and

overcome <2274>, the latter <2078> end <2078> is worse <5501>

with them than the beginning <4413>.

21 For it had been <2258> better <2909> for them not to have

known <1921> the way <3598> of righteousness <1343>, than <2228>,

after they have known <1921> [it], to turn <1994> from the holy

<40> commandment <1785> delivered <3860> unto them.

22 But it is happened <4819> unto them according to the true

<227> proverb <3942>, The dog <2965> [is] turned <1994> to his

own <2398> vomit <1829> again <1994>; and the sow <5300> that

was washed <3068> to her wallowing <2946> in the mire <1004>.

2Peter 3

1. This <5026> second <1208> epistle <1992>, beloved <27>, I

now <2236> write <1125> unto you; in [both] which <3739> I stir

<1326> up your <5216> pure <1506> minds <1271> by way <1722> of

remembrance <5280>:

2 That ye may be mindful <3403> of the words <4487> which were

spoken <4280> before <4280> by the holy <40> prophets <4396>,

and of the commandment <1785> of us the apostles <652> of the

Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990>:

3. Knowing <1097> this <5124> first <4412>, that there shall

come <2064> in the last <2078> days <2250> scoffers <1703>,

walking <4198> after <2596> their own <2398> lusts <1939>,

4 And saying <3004>, Where <4226> is the promise <1860> of his

coming <3952>? for since <3739> the fathers <3962> fell asleep

<2837>, all <3956> things continue <1265> as [they were] from

the beginning <746> of the creation <2937>.

5 For this <5124> they willingly <2309> are ignorant <2990> of,

that by the word <3056> of God <2316> the heavens <3772> were

of old <1597>, and the earth <1093> standing <4921> out of the

water <5204> and in the water <5204>:

6 Whereby <3739> the world <2889> that then <5119> was, being

overflowed <2626> with water <5204>, perished <622>:

7 But the heavens <3772> and the earth <1093>, which are now

<3568>, by the same <846> word <3056> are kept <2343> in store

<2343>, reserved <5083> unto fire <4442> against <1519> the day

<2250> of judgment <2920> and perdition <684> of ungodly <765>

men <444>.

8. But, beloved <27>, be not ignorant <2990> of this <5124> one

<1520> thing, that one <3391> day <2250> [is] with the Lord

<2962> as a thousand <5507> years <2094>, and a thousand <5507>

years <2094> as one <3391> day <2250>.

9. The Lord <2962> is not slack <1019> concerning <4314> his

promise <1860>, as some <5100> men count <2233> slackness <1022>;

but is longsuffering to us-ward <2248>, not willing <1014> that

any <5100> should perish <622>, but that all <3956> should come

<5562> to repentance <3341>.

10 But the day <2250> of the Lord <2962> will come <2240> as a

thief <2812> in the night <3571>; in the which <3739> the

heavens <3772> shall pass <3928> away with a great noise <4500>,

and the elements <4747> shall melt <3089> with fervent heat

<2741>, the earth <1093> also <2532> and the works <2041> that

are therein <846> shall be burned <2618> up.

11. [Seeing] then <3767> [that] all <3956> these <5130> things

shall be dissolved <3089>, what <4217> manner <4217> [of

persons] ought <1163> ye to be in [all] holy <40> conversation

<391> and godliness <2150>,

12 Looking <4328> for and hasting <4692> unto the coming

<3952> of the day <2250> of God <2316>, wherein <3757> the

heavens <3772> being on fire <4448> shall be dissolved <3089>,

and the elements <4747> shall melt <5080> with fervent heat

<2741>?

13 Nevertheless <1161> we, according <2596> to his promise

<1862>, look <4328> for new <2537> heavens <3772> and a new

<2537> earth <1093>, wherein <3757> dwelleth <2730>

righteousness <1343>.

14 Wherefore <1352>, beloved <27>, seeing that ye look <4328>

for such <5023> things, be diligent <4704> that ye may be found

<2147> of him in peace <1515>, without <784> spot <784>, and

blameless <298>.

15 And account <2233> [that] the longsuffering <3115> of our

Lord <2962> [is] salvation <4991>; even <2531> as our beloved

<27> brother <80> Paul <3972> also <2532> according <2596> to

the wisdom <4678> given <1325> unto him hath written <1125> unto

you;

16 As also <2532> in all <3956> [his] epistles <1992>,

speaking <2980> in them of these <5130> things; in which <3739>

are some <5100> things hard <1425> to be understood <1425>,

which <3739> they that are unlearned <261> and unstable <793>

wrest <4761>, as [they do] also <2532> the other <3062>

scriptures <1124>, unto their own <2398> destruction <684>.

17 Ye therefore <3767>, beloved <27>, seeing ye know <4267>

[these things] before <4267>, beware <5442> lest <3361> ye also

<4879>, being led <4879> away <4879> with the error <4106> of

the wicked <113>, fall <1601> from your <3588> own <2398>

stedfastness <4740>.

18 But grow <837> in grace <5485>, and [in] the knowledge

<1108> of our Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ

<5547>. To him [be] glory <1391> both <2532> now <3568> and for

ever <165>. Amen <281>.
