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}
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.
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 shortlyG5031 I mustG2076 put offG595 this myG3450 tabernacleG4638, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath shewedG1213 meG3427.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, WhenG3753 thou wastG2258 youngG3501, thou girdedstG2224 thyselfG4572, andG2532 walkedstG4043 whitherG3699 thou wouldestG2309: butG1161 whenG3752 thou shalt be oldG1095, thou shalt stretch forthG1614 thyG4675 handsG5495, andG2532 anotherG243 shall girdG2224 theeG4571, andG2532 carryG5342 thee whitherG3699 thou wouldestG2309 notG3756.
ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125 unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326 yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
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}
ThisG5026 secondG1208 epistleG1992, belovedG27, IG1125 nowG2235 writeG1125 unto youG5213; inG1722 both whichG3739 I stir upG1326 yourG5216 pureG1506 mindsG1271 by wayG1722 of remembranceG5280:
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.
ByG1223 SilvanusG4610, a faithfulG4103 brotherG80 unto youG5213, asG5613 I supposeG3049, I have writtenG1125 brieflyG1223+G3641, exhortingG3870, andG2532 testifyingG1957 that thisG5026 isG1511 the trueG227 graceG5485 of GodG2316 whereinG1519+G3739 ye standG2476.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
Looking forG4328 andG2532 hastingG4692 unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223+G3739 the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448 shall be dissolvedG3089, andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080 with fervent heatG2741? {hasting…: or, hasting the coming}
NeverthelessG1161 weG4328, according toG2596 hisG846 promiseG1862, look forG4328 newG2537 heavensG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093, whereinG1722+G3739 dwellethG2730 righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 there shall comeG2064 inG1909 the lastG2078 daysG2250 scoffersG1703, walkingG4198 afterG2596 theirG846 ownG2398 lustsG1939,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
The LordG2962 isG1019 notG3756 slackG1019 concerning his promiseG1860, asG5613 some menG5100 countG2233 slacknessG1022; butG235 is longsufferingG3114 toG1519 us-wardG2248, notG3361 willingG1014 that anyG5100 should perishG622, butG235 that allG3956 should comeG5562 toG1519 repentanceG3341.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
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}
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}

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}

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.

ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 cast them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;

AndG2532 deliveredG4506 justG1342 LotG3091, vexedG2669 withG5259 the filthyG766 conversationG391 ofG1722 the wickedG113:
(ForG1063 that righteous manG1342 dwellingG1460 amongG1722 themG846, in seeingG990 andG2532 hearingG189, vexedG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 from dayG2250 toG1537 dayG2250 with their unlawfulG459 deedsG2041;)
The LordG2962 knowethG1492 how to deliverG4506 the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083 the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849:
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391. {government: or, dominion}
WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG5607 greater inG3187 powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342 notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962. {them: some read, themselves}
ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
And shall receiveG2865 the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that countG2233 it pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792 withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG539 while they feastG4910 with youG5213;
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
TheseG3778 areG1526 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG2217 of darknessG4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274+G2532, of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
ForG1063 it had beenG2258 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846.
ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according toG3588 the trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 cast them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;

WhereforeG1352, belovedG27, seeing that ye look forG4328 such thingsG5023, be diligentG4704 that ye may be foundG2147 of himG846 inG1722 peaceG1515, without spotG784, andG2532 blamelessG298.
AndG2532 accountG2233 that the longsufferingG3115 of ourG2257 LordG2962 is salvationG4991; even asG2531 ourG2257 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 according toG2596 the wisdomG4678 givenG1325 unto himG846 hath writtenG1125 unto youG5213;

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.
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.
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;
ButG1161 growG837 inG1722 graceG5485, andG2532 in the knowledgeG1108 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To himG846 be gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 forG1519 everG165+G2250. AmenG281.
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}
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
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}
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
ForG1063 it had beenG2258 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 sayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 the promiseG1860 of hisG846 comingG3952? forG1063 sinceG575+G3739 the fathersG3962 fell asleepG2837, all thingsG3956 continueG3779+G1265 as they were fromG575 the beginningG746 of the creationG2937.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391. {government: or, dominion}
WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG5607 greater inG3187 powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342 notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962. {them: some read, themselves}
ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
And shall receiveG2865 the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that countG2233 it pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792 withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG539 while they feastG4910 with youG5213;
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
TheseG3778 areG1526 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG2217 of darknessG4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274+G2532, of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
ForG1063 it had beenG2258 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846.
ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according toG3588 the trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 cast them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;
AndG2532 turningG5077 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116 into ashesG5077 condemnedG2632 them with an overthrowG2692, makingG5087 them an ensampleG5262 unto those that after shouldG3195 live ungodlyG764;
The LordG2962 knowethG1492 how to deliverG4506 the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083 the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849:
