5But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,G2532G1161G846G5124G3923G3956G4710G2023G1722G5216G4102G703G1161G1722G703G1108 6to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,G1161G1722G1108G1466G1161G1722G1466G5281G1161G1722G5281G2150 7to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.G1161G1722G2150G5360G1161G1722G5360G26 8For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.G1063G5023G5225G5213G2532G4121G2525G3756G692G3761G175G1519G1922G2257G2962G2424G5547 9For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.G1063G3739G3361G3918G5023G2076G5185G3467G3024G2983G2512G846G3819G266 10Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;G1352G3123G80G4704G4160G5216G2821G2532G1589G949G1063G4160G5023G4218G4417G3364G4218G4417 11for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.G1063G3779G1529G2023G5213G4146G1519G166G932G2257G2962G2532G4990G2424G5547

Peter’s Approaching Death

12For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.G1352G272G3756G272G5279G5209G104G5279G4012G5130G2539G1492G2532G4741G1722G3918G225 13Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,G1161G2233G1342G1909G3745G1510G1722G5129G4638G1326G5209G1326G1722G5280 14knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.G1492G3754G5031G2076G595G3450G4638G2532G2531G2257G2962G2424G5547G1213G3427 15Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.G1161G2532G4704G5209G2192G3326G1699G1841G4160G5130G1539G3420

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

16For 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.G1063G1811G3756G1811G4679G3454G1107G5213G1411G2532G3952G2257G2962G2424G5547G235G1096G2030G1565G3168 17For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."G1063G2983G3844G2316G3962G5092G2532G1391G5342G5107G5456G846G5259G3169G1391G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G1519G3739G1473G2106 18And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.G2532G5026G5456G5342G1537G3772G2249G191G5607G4862G846G1722G40G3735 19And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;G2192G2532G949G3056G4397G3739G4160G2573G4337G5613G3088G5316G1722G850G5117G2193G3739G2250G1306G2532G5459G393G1722G5216G2588 20knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,G1097G5124G4412G3754G3756G3956G4394G1124G1096G2398G1955 21for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.G1063G4394G5342G3756G4218G2307G444G235G40G444G2316G2980G5342G5259G40G4151
