Book 61 2 Peter
61:001:001 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:
61:001:002 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
61:001:003 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:
61:001:004 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.
61:001:005 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
61:001:006 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
61:001:007 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
61:001:008 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.
61:001:009 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
61:001:010 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
61:001:011 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
61:001:012 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.
61:001:013 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
61:001:014 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
61:001:015 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
61:001:016 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.
61:001:017 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.
