CHAPTER I. 1 Confirming them in hope of the increase of God’s graces, 5 he eoehorteth them, hy faith, and good works, to make their calling sure: 12 whereof he is careful to remember them, knowing that his death is at hand: 16 and warneth them to be constant in the faith of , Christ, who is the true Son of God, by the eye- witness of the apostles beholding his majesty, and by the testimony of the Father, and the prophets. IIOIMON Peter, a servant and )0 an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained ^ like pre- cious faith Tvith us thi’ough the righteousness t of God and our Sa- viour Jesus Chiist: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, ® through the knowledge of him ^that hath called us l|to glory and virtue: 4 ‘'Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious pro- mises : th^at by these ye might be ^partakers of the divine nature, s having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, ^ giving all di- ligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue * knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness ; 7 And to godliness brotherly kind- ness ; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither he t barren hior unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things “is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence “to make your call- ing and election sure : for if ye do these things, f 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 Wlierefore will not be negli- gent to put you always in remem- brance of these things, rthough ye know th&m, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, “ as long as I am in this tabernacle. Ho stir you up by putting you in remem- brance ; 14 “ Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as ^our Lord Jesus Christ hath shew- ed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in re- membrance. 16 For we have not followed ^ cun- ningly 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 Hhe prophecy came not l|in old time by the will of man: ® but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost CHAPTER II. ] He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing the impiety and punishment both of them and their followers: 7 from which the godly shall be delivered, as Lot was out of Sodom: 10 and more fully describeth the manners of those profane and blasphemous seducers, whereby they may be the better known, and avoided. But “there were false prophets also among the people, even as ’’there shall be false teachers Anno DOMINI 66. 9 Rom. 15.14, 15. Phil. 3.1. ch. 3.1. 1 John 2.21.
