American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and {Greek: presence.}coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For he {Greek: having received.}received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:
and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a {Greek: squalid.}dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of {Or, special}private interpretation.
For no prophecy ever {Greek: was brought.}came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
