1SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG3588G2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG1473 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG3588G2316 andG2532 ourG1473 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 2GraceG5485 andG2532 peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129 unto youG4771 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 of JesusG2424 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962, 3According asG5613 hisG846 divineG2304 powerG1411 hath givenG1433 unto usG1473 all thingsG3956 thatG3588 pertain untoG4314 lifeG2222 andG2532 godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the knowledgeG3588G1922 of him that hath calledG2564 usG1473 toG1223 gloryG1391 andG2532 virtueG703: 4WherebyG1223 are givenG1433 unto usG1473 exceeding greatG3173 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG3778 ye might beG1096 partakersG2844 of theG5449 divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
5AndG2532 besideG846 thisG3778, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG4771 faithG3588G4102 virtueG3588G703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG3588G703 knowledgeG3588G1108; 6AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG3588G1108 temperanceG3588G1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG3588G1466 patienceG3588G5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG3588G5281 godlinessG3588G2150; 7AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG3588G2150 brotherly kindnessG3588G5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG3588G5360 charityG3588G26. 8ForG1063 ifG5225 these thingsG3778 beG5225 in youG4771, andG2532 aboundG4121, they makeG2525 you that ye shall neitherG3756 be barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 inG1519 the knowledgeG3588G1922 ofG3588G2962 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 9ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3918 these thingsG3778 isG1510 blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467, and hathG2983 forgottenG3024 that he was purgedG3588G2512 fromG3588G266 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG3588G266.
10WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704 to makeG4160 yourG4771 callingG3588G2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160 these thingsG3778, ye shallG4417 neverG3756 fallG4417: 11ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG3588G1529 shall be ministeredG2023 unto youG4771 abundantlyG4146 intoG1519 the everlastingG3588G166 kingdomG932 ofG3588G2962 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
12WhereforeG1352 I willG272 notG3756 be negligentG272 to putG5279 youG4771 alwaysG104 in remembranceG5279 ofG4012 these thingsG3778, thoughG2539 ye knowG1492 them, andG2532 be establishedG4741 inG1722 the presentG3588G3918 truthG225. 13YeaG1161, I think itG2233 meetG1342, as long asG3745 I amG1510 inG1722 thisG3778 tabernacleG3588G4638, to stirG1326 youG4771 upG1326 by puttingG5280 you inG1722 remembranceG5280; 14KnowingG1492 thatG3754 shortlyG5031 I must put offG3588G595 this myG1473 tabernacleG3588G4638, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath shewedG1213 meG1473. 15MoreoverG1161 I will endeavour thatG4704 yeG4771 may be ableG4160 afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to haveG2192 these thingsG3778 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
16ForG1063 we haveG1811 notG3756 followedG1811 cunningly devisedG4679 fablesG3454, when we made knownG1107 unto youG4771 the powerG3588G1411 andG2532 comingG3952 ofG3588G2962 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG2030 ofG3588G3168 hisG1565 majestyG3588G3168. 17ForG1063 he receivedG2983 fromG3844 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391, when there cameG5342 suchG5107 a voiceG5456 to himG846 fromG5259 theG1391 excellentG3169 gloryG1391, ThisG3778 isG1510 myG1473 belovedG27 SonG3588G5207, inG1519 whomG3739 IG1473 am well pleasedG2106. 18AndG2532 thisG3778 voiceG3588G5456 which cameG5342 fromG1537 heavenG3772 weG1473 heardG191, when we wereG1510 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 the holyG3588G40 mountG3588G3735. 19We haveG2192 alsoG2532 aG3056 more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, as untoG5613 a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 aG5117 darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588: 20KnowingG1097 thisG3778 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756 prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096 ofG1955 anyG3956 privateG2398 interpretationG1955. 21ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG3588G444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151.
