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}

ButG235 I knowG1097 youG5209, thatG3754 ye haveG2192 notG3756 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 youG1438.
ThereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27 brethrenG80, be yeG1096 stedfastG1476, unmoveableG277, alwaysG3842 aboundingG4052 inG1722 the workG2041 of the LordG2962, forasmuch as ye knowG1492 thatG3754 yourG5216 labourG2873 isG2076 notG3756 in vainG2756 inG1722 the LordG2962.
IfG1437 ye abideG3306 inG1722 meG1698, andG2532 myG3450 wordsG4487 abideG3306 inG1722 youG5213, ye shall askG154 whatG3739+G1437 ye willG2309, andG2532 it shall be doneG1096 unto youG5213.
SlothfulnessH6103 castethH5307 into a deep sleepH8639; and an idleH7423 soulH5315 shall suffer hungerH7456.
He alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173 isG2076 he thatG3778 hearethG191 the wordG3056; andG2532 the careG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175.
GraceG5485 andG2532 peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129 unto youG5213 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316, andG2532 of JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962,
AndG2532 by theirG846 prayerG1162 forG5228 youG5216, which long afterG1971 youG5209 forG1223 the exceedingG5235 graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1909 youG5213.
How thatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of theirG846 joyG5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG2596+G4432 aboundedG4052 untoG1519 the richesG4149 of theirG846 liberalityG572. {liberality: Gr. simplicity}
HereinG1722+G5129 isG1392 myG3450 FatherG3962 glorifiedG1392, thatG2443 ye bearG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590; soG2532 shall ye beG1096 myG1699 disciplesG3101.
AndG2532 he went outG1831 aboutG4012 the thirdG5154 hourG5610, and sawG1492 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692 inG1722 the marketplaceG58,
EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1698 thatG846 bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 he taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.
ExamineG3985 yourselvesG1438, whetherG1487 ye beG2075 inG1722 the faithG4102; proveG1381 your own selvesG1438+G2228. Know yeG1921 notG3756 your own selvesG1438, how thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG2076 inG1722 youG5213, exceptG1509 ye beG2075 reprobatesG5100+G96?
ThereforeG235, asG5618 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 everyG3956 thing, in faithG4102, andG2532 utteranceG3056, andG2532 knowledgeG1108, andG2532 in allG3956 diligenceG4710, andG2532 in yourG5216 loveG26+G1537 toG1722 usG2254, see thatG2443 ye aboundG4052 inG1722 thisG5026 graceG5485 alsoG2532.
ForG1063 whetherG1535 we be beside ourselvesG1839, it is to GodG2316: or whetherG1535 we be soberG4993, it is for your causeG5213.
ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; because we thusG5124 judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599:
AndG2532 that he diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 they which liveG2198 shouldG2198 not henceforthG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG235 unto him which diedG599 forG5228 themG846, andG2532 rose againG1453.
WhereforeG5620 henceforthG575+G3568 knowG1492 weG2249 no manG3762 afterG2596 the fleshG4561: yeaG1161, thoughG1499 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 henceforthG3765 know weG1097 him no moreG3765.
ThereforeG5620 if any manG1536 be inG1722 ChristG5547, he is a newG2537 creatureG2937: old thingsG744 are passed awayG3928; beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 are becomeG1096 newG2537. {he is: or, let him be}
AndG1161 aboutG4012 the eleventhG1734 hourG5610 he went outG1831, and foundG2147 othersG243 standingG2476 idleG692, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 stand yeG2476 hereG5602 allG3650 the dayG2250 idleG692?
IfG3362 a manG5100 abideG3306 notG3362 inG1722 meG1698, he is castG906 forthG1854 asG5613 a branchG2814, andG2532 is witheredG3583; andG2532 men gatherG4863 themG846, andG2532 castG906 them intoG1519 the fireG4442, andG2532 they are burnedG2545.
LetG5426 thisG5124 mind beG5426 inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 was alsoG2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
AndG2532 thisG5124 I prayG4336, thatG2443 yourG5216 loveG26 may aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 in allG3956 judgmentG144; {judgment: or, sense}
HisG846 lordG2962 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou wickedG4190 andG2532 slothfulG3636 servantG1401, thou knewestG1492 thatG3754 I reapG2325 whereG3699 I sowedG4687 notG3756, andG2532 gatherG4863 whereG3606 I haveG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
AndG1161 letG3129 oursG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 forG1519 necessaryG316 usesG5532, thatG3363 they beG5600 notG3363 unfruitfulG175. {maintain…: or, profess honest trades}
LetG1774 the wordG3056 of ChristG5547 dwellG1774 inG1722 youG5213 richlyG4146 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; teachingG1321 andG2532 admonishingG3560 one anotherG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 withG1722 graceG5485 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 to the LordG2962.
RootedG4492 andG2532 built upG2026 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 stablishedG950 inG1722 the faithG4102, asG2531 ye have been taughtG1321, aboundingG4052 thereinG1722+G846 withG1722 thanksgivingG2169.
ThatG3704 the communicationG2842 of thyG4675 faithG4102 may becomeG1096 effectualG1756 byG1722 the acknowledgingG1922 of everyG3956 good thingG18 whichG3588 is inG1722 youG5213 inG1519 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
LetG1774 the wordG3056 of ChristG5547 dwellG1774 inG1722 youG5213 richlyG4146 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; teachingG1321 andG2532 admonishingG3560 one anotherG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 withG1722 graceG5485 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 to the LordG2962.
AndG1161+G2532 withalG260 they learnG3129 to be idleG692, wandering aboutG4022 from house to houseG3614; andG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 idleG692, butG235 tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 andG2532 busybodiesG4021, speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 notG3361.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 makeG4121 youG5209 to increaseG4121 andG2532 aboundG4052 in loveG26 oneG240 towardG1519 anotherG240, andG2532 towardG1519 allG3956 men, evenG2532 asG2509 weG2249 do towardG1519 youG5209:
ThatG3363 ye beG1096 notG3363 slothfulG3576, butG1161 followersG3402 of them who throughG1223 faithG4102 andG2532 patienceG3115 inheritG2816 the promisesG1860.
FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
