| 1:1 | Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God even our Savior Jesus Christ: |
| 1:2 | Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, |
| 1:3 | in the same way as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue, |
| 1:4 | by which are given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. |
| 1:5 | And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, |
| 1:6 | and to knowledge self control, and to self control perseverance, and to perseverance godliness, |
| 1:7 | And to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. |
| 1:8 | Because, if these things are in you and abound, they make you that you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | But he who lacks these things is short sighted and blind, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. |
| 1:10 | Therefore instead brethren, be diligent to make your calling and election certain, because if you do these things you will never fall; |
| 1:11 | because, then an entrance will be provided for you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. |
| 1:12 | Therefore I will not be negligent to constantly remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth. |
| 1:13 | Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you, |
| 1:14 | knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. |
| 1:15 | Moreover I will endeavor that after my decease you may be able to have these things in remembrance. |
| 1:16 | Because, we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. |
| 1:17 | Because, He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." |
| 1:18 | And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. |
| 1:19 | We also have an additional confirmed word of prophecy, which you do well to observe as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the day star rises in your hearts; |
| 1:20 | knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation. |
| 1:21 | because, the prophecy in old times did not come by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:1 | Simon Peter a seruant and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to you which haue obteined like precious faith with vs by the righteousnesse of our God and Sauiour Iesus Christ: |
| 1:2 | Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord, |
| 1:3 | According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that perteine vnto life and godlinesse, through the acknowledging of him that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue. |
| 1:4 | Whereby most great and precious promises are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should be partakers of the diuine nature, in that ye flee the corruption, which is in the worlde through lust. |
| 1:5 | Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge: |
| 1:6 | And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines: |
| 1:7 | And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue. |
| 1:8 | For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ: |
| 1:9 | For he that hath not these things, is blinde, and can not see farre off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes. |
| 1:10 | Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall. |
| 1:11 | For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ. |
| 1:12 | Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though that ye haue knowledge, and be stablished in the present trueth. |
| 1:13 | For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance, |
| 1:14 | Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed me. |
| 1:15 | I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing. |
| 1:16 | For we followed not deceiuable fables when we opened vnto you the power, and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our eyes we saw his maiestie: |
| 1:17 | For he receiued of God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voyce to him from that excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased. |
| 1:18 | And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount. |
| 1:19 | We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts. |
| 1:20 | So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation. |
| 1:21 | For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost. |
| 1:1 | Simon Peter a seruaunt and an Apostle of Iesus Christ to them which have obtayned lyke precious fayth with vs in the rightewesnes that commeth of oure God and savioure Iesus Christ. |
| 1:2 | Grace with you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Iesus oure Lorde. |
| 1:3 | Accordinge as his godly power hath geven vnto vs all thinges that pertayne vnto lyfe and godlynes thorow the knowledge of him that hath called vs by vertue and glory |
| 1:4 | by the meanes whereof are geven vnto vs excellent and moste greate promises that by the helpe of them ye shuld be partakers of the godly nature in that ye flye the corrupcion of worldy lust. |
| 1:5 | And hervnto geve all diligence: in youre fayth minister vertve and in vertue knowledge |
| 1:6 | and in knowledge temperancy and in temrancy pacience in pacience godlynes |
| 1:7 | in godlynes brotherly kyndnes in brotherly kyndnes love. |
| 1:8 | For yf these thinges be amonge you and are plenteous they wyll make you that ye nether shalbe ydle nor vnfrutefull in the knowledge of oure lorde Iesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | But he yt lacketh these thynges is blynde and gropeth for ye waye with his honde and hath forgotten yt he was pourged from his olde synnes. |
| 1:10 | Wherfore brethren geve the moare diligence forto make youre callynge and eleccion sure. For yf ye do soche thynges ye shall never erre. |
| 1:11 | Ye and by this meanes an entrynge in shall be ministred vnto you aboundantly in to the everlastynge kyngdome of oure lorde and saveoure Iesus Christ. |
| 1:12 | Wherfore I will not be necgligent to put you allwayes in remembraunce of soche thinges though that ye knowe them youre selves and be also stablisshed in the present trueth. |
| 1:13 | Notwithstodinge I thynke yt mete (as longe as I am in this tabernacle) to stere you vp by puttynge you in remebraunce |
| 1:14 | for as moch as I am sure howe that the tyme is at honde yt I must put of my tabernacle even as oure lorde Iesus Christ hath shewed me. |
| 1:15 | I will enfource therfore that on every syde ye myght have wherwith to stere vp the remembraunce of these thynges after my departynge. |
| 1:16 | For we folowed not decevable fables whe we openned vnto you the power and commynge of oure lorde Iesus Christ but with oure eyes we sawe his maieste: |
| 1:17 | even then verely when he receaved of god the father honour and glory and when ther came soche a voyce to him from excellent glorie. This is my dere beloved sonne in whom I have delite. |
| 1:18 | This voyce we hearde when it came from heven beynge with him in the holy mounte. |
| 1:19 | We have also a right sure worde of prophesye wher vnto yf ye take hede as vnto a lyght yt shyneth in a darke place ye do wel vntill the daye dawne and the daye starre aryse in youre hertes. |
| 1:20 | So that ye fyrst knowe this. that no prophesye in the scripture hath eny private interpretacio. |
| 1:21 | For the scripture came never by the will of man: but holy men of god spake as they were moved by the holy goost. |
