{Peter-2 1:1} Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that have obtained like precious faith with us through the
righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: {Peter-2 1:2} Grace and
peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus
our Lord, {Peter-2 1:3} According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of
him that hath called us to glory and virtue: {Peter-2 1:4} Whereby are given
unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that
is in the world through lust. {Peter-2 1:5} And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; {Peter-2 1:6} And
to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience
godliness; {Peter-2 1:7} And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity. {Peter-2 1:8} For if these things be in you, and abound, they
make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. {Peter-2 1:9} But he that lacketh these
things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he
was purged from his old sins. {Peter-2 1:10} Wherefore the rather, brethren,
give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do
these things, ye shall never fall: {Peter-2 1:11} For so an entrance shall be
ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.

{Peter-2 1:12} Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in
remembrance of these things, though ye know [them,] and be established
in the present truth.

{Peter-2 1:13} Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;

{Peter-2 1:14} Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our
Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. {Peter-2 1:15} Moreover I will endeavour that
ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in
remembrance. {Peter-2 1:16} For we have not followed cunningly devised fables,
when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

{Peter-2 1:17} For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

{Peter-2 1:18} And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we
were with him in the holy mount. {Peter-2 1:19} We have also a more sure word
of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light
that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star
arise in your hearts: {Peter-2 1:20} Knowing this first, that no prophecy of
the scripture is of any private interpretation. {Peter-2 1:21} For the prophecy
came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as
they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.

{Peter-2 2:1} But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring
upon themselves swift destruction. {Peter-2 2:2} And many shall follow their
pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil
spoken of. {Peter-2 2:3} And through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth
not, and their damnation slumbereth not. {Peter-2 2:4} For if God spared not
the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered
[them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; {Peter-2 2:5} And
spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person,] a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the
ungodly; {Peter-2 2:6} And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes
condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto
those that after should live ungodly; {Peter-2 2:7} And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: {Peter-2 2:8} (For that
righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his]
righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds;) {Peter-2 2:9} The
Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to
reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: {Peter-2 2:10} But
chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and
despise government. Presumptuous [are they,] selfwilled, they are not
afraid to speak evil of dignities. {Peter-2 2:11} Whereas angels, which are
greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them
before the Lord. {Peter-2 2:12} But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be
taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; {Peter-2 2:13} And shall
receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure
to riot in the daytime. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting
themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; {Peter-2 2:14}
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling
unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices;
cursed children: {Peter-2 2:15} Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone
astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the
wages of unrighteousness; {Peter-2 2:16} But was rebuked for his iniquity: the
dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

{Peter-2 2:17} These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

{Peter-2 2:18} For
when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through
the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were
clean escaped from them who live in error. {Peter-2 2:19} While they promise
them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of
whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. {Peter-2 2:20}
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again
entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than
the beginning. {Peter-2 2:21} For it had been better for them not to have known
the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it,] to turn
from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

{Peter-2 2:22} But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

{Peter-2 3:1} This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in [both]
which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: {Peter-2 3:2} That ye
may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy
prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and
Saviour: {Peter-2 3:3} Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last
days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, {Peter-2 3:4} And saying, Where
is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all
things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
{Peter-2 3:5} For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God
the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in
the water: {Peter-2 3:6} Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished: {Peter-2 3:7} But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by
the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

{Peter-2 3:8} But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

{Peter-2 3:9} The Lord is not
slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that
all should come to repentance.

{Peter-2 3:10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
{Peter-2 3:10} But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

{Peter-2 3:11} [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness,

{Peter-2 3:12} Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

(Peter-2 3:13} Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

{Peter-2 3:14} Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
and blameless.

{Peter-2 3:15} And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the
wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

{Peter-2 3:16} As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

{Peter-2 3:17} Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

{Peter-2 3:18} But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.
