2 Peter 1:12-18

12Therefore, I will always remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught.

13And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live.

14For our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that I must soon leave this earthly life,

15so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.

16For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes

17when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”

18We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
