<span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of <i>the</i> divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in <i>your</i> moral excellence, knowledge; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>and in <i>your</i> knowledge, self-control, and in <i>your</i> self-control, perseverance, and in <i>your</i> perseverance, godliness; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>and in <i>your</i> godliness, brotherly kindness, and in <i>your</i> brotherly kindness, love. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>For if these <i>qualities</i> are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>For he who lacks these <i>qualities</i> is blind <i>or</i> short-sighted, having forgotten <i>his</i> purification from his former sins. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Therefore, I shall always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you <i>already</i> know <i>them</i>, and have been established in the truth which is present with <i>you.</i> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And I consider it right, as long as I am in this <i>earthly</i> dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>knowing that the laying aside of my <i>earthly</i> dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you may be able to call these things to mind. <p><b><i>Eyewitnesses</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”— <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And <i>so</i> we have the prophetic word <i>made</i> more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is <i>a matter</i> of one’s own interpretation, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/2_peter/1-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
