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}

AndG2532+G1161 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
AndG1161 we knowG1492 that all thingsG3956 work togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18 to them thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316, to them who areG5607 the calledG2822 accordingG2596 to his purposeG4286.
ForG3754 whomG3739 he did foreknowG4267, heG4309 alsoG2532 did predestinateG4309 to be conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of hisG846 SonG5207, thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80.
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He that putteth not outH5414 his moneyH3701 to usuryH5392, nor takethH3947 rewardH7810 against the innocentH5355. He that doethH6213 these things shall neverH5769 be movedH4131.
YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267, bewareG5442 lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601 your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
YeG5210 thereforeG3767, belovedG27, seeing ye know these things beforeG4267, bewareG5442 lestG3363 ye alsoG1601, being led awayG4879 with the errorG4106 of the wickedG113, fall fromG1601 your ownG2398 stedfastnessG4740.
AndG1161 we desireG1937 that every oneG1538 of youG5216 do shewG1731 the sameG846 diligenceG4710 toG4314 the full assuranceG4136 of hopeG1680 untoG891 the endG5056:
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;
BlessedH835 is the manH582 that doethH6213 this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that layeth holdH2388 on it; that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from pollutingH2490 it, and keepethH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 any evilH7451.
Though he fallH5307, he shall not be utterly cast downH2904: for the LORDH3068 upholdethH5564 him with his handH3027.
WhichG3739 hope we haveG2192 asG5613 an anchorG45 of the soulG5590, bothG5037 sureG804 andG2532 stedfastG949, andG2532 which enterethG1525 intoG1519 that withinG2082 the veilG2665;
KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG5216 electionG1589 ofG5259 GodG2316. {beloved…: or, beloved of God, your election}
ThereforeG3767 whosoeverG3956+G3748 hearethG191 theseG5128 sayingsG3056 of mineG3450, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846, I will likenG3666 himG846 unto a wiseG5429 manG435, whichG3748 builtG3618 hisG846 houseG3614 uponG1909 a rockG4073:
He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444; he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be greatlyH7227 movedH4131. {defence: Heb. high place}
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 ofG1537 the truthG225, andG2532 shall assureG3982 ourG2257 heartsG2588 beforeG1715 himG846. {assure: Gr. persuade}
ForG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 heartG2588 condemn usG2607+G3754, GodG2316 isG2076 greaterG3187 than ourG2257 heartG2588, andG2532 knowethG1097 all thingsG3956.
BelovedG27, ifG3362 ourG2257 heartG2588 condemnG2607 usG2257 notG3362, then have weG2192 confidenceG3954 towardG4314 GodG2316.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
AndG2532 the rainG1028 descendedG2597, andG2532 the floodsG4215 cameG2064, andG2532 the windsG417 blewG4154, andG2532 beat uponG4363 thatG1565 houseG3614; andG2532 it fellG4098 notG3756: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
WhosoeverG3956 comethG2064 toG4314 meG3165, andG2532 hearethG191 myG3450 sayingsG3056, andG2532 doethG4160 themG846, I will shewG5263 youG5213 to whomG5101 he isG2076 likeG3664:
He isG2076 likeG3664 a manG444 whichG3739 builtG3618 an houseG3614, andG2532 diggedG4626 deepG900, andG2532 laidG5087 the foundationG2310 onG1909 a rockG4073: andG1161 when the floodG4132 aroseG1096, the streamG4215 beat vehementlyG4366 upon thatG1565 houseG3614, andG2532 couldG2480 notG3756 shakeG4531 itG846: forG1063 it was foundedG2311 uponG1909 a rockG4073.
ButG1161 he that hearethG191, andG2532 doethG4160 notG3361, isG2076 likeG3664 a manG444 that withoutG5565 a foundationG2310 builtG3618 an houseG3614 uponG1909 the earthG1093; againstG4366 whichG3739 the streamG4215 did beat vehementlyG4366, andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it fellG4098; andG2532 the ruinG4485 of thatG1565 houseG3614 wasG1096 greatG3173.
Surely he shall not be movedH4131 for everH5769: the righteousH6662 shall be in everlastingH5769 remembranceH2143.
ElectG1588 accordingG2596 to the foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962, throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151, untoG1519 obedienceG5218 andG2532 sprinklingG4473 of the bloodG129 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, be multipliedG4129.
AndG2532 herebyG1722+G5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 ofG1537 the truthG225, andG2532 shall assureG3982 ourG2257 heartsG2588 beforeG1715 himG846. {assure: Gr. persuade}
He will not sufferH5414 thy footH7272 to be movedH4132: he that keepethH8104 thee will not slumberH5123.
BlessedG3107 are they that doG4160 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, thatG2443 theyG846 may haveG2071 rightG1849 toG1909 the treeG3586 of lifeG2222, andG2532 may enterG1525 in through the gatesG4440 intoG1519 the cityG4172.
RejoiceH8055 not against me, O mine enemyH341: when I fallH5307, I shall ariseH6965; when I sitH3427 in darknessH2822, the LORDH3068 shall be a lightH216 unto me.
ButG235 noneG3762 of these thingsG3056 move meG4160, neitherG3761 count IG2192 myG3450 lifeG5590 dearG5093 unto myselfG1683, soG5613 that I might finishG5048 myG3450 courseG1408 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 the ministryG1248, whichG3739 I have receivedG2983 ofG3844 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, to testifyG1263 the gospelG2098 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 yeG5210 allG3956, amongG1722 whomG3739 I have goneG1330 preachingG2784 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, shall seeG3700 myG3450 faceG4383 no moreG3765.
WhoG3588 are keptG5432 byG1722 the powerG1411 of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 untoG1519 salvationG4991 readyG2092 to be revealedG601 inG1722 the lastG2078 timeG2540.
