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.
1:9	But to whom these ben not redi, he is blynd, and gropith with his hoond, and foryetith the purgyng of his elde trespassis.
1:10	Wherfor, britheren, be ye more bisi, that by goode werkis ye make youre clepyng and chesyng certeyn;
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.
1:13	Forsothe Y deme iustli, as long as Y am in this tabernacle, to reise you in monesting; and Y am certeyn,
1:14	that the putting awei of my tabernacle is swift, bi this that oure Lord Jhesu Crist hath schewid to me.
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.
1:18	And we herden this vois brouyt from heuene, whanne we weren with hym in the hooli hil.
1:19	And we han a saddere word of prophecie, to which ye yyuynge tent don wel, as to a lanterne that yyueth liyt in a derk place, til the dai bigynne to yyue liyt, and the dai sterre sprenge in youre hertis.
1:20	And firste vndurstonde ye this thing, that ech prophesie of scripture is not maad bi propre interpretacioun;
1:21	for prophesie was not brouyt ony tyme bi mannus wille, but the hooli men of God inspirid with the Hooli Goost spaken.


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 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.
