2 Peter: Chapter 1

¹ Simon^G4826 Peter^G4074, a servant^G1401 and^G2532 an apostle^G0652 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, to them that have obtained^G2975 like precious^G2472 faith^G4102 with us^G2254 through^G1722 the righteousness^G1343 of God^G2316 and^G2532 our^G2257 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547: ²Grace^G5485 and^G2532 peace^G1515 be multiplied^G4129 unto you^G5213 through^G1722 the knowledge^G1922 of God^G2316, and^G2532 of Jesus^G2424 our^G2257 Lord^G2962, ³According as^G5613 his^G0846 divine^G2304 power^G1411 hath given^G1433 unto us^G2254 all things^G3956 that^G3588 pertain unto^G4314 life^G2222 and^G2532 godliness^G2150, through^G1223 the knowledge^G1922 of him that hath called^G2564 us^G2248 to^G1223 glory^G1391 and^G2532 virtue^G0703: ⁴Whereby^G1223 are given^G1433 unto us^G2254 exceeding great^G3176 and^G2532 precious^G5093 promises^G1862: that^G2443 by^G1223 these^G5130 ye might be^G1096 partakers^G2844 of the^G5449 divine^G2304 nature^G5449, having escaped^G0668 the corruption^G5356 that is in^G1722 the world^G2889 through^G1722 lust^G1939. ⁵And^G2532 beside^G3923 this^G5124, giving^G3923 all^G3956 diligence^G4710, add^G2023 to^G1722 your^G5216 faith^G4102 virtue^G0703; and^G1161 to^G1722 virtue^G0703 knowledge^G1108; ⁶And^G1161 to^G1722 knowledge^G1108 temperance^G1466; and^G1161 to^G1722 temperance^G1466 patience^G5281; and^G1161 to^G1722 patience^G5281 godliness^G2150; ⁷And^G1161 to^G1722 godliness^G2150 brotherly kindness^G5360; and^G1161 to^G1722 brotherly kindness^G5360 charity^G0026. ⁸For^G1063 if^G5225 these things^G5023 be^G5225 in you^G5213, and^G2532 abound^G4121, they make^G2525 you that ye shall neither^G3756 be barren^G0692 nor^G3761 unfruitful^G0175 in^G1519 the knowledge^G1922 of^G2962 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547. ⁹But^G1063 he that^G3739 lacketh^G3918 these things^G5023 is^G2076 blind^G5185, and cannot see afar off^G3467, and hath^G2983 forgotten^G3024 that he was purged^G2512 from^G0266 his^G0846 old^G3819 sins^G0266. ¹⁰Wherefore^G1352 the rather^G3123, brethren^G0080, give diligence^G4704 to make^G4160 your^G5216 calling^G2821 and^G2532 election^G1589 sure^G0949: for^G1063 if ye do^G4160 these things^G5023, ye shall^G4417 never^G3756 fall^G4417: ¹¹For^G1063 so^G3779 an entrance^G1529 shall be ministered^G2023 unto you^G5213 abundantly^G4146 into^G1519 the everlasting^G0166 kingdom^G0932 of^G2962 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹²Wherefore^G1352 I will^G0272 not^G3756 be negligent^G0272 to put^G5279 you^G5209 always^G0104 in remembrance^G5279 of^G4012 these things^G5130, though^G2539 ye know^G1492 them , and^G2532 be established^G4741 in^G1722 the present^G3918 truth^G0225. ¹³Yea^G1161, I think it^G2233 meet^G1342, as long as^G3745 I am^G1510 in^G1722 this^G5129 tabernacle^G4638, to stir^G1326 you^G5209 up^G1326 by putting^G5280 you in^G1722 remembrance^G5280; ¹⁴Knowing^G1492 that^G3754 shortly^G5031 I must put off^G0595 this my^G3450 tabernacle^G4638, even^G2532 as^G2531 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 hath shewed^G1213 me^G3427. ¹⁵Moreover^G1161 I will endeavour that^G4704 ye^G5209 may be able^G4160 after^G3326 my^G1699 decease^G1841 to have^G2192 these things^G5130 always^G1539 in remembrance^G3420. ¹⁶For^G1063 we have^G1811 not^G3756 followed^G1811 cunningly devised^G4679 fables^G3454, when we made known^G1107 unto you^G5213 the power^G1411 