SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour}
GraceG5485 andG2532 peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129 unto youG5213 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316, andG2532 of JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962,
According asG5613 hisG846 divineG2304 powerG1411 hath givenG1433 unto usG2254 all thingsG3956 that pertain untoG4314 lifeG2222 andG2532 godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the knowledgeG1922 of him that hath calledG2564 usG2248 toG1223 gloryG1391 andG2532 virtueG703: {to: or, by}
WherebyG1223+G3739 are givenG1433 unto usG2254 exceeding greatG3176 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG5130 ye might beG1096 partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
AndG2532+G1161 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 temperanceG1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG1466 patienceG5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG5281 godlinessG2150;
AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
ForG1063 if these thingsG5023 beG5225 in youG5213, andG2532 aboundG4121, they makeG2525 you that ye shall neitherG3756 be barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {barren: Gr. idle}
ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3361+G3918 these thingsG5023 isG2076 blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467, and hath forgottenG3024+G2983 that he was purged fromG2512 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704 to makeG4160 yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160 these thingsG5023, ye shallG4218+G4417 neverG3364 fallG4218+G4417:
ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG1529 shall be ministeredG2023 unto youG5213 abundantlyG4146 intoG1519 the everlastingG166 kingdomG932 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 I willG272 notG3756 be negligentG272 to putG5279 youG5209 alwaysG104 in remembranceG5279 ofG4012 these thingsG5130, thoughG2539 ye knowG1492 them, andG2532 be establishedG4741 inG1722 the presentG3918 truthG225.
YeaG1161, I think itG2233 meetG1342, as long asG1909+G3745 I amG1510 inG1722 thisG5129 tabernacleG4638, to stirG1326 youG5209 upG1326 byG1722 putting you in remembranceG5280;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 shortlyG5031 I mustG2076 put offG595 this myG3450 tabernacleG4638, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath shewedG1213 meG3427.
MoreoverG1161+G2532 I will endeavourG4704 that yeG5209 may be ableG2192 afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to haveG4160 these thingsG5130 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
ForG1063 we haveG1811 notG3756 followedG1811 cunningly devisedG4679 fablesG3454, when we made knownG1107 unto youG5213 the powerG1411 andG2532 comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG2030 of hisG1565 majestyG3168.
ForG1063 he receivedG2983 fromG3844 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391, when there cameG5342 suchG5107 a voiceG5456 to himG846 fromG5259 the excellentG3169 gloryG1391, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1519 whomG3739 IG1473 am well pleasedG2106.
AndG2532 thisG5026 voiceG5456 which cameG5342 fromG1537 heavenG3772 weG2249 heardG191, when we wereG5607 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 the holyG40 mountG3735.
We haveG2192 alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193+G3739 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096 of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {in old time: or, at any time}

AndG1161 as heG846 reasonedG1256 ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, temperanceG2532+G1466, andG2532 judgmentG2917 to comeG3195+G1510, FelixG5344 trembledG1096+G1719, and answeredG611, Go thy wayG4198 for this timeG3568; whenG1161 I haveG2192+G3335 a convenient seasonG2540, I will call forG3333 theeG4571.
RestH1826 in the LORDH3068, and wait patientlyH2342 for him: fretH2734 not thyself because of him who prosperethH6743 in his wayH1870, because of the manH376 who bringethH6213 wicked devicesH4209 to passH6213. {Rest in: Heb. Be silent to}
According asG5613 hisG846 divineG2304 powerG1411 hath givenG1433 unto usG2254 all thingsG3956 that pertain untoG4314 lifeG2222 andG2532 godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the knowledgeG1922 of him that hath calledG2564 usG2248 toG1223 gloryG1391 andG2532 virtueG703: {to: or, by}
AndG1161 every manG3956 that striveth for the masteryG75 is temperateG1467 in all thingsG3956+G3303. NowG3767 theyG1565 do it toG2443 obtainG2983 a corruptibleG5349 crownG4735; butG1161 weG2249 an incorruptibleG862.
ButG1161 that onG1722 the goodG2570 groundG1093 areG1526 theyG3778, whichG3748 inG1722 an honestG2570 andG2532 goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3056, keepG2722 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592 withG1722 patienceG5281.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
ButG235 a lover of hospitalityG5382, a lover of good menG5358, soberG4998, justG1342, holyG3741, temperateG1468; {men: or, things}
To them who byG3303+G2596 patient continuanceG5281 in wellG18 doingG2041 seekG2212 for gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 immortalityG861, eternalG166 lifeG2222:
The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come. {merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from…: or, from that which is evil}
That the aged menG4246 beG1511 soberG3524, graveG4586, temperateG4998, soundG5198 in faithG4102, in charityG26, in patienceG5281. {sober: or, vigilant}
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 so, butG235 we gloryG2744 inG1722 tribulationsG2347 alsoG2532: knowingG1492 thatG3754 tribulationG2347 workethG2716 patienceG5281;
ForG5228 kingsG935, andG2532 for allG3956 that areG5607 inG1722 authorityG5247; thatG2443 we may leadG1236 a quietG2263 andG2532 peaceableG2272 lifeG979 inG1722 allG3956 godlinessG2150 andG2532 honestyG4587. {authority: or, eminent place}
ButG235 (whichG3739 becomethG4241 womenG1135 professingG1861 godlinessG2317) withG1223 goodG18 worksG2041.
ButG1161 ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for thatG3739 we seeG991 notG3756, then do weG553 withG1223 patienceG5281 wait forG553 it.
AndG2532 without controversyG3672 greatG3173 isG2076 the mysteryG3466 of godlinessG2150: GodG2316 was manifestG5319 inG1722 the fleshG4561, justifiedG1344 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, seenG3700 of angelsG32, preachedG2784 untoG1722 the GentilesG1484, believed onG4100 inG1722 the worldG2889, received upG353 intoG1722 gloryG1391.
ForG1063 whatsoever thingsG3745 were written aforetimeG4270 were writtenG4270 forG1519 ourG2251 learningG1319, thatG2443 weG2192 throughG1223 patienceG5281 andG2532 comfortG3874 of the scripturesG1124 might haveG2192 hopeG1680.
ButG1161 refuseG3868 profaneG952 andG2532 old wives'G1126 fablesG3454, andG1161 exerciseG1128 thyselfG4572 rather untoG4314 godlinessG2150.
ButG235 inG1722 allG3956 things approvingG4921 ourselvesG1438 asG5613 the ministersG1249 of GodG2316, inG1722 muchG4183 patienceG5281, inG1722 afflictionsG2347, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 distressesG4730, {approving: Gr. commending}
ForG1063 bodilyG4984 exerciseG1129 profitethG2076+G5624 littleG4314+G3641: butG1161 godlinessG2150 isG2076 profitableG5624 untoG4314 all thingsG3956, havingG2192 promiseG1860 of the lifeG2222 that now isG3568, andG2532 of that which is to comeG3195. {little: or, for a little time}
StrengthenedG1412 withG1722 allG3956 mightG1411, according toG2596 hisG846 gloriousG1391 powerG2904, untoG1519 allG3956 patienceG5281 andG2532 longsufferingG3115 withG3326 joyfulnessG5479;
If any manG1536 teach otherwiseG2085, andG2532 consentG4334 notG3361 to wholesomeG5198 wordsG3056, even the words of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 to the doctrineG1319 which is accordingG2596 to godlinessG2150;
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
SoG5620 that weG2248 ourselvesG846 gloryG2744 inG1722 youG5213 inG1722 the churchesG1577 of GodG2316 forG5228 yourG5216 patienceG5281 andG2532 faithG4102 inG1722 allG3956 yourG5216 persecutionsG1375 andG2532 tribulationsG2347 thatG3739 ye endureG430:
ButG1161 thouG4771, OG5599 manG444 of GodG2316, fleeG5343 these thingsG5023; andG1161 follow afterG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, patienceG5281, meeknessG4236.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 directG2720 yourG5216 heartsG2588 intoG1519 the loveG26 of GodG2316, andG2532 intoG1519 the patient waitingG5281 for ChristG5547. {patient…: or, patience of Christ}
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG1161 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, according toG2596 the faithG4102 of God'sG2316 electG1588, andG2532 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225 whichG3588 is afterG2596 godlinessG2150;
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 needG5532 of patienceG5281, thatG2443, after ye have doneG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316, ye might receiveG2865 the promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5105 seeing we alsoG2532 areG2192 compassed aboutG4029+G2254 with so greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, letG659 usG2249 lay asideG659 everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 the sinG266 which doth so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143 withG1223 patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is set beforeG4295 usG2254,
ButG1161 letG2192 patienceG5281 haveG2192 her perfectG5046 workG2041, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 perfectG5046 andG2532 entireG3648, wantingG3007 nothingG1722+G3367.
Be patientG3114 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, untoG2193 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962. BeholdG2400, the husbandmanG1092 waitethG1551 for the preciousG5093 fruitG2590 of the earthG1093, and hath long patienceG3114 forG1909 itG846, untilG2193+G302 he receiveG2983 the earlyG4406 andG2532 latterG3797 rainG5205. {Be…: or, Be long patient, or, Suffer with long patience}
BeG3114 yeG5210 alsoG2532 patientG3114; stablishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 draweth nighG1448.
GrudgeG4727 notG3361 one against anotherG2596+G240, brethrenG80, lestG3363 ye be condemnedG2632: beholdG2400, the judgeG2923 standethG2476 beforeG4253 the doorG2374. {Grudge not: or, Groan, or, Grieve not}
TakeG2983, myG3450 brethrenG80, the prophetsG4396, whoG3739 have spokenG2980 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962, for an exampleG5262 of suffering afflictionG2552, andG2532 of patienceG3115.
IG1473 JohnG2491, whoG3588 alsoG2532 am yourG5216 brotherG80, andG2532 companionG4791 inG1722 tribulationG2347, andG2532 inG1722 the kingdomG932 andG2532 patienceG5281 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, wasG1096 inG1722 the isleG3520 that is calledG2564 PatmosG3963, forG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 forG1223 the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 thyG4675 labourG2873, andG2532 thyG4675 patienceG5281, andG2532 howG3754 thou canstG1410 notG3756 bearG941 them which are evilG2556: andG2532 thou hast triedG3985 them which sayG5335 they areG1511 apostlesG652, andG2532 areG1526 notG3756, andG2532 hast foundG2147 themG846 liarsG5571:
