| 1:21 | For the prophecie was neuer broughte by the wyll of man, but the holy men of God spake, as they were moued of ye holy goost. |
| 1:1 | Simount Petre, seruaunt and apostle of `Jhesu Crist, to hem that han take with vs the euene feith, in the riytwisnesse of oure God and sauyour Jhesu Crist, |
| 1:2 | grace and pees be fillid to you, bi the knowing of oure Lord Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:3 | Hou alle thingis of his godlich vertu, that ben to lijf and pitee, ben youun to vs, bi the knowyng of hym, that clepide vs for his owne glorie and vertu. |
| 1:4 | Bi whom he yaf to vs moost preciouse biheestis; that bi these thingis ye schulen be maad felows of Goddis kynde, and fle the corrupcioun of that coueytise, that is in the world. |
| 1:5 | And bringe ye in alle bisynesse, and mynystre ye in youre feith vertu, and `in vertu kunnyng; |
| 1:6 | in kunnyng abstinence, in abstynence pacience, in pacience pitee; |
| 1:7 | in pitee, love of britherhod, and in loue of britherhod charite. |
| 1:8 | For if these ben with you, and ouercomen, thei schulen not make you voide, nethir with out fruyt, in the knowyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist. |

| 1:11 | for ye doynge these thingis schulen not do synne ony tyme. For thus the entryng in to euerlastynge kyngdom of oure Lord and sauyour Jhesu Crist, schal be mynystrid to you plenteuousli. |
| 1:12 | For which thing Y schal bigynne to moneste you euere more of these thingis; and Y wole that ye be kunnynge, and confermyd in this present treuthe. |

| 1:15 | But Y schal yyue bisynesse, and ofte after my deth ye haue mynde of these thingis. |
| 1:16 | For we not suynge vnwise talis, han maad knowun to you the vertu and the biforknowyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist; but we weren maad biholderis of his greetnesse. |
| 1:17 | For he took of God the fadir onour and glorie, bi siche maner vois slidun doun to hym fro the greet glorie, This is my loued sone, in whom Y haue plesid to me; here ye hym. |
