2 Peter 1:10-21
-
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
-
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
-
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
-
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
-
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
-
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
-
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
-
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
-
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
-
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
-
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
-
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