and^G2532 coming^G3952 of^G2962 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, but^G0235 were^G1096 eyewitnesses^G2030 of^G3168 his^G1565 majesty^G3168. ¹⁷For^G1063 he received^G2983 from^G3844 God^G2316 the Father^G3962 honour^G5092 and^G2532 glory^G1391, when there came^G5342 such^G5107 a voice^G5456 to him^G0846 from^G5259 the^G1391 excellent^G3169 glory^G1391, This^G3778 is^G2076 my^G3450 beloved^G0027 Son^G5207, in^G1519 whom^G3739 I^G1473 am well pleased^G2106. ¹⁸And^G2532 this^G3778 voice^G5456 which came^G5342 from^G1537 heaven^G3772 we^G2249 heard^G0191, when we were^G5607 with^G4862 him^G0846 in^G1722 the^G3735 holy^G0040 mount^G3735. ¹⁹We have^G2192 also^G2532 a^G3056 more sure^G0949 word^G3056 of prophecy^G4397; whereunto^G3739 ye do^G4160 well^G2573 that ye take heed^G4337, as unto^G5613 a light^G3088 that shineth^G5316 in^G1722 a^G5117 dark^G0850 place^G5117, until^G2193 the day^G2250 dawn^G1306, and^G2532 the day star^G5459 arise^G0393 in^G1722 your^G5216 hearts^G2588: ²⁰Knowing^G1097 this^G5124 first^G4412, that^G3754 no^G3756 prophecy^G4394 of the scripture^G1124 is^G1096 of^G1955 any^G3956 private^G2398 interpretation^G1955. ²¹For^G1063 the prophecy^G4394 came^G5342 not^G3756 in old time^G4218 by the will^G2307 of man^G0444: but^G0235 holy^G0040 men^G0444 of^G5259 God^G2316 spake^G2980 as they were moved^G5342 by the^G4151 Holy^G0040 Ghost^G4151.

2 Peter: Chapter 2

¹But^G1161 there were^G1096 false prophets^G5578 also^G2532 among^G1722 the people^G2992, even^G2532 as^G5613 there shall be^G2071 false teachers^G5572 among^G1722 you^G5213, who^G3748 privily shall bring in^G3919 damnable^G0684 heresies^G0139, even^G2532 denying^G0720 the Lord^G1203 that bought^G0059 them^G0846, and bring upon^G1863 themselves^G1438 swift^G5031 destruction^G0684. ²And^G2532 many^G4183 shall follow^G1811 their^G0846 pernicious ways^G0684; by reason of^G1223 whom^G3739 the way^G3598 of truth^G0225 shall be evil spoken of^G0987. ³And^G2532 through^G1722 covetousness^G4124 shall they^G1710 with feigned^G4112 words^G3056 make merchandise of^G1710 you^G5209: whose^G3739 judgment^G2917 now^G0691 of a long time^G1597 lingereth^G0691 not^G3756, and^G2532 their^G0846 damnation^G0684 slumbereth^G3573 not^G3756. ⁴For^G1063 if^G1487 God^G2316 spared^G5339 not^G3756 the angels^G0032 that sinned^G0264, but^G0235 cast^G5020 them down to hell^G5020, and delivered^G3860 them into chains^G4577 of darkness^G2217, to be reserved^G5083 unto^G1519 judgment^G2920; ⁵And^G2532 spared^G5339 not^G3756 the^G2889 old^G0744 world^G2889, but^G0235 saved^G5442 Noah^G3575 the eighth^G3590 person , a preacher^G2783 of righteousness^G1343, bringing in^G1863 the flood^G2627 upon the world^G2889 of the ungodly^G0765; ⁶And^G2532 turning^G5077 the cities^G4172 of Sodom^G4670 and^G2532 Gomorrha^G1116 into ashes^G5077 condemned^G2632 them with an overthrow^G2692, making^G5087 them an ensample^G5262 unto those that after should^G3195 live ungodly^G0764; ⁷And^G2532 delivered^G4506 just^G1342 Lot^G3091, vexed^G2669 with^G5259 the filthy^G0766 conversation^G0391 of the wicked^G0113: ⁸(For^G1063 that righteous man^G1342 dwelling^G1460 among^G1722 them^G0846, in seeing^G0990 and^G2532 hearing^G0189, vexed^G0928 his righteous^G1342 soul^G5590 from^G1537 day^G2250 to^G1537 day^G2250 with^G2041 their unlawful^G0459 deeds^G2041;) ⁹The Lord^G2962 knoweth how^G1492 to deliver^G4506 the godly^G2152 out of^G1537 temptations^G3986, and^G1161 to reserve^G5083 