2 Peter 1:12-18

12Therefore, 1I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in 2the truth which is present with you. 13I consider it 3right, as long as I am in 4this earthly dwelling, to 5stir you up by way of reminder, 14knowing that 6the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, 7as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will also be diligent that at any time after my 8departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

16For we did not follow cleverly devised 9tales when we made known to you the 10power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were 11eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an 12 13utterance as this was 14made to Him by the 15Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”-- 18and we ourselves heard this 16utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the 17holy mountain.
