Salutation

1Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:G4826G4074G1401G2532G652G2424G5547G2975G2472G4102G2254G1722G1343G2316G2532G2257G4990G2424G5547
2May grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.G5485G2532G1515G4129G5213G1722G1922G2316G2532G2424G2257G2962

The Christian’s Call and Election

3His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.G5613G846G2304G1411G1433G2254G3956G4314G2222G2532G2150G1223G1922G2564G2248G1223G1391G2532G703
4Thus he has given us, through these things, his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants of the divine nature.G1223G3739G1433G2254G3176G2532G5093G1862G2443G1223G5130G1096G2844G2304G5449G668G5356G1722G2889G1722G1939
5For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge,G2532G1161G846G5124G3923G3956G4710G2023G1722G5216G4102G703G1161G1722G703G1108
6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness,G1161G1722G1108G1466G1161G1722G1466G5281G1161G1722G5281G2150
7and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.G1161G1722G2150G5360G1161G1722G5360G26
8For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.G1063G5023G5225G5213G2532G4121G2525G3756G692G3761G175G1519G1922G2257G2962G2424G5547
9For anyone who lacks these things is nearsighted and blind, and is forgetful of the cleansing of past sins.G1063G3739G3361G3918G5023G2076G5185G3467G3024G2983G2512G846G3819G266
10Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble.G1352G3123G80G4704G4160G5216G2821G2532G1589G949G1063G4160G5023G4218G4417G3364G4218G4417
11For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.G1063G3779G1529G2023G5213G4146G1519G166G932G2257G2962G2532G4990G2424G5547
12Therefore I intend to keep on reminding you of these things, though you know them already and are established in the truth that has come to you.G1352G272G3756G272G5279G5209G104G5279G4012G5130G2539G1492G2532G4741G1722G3918G225
13I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to refresh your memory,G1161G2233G1342G1909G3745G1510G1722G5129G4638G1326G5209G1326G1722G5280
14since I know that my death will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.G1492G3754G5031G2076G595G3450G4638G2532G2531G2257G2962G2424G5547G1213G3427
15And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.G1161G2532G4704G5209G2192G3326G1699G1841G4160G5130G1539G3420

Eyewitnesses of Christ’s Glory

16For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty.G1063G1811G3756G1811G4679G3454G1107G5213G1411G2532G3952G2257G2962G2424G5547G235G1096G2030G1565G3168
17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."G1063G2983G3844G2316G3962G5092G2532G1391G5342G5107G5456G846G5259G3169G1391G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G1519G3739G1473G2106
18We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain.G2532G5026G5456G5342G1537G3772G2249G191G5607G4862G846G1722G40G3735
19So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.G2192G2532G949G3056G4397G3739G4160G2573G4337G5613G3088G5316G1722G850G5117G2193G3739G2250G1306G2532G5459G393G1722G5216G2588
20First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,G1097G5124G4412G3754G3756G3956G4394G1124G1096G2398G1955
21because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.G1063G4394G5342G3756G4218G2307G444G235G40G444G2316G2980G5342G5259G40G4151