the unjust^G0094 unto^G1519 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920 to be punished^G2849: ¹⁰But^G1161 chiefly^G3122 them that walk^G4198 after^G3694 the flesh^G4561 in^G1722 the lust^G1939 of uncleanness^G3394, and^G2532 despise^G2706 government^G2963. Presumptuous^G5113 are they , selfwilled^G0829, they are^G5141 not^G3756 afraid^G5141 to speak evil of^G0987 dignities^G1391. ¹¹Whereas^G3699 angels^G0032, which are^G5607 greater^G3173 in power^G2479 and^G2532 might^G1411, bring^G5342 not^G3756 railing^G0989 accusation^G2920 against^G2596 them^G0846 before^G3844 the Lord^G2962. ¹²But^G1161 these^G3778, as^G5613 natural^G5446 brute^G0249 beasts^G2226, made^G1080 to^G1519 be taken^G0259 and^G2532 destroyed^G5356, speak evil^G0987 of^G1722 the things that^G3739 they understand not^G0050; and shall utterly perish^G2704 in^G1722 their own^G0846 corruption^G5356; ¹³And shall receive^G2865 the reward^G3408 of unrighteousness^G0093, as they that count it^G2233 pleasure^G2237 to riot^G5172 in^G1722 the day time^G2250. Spots^G4696 they are and^G2532 blemishes^G3470, sporting themselves^G1792 with^G1722 their own^G0846 deceivings^G0539 while they feast with^G4910 you^G5213; ¹⁴Having^G2192 eyes^G3788 full^G3324 of adultery^G3428, and^G2532 that cannot cease^G0180 from sin^G0266; beguiling^G1185 unstable^G0793 souls^G5590: an heart^G2588 they have exercised^G1128 with covetous practices^G4124; cursed^G2671 children^G5043: ¹⁵Which have forsaken^G2641 the right^G2117 way^G3598, and are gone astray^G4105, following^G1811 the way^G3598 of Balaam^G0903 the son of Bosor^G1007, who^G3739 loved^G0025 the wages^G3408 of unrighteousness^G0093; ¹⁶But^G1161 was^G2192 rebuked^G1649 for^G3892 his^G2398 iniquity^G3892: the^G5268 dumb^G0880 ass^G5268 speaking^G5350 with^G1722 mans^G0444 voice^G5456 forbad^G2967 the madness^G3913 of the prophet^G4396. ¹⁷These^G3778 are^G1526 wells^G4077 without water^G0504, clouds^G3507 that are carried^G1643 with^G5259 a tempest^G2978; to whom^G3739 the mist^G2217 of darkness^G4655 is reserved^G5083 for^G1519 ever^G0165. ¹⁸For^G1063 when they speak^G5350 great swelling^G5246 words of vanity^G3153, they allure^G1185 through^G1722 the lusts^G1939 of the flesh^G4561, through much wantonness^G0766, those that were clean^G3689 escaped^G0668 from them who live^G0390 in^G1722 error^G4106. ¹⁹While they promise^G1861 them^G0846 liberty^G1657, they themselves^G0846 are^G5225 the servants^G1401 of corruption^G5356: for^G1063 of whom^G3739 a man^G5100 is overcome^G2274, of the same^G5129 is he brought in bondage^G1402. ²⁰For^G1063 if^G1487 after they have escaped^G0668 the pollutions^G3393 of the world^G2889 through^G1722 the knowledge^G1922 of the Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, they are^G1707 again^G3825 entangled^G1707 therein^G5125, and overcome^G2274, the latter end^G2078 is^G1096 worse^G5501 with them^G0846 than the beginning^G4413. ²¹For^G1063 it had been^G2258 better^G2909 for them^G0846 not^G3361 to have known^G1921 the way^G3598 of righteousness^G1343, than^G2228, after they have known^G1921 it , to turn^G1994 from^G1537 the^G1785 holy^G0040 commandment^G1785 delivered^G3860 unto them^G0846. ²²But^G1161 it is happened^G4819 unto them^G0846 according to the^G3942 true^G0227 proverb^G3942, The dog^G2965 is turned^G1994 to^G1909 his own^G2398 vomit^G1829 again^G1994; and^G2532 the sow^G5300 that was washed^G3068 to^G1519 her wallowing^G2946 in the mire^G1004.

