2Peter 1
1. Simon <4613> Peter <4074>, a servant <1401> and an apostle <0652> 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 <0703>:
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 <0668> the corruption <5356> that is in the world <2889> through <1722> lust <1939>.
5. And beside <0846> this <5124>, giving <3923> all diligence <4710>, add <2023> to your <5216> faith <4102> virtue <0703>; and to virtue <0703> 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 <0026>.
8 For if these <5023> things be in you, and abound <4121>, they make <2525> [you that ye shall] neither <3756> [be] barren <0692> nor <3761> unfruitful <0175> 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 <0266>.
10 Wherefore <1352> the rather <3123>, brethren <0080>, give diligence <4710> to make <4160> your <5216> calling <2821> and election <1589> sure <0949>: 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 <0166> kingdom <0932> of our Lord <2962> and Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
12. Wherefore <1352> I will not be negligent <0272> to put <5279> you always <0104> in remembrance <5179> of these <5130> things, though <2539> ye know <1492> [them], and be established <4741> in the present <3918> truth <0225>.
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 <0595> off <0595> [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 <0027> 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 <0191>, when we were with him in the holy <0040> mount <3735>.
19. We have <2192> also <2532> a more sure <0949> word <3056> of prophecy <4397>; whereunto <3739> ye do <4160> well <2573> that ye take heed <0433>, as unto a light <3088> that shineth <5316> in a dark <0850> place <5117>, until <2193> the day <2250> dawn <1306>, and the day <5459> star <5459> arise <0393> 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 <0444>: but holy <0040> men <0444> of God <2316> spake <2980> [as they were] moved <5342> by the Holy <0040> 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 <0684> heresies <0139>, even <2532> denying <0720> the Lord <1203> that bought <0059> them, and bring <3918> upon themselves <1438> swift <5031> destruction <0684>.
2 And many <4183> shall follow <1811> their pernicious <0684> ways <0684>; by reason <1223> of whom <3739> the way <3598> of truth <0225> shall be evil <0987> spoken <0987> 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 <0691> not, and their damnation <0684> slumbereth <3573> not.
4 For if <1487> God <2316> spared <5339> not the angels <0032> that sinned <0264>, 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 <0744> 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 <0765>;
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 <0764>;
7. And delivered <4506> just <1342> Lot <3091>, vexed <2669> with the filthy <0766> conversation <0391> of the wicked <0113>:
8 (For that righteous <1342> man dwelling <1460> among <1722> them, in seeing <0990> and hearing <0189>, vexed <0928> [his] righteous <1342> soul <5590> from day <2250> to day <2250> with [their] unlawful <0459> 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 <0094> 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 <0829>, they are not afraid <5141> to speak <0987> evil <0987> of dignities <1391>.
11 Whereas <3699> angels <0032>, which are greater <3187> in power <2479> and might <1411>, bring <5342> not railing <0989> accusation <2920> against <2596> them before <3844> the Lord <2962>.
12 But these <3778>, as natural <5446> brute <0249> beasts <2226>, made <1080> to be taken <0259> and destroyed <5356>, speak <0987> evil <0987> of the things that they understand <0050> not; and shall utterly <2704> perish <2704> in their own <0848> corruption <5356>;
13 And shall receive <2865> the reward <3408> of unrighteousness <0093>, [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 <0848> deceivings <0539> while they feast <4910> with you;
14 Having <2192> eyes <3788> full <3324> of adultery <3428>, and that cannot <0180> cease <0180> from sin <0266>; beguiling <1185> unstable <0793> 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 <0903> [the son] of Bosor <1007>, who <3739> loved <0025> the wages <3408> of unrighteousness <0093>;
16 But was rebuked <1649> for his iniquity <3892>: the dumb <0880> ass <5268> speaking <5350> with man's <0444> voice <5456> forbad <2967> the madness <3913> of the prophet <4396>.
17 These <3778> are wells <4077> without <0504> water <0504>, clouds <3507> that are carried <1643> with a tempest <2978>; to whom <3739> the mist <2217> of darkness <4655> is reserved <5083> for ever <0165>.
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 <0766>, those <3588> that were clean <3689> escaped <0668> from them who live <0390> in error <4106>.
19 While they promise <1861> them liberty <1657>, they themselves <0846> 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 <0668> 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 <0040> commandment <1785> delivered <3860> unto them.
22 But it is happened <4819> unto them according to the true <0227> 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 <0027>, 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 <0040> prophets <4396>, and of the commandment <1785> of us the apostles <0652> 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 <0746> 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 <0622>:
7 But the heavens <3772> and the earth <1093>, which are now <3568>, by the same <0846> word <3056> are kept <2343> in store <2343>, reserved <5083> unto fire <4442> against <1519> the day <2250> of judgment <2920> and perdition <0684> of ungodly <0765> men <0444>.
8. But, beloved <0027>, 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 <0622>, 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 <0846> 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 <0040> conversation <0391> 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 <0027>, seeing that ye look <4328> for such <5023> things, be diligent <4704> that ye may be found <2147> of him in peace <1515>, without <0784> spot <0784>, and blameless <0298>.
15 And account <2233> [that] the longsuffering <3115> of our Lord <2962> [is] salvation <4991>; even <2531> as our beloved <0027> brother <0080> 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 <0261> and unstable <0793> wrest <4761>, as [they do] also <2532> the other <3062> scriptures <1124>, unto their own <2398> destruction <0684>.
17 Ye therefore <3767>, beloved <0027>, 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 <0113>, fall <1601> from your <3588> own <2398> stedfastness <4740>.
18 But grow <0837> 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 <0165>. Amen <0281>.