2 Peter: Chapter 3

¹This^G3778 second^G1208 epistle^G1992, beloved^G0027, I^G1125 now^G2235 write^G1125 unto you^G5213; in^G1722 both which^G3739 I stir up^G1326 your^G5216 pure^G1506 minds^G1271 by way of^G1722 remembrance^G5280: ²That ye may be mindful^G3415 of the words^G4487 which were spoken before^G4280 by^G5259 the^G4396 holy^G0040 prophets^G4396, and^G2532 of the commandment^G1785 of us^G2257 the apostles^G0652 of the Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990: ³Knowing^G1097 this^G5124 first^G4412, that^G3754 there shall come^G2064 in^G1909 the^G2250 last^G2078 days^G2250 scoffers^G1703, walking^G4198 after^G2596 their^G0846 own^G2398 lusts^G1939, ⁴And^G2532 saying^G3004, Where^G4226 is^G2076 the promise^G1860 of^G3952 his^G0846 coming^G3952? for^G1063 since^G0575 the fathers^G3962 fell asleep^G2837, all things^G3956 continue^G1265 as^G3779 they were from^G0575 the beginning^G0746 of the creation^G2937. ⁵For^G1063 this^G5124 they^G0846 willingly^G2309 are ignorant of^G2990, that^G3754 by the word^G3056 of God^G2316 the heavens^G3772 were^G2258 of old^G1597, and^G2532 the earth^G1093 standing^G4921 out of^G1537 the water^G5204 and^G2532 in^G1223 the water^G5204: ⁶Whereby^G1223 the world^G2889 that then was^G5119, being overflowed^G2626 with water^G5204, perished^G0622: ⁷But^G1161 the heavens^G3772 and^G2532 the earth^G1093, which are now^G3568, by^G3056 the same^G0846 word^G3056 are^G1526 kept in store^G2343, reserved^G5083 unto fire^G4442 against^G1519 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920 and^G2532 perdition^G0684 of^G0444 ungodly^G0765 men^G0444. ⁸But^G1161, beloved^G0027, be^G2990 not^G3361 ignorant of^G2990 this^G5124 one thing^G1520, that^G3754 one^G1520 day^G2250 is with^G3844 the Lord^G2962 as^G5613 a thousand^G5507 years^G2094, and^G2532 a thousand^G5507 years^G2094 as^G5613 one^G1520 day^G2250. ⁹The Lord^G2962 is^G1019 not^G3756 slack^G1019 concerning his promise^G1860, as^G5613 some men^G5100 count^G2233 slackness^G1022; but^G0235 is longsuffering^G3114 to^G1519 us-ward^G2248, not^G3361 willing that^G1014 any^G5100 should perish^G0622, but that^G0235 all^G3956 should come^G5562 to^G1519 repentance^G3341. ¹⁰But^G1161 the day^G2250 of the Lord^G2962 will come^G2240 as^G5613 a thief^G2812 in^G1722 the night^G3571; in^G1722 the which^G3739 the heavens^G3772 shall pass away^G3928 with a great noise^G4500, and^G1161 the elements^G4747 shall melt^G3089 with fervent heat^G2741, the earth^G1093 also^G2532 and^G2532 the works^G2041 that are^G3588 therein^G1722 shall be burned up^G2618. ¹¹ Seeing then^G3767 that all^G3956 these things^G5130 shall be dissolved^G3089, what manner^G4217 of persons ought^G1163 ye^G5209 to be^G5225 in^G1722 all holy^G0040 conversation^G0391 and^G2532 godliness^G2150, ¹²Looking for^G4328 and^G2532 hasting unto^G4692 the coming^G3952 of the day^G2250 of God^G2316, wherein^G1223 the heavens^G3772 being on fire^G4448 shall be dissolved^G3089, and^G2532 the elements^G4747 shall melt^G5080 with fervent heat^G2741? ¹³Nevertheless^G1161 we^G4328, according to^G2596 his^G0846 promise^G1862, look for^G4328 new^G2537 heavens^G3772 and^G2532 a new^G2537 earth^G1093, wherein^G1722 dwelleth^G2730 righteousness^G1343. ¹⁴Wherefore^G1352, beloved^G0027, seeing that ye look for^G4328 such things^G5023, be diligent that^G4704 ye may be found^G2147 of him^G0846 in^G1722 peace^G1515, without spot^G0784, and^G2532 blameless^G0298. ¹⁵And^G2532 account^G2233 that the longsuffering^G3115 of^G2962 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 is salvation^G4991; even as^G2531 our^G2257 beloved^G0027 brother^G0080 Paul^G3972 also^G2532 according to^G2596 the wisdom^G4678 given^G1325 unto him^G0846 hath written^G1125 unto you^G5213; ¹⁶As^G5613 also^G2532 in^G1722 all^G3956 his epistles^G1992, speaking^G2980 in^G1722 them^G0846 of^G4012 these things^G5130; in^G1722 which^G3739 are^G2076 some things^G5100 hard to be understood^G1425, which^G3739 they that are unlearned^G0261 and^G2532 unstable^G0793 wrest^G4761, as^G5613 they do also^G2532 the other^G3062 scriptures^G1124, unto^G4314 their^G0846 own^G2398 destruction^G0684. ¹⁷Ye^G5210 therefore^G3767, beloved^G0027, seeing ye know^G4267 these things before^G4267, beware^G5442 lest^G3361 ye also^G1601, being led away^G4879 with the error^G4106 of the wicked^G0113, fall^G1601 from^G4740 your own^G2398 stedfastness^G4740. ¹⁸But^G1161 grow^G0837 in^G1722 grace^G5485, and^G2532 in the knowledge^G1108 of^G2962 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.
