GNT

1 συμεὼν πέτρος δοῦλος καὶ ἀπόστολος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ τοῖς ἰσότιμον ἡμῖν λαχοῦσιν πίστιν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ·

2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη πληθυνθείη ἐν ἐπιγνώσει τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν.

3 ὡς πάντα ἡμῖν τῆς θείας δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ τὰ πρὸς ζωὴν καὶ εὐσέβειαν δεδωρημένης διὰ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ καλέσαντος ἡμᾶς ἰδίᾳ δόξῃ καὶ ἀρετῇ,

4 δι᾽ ὧν τὰ τίμια καὶ μέγιστα ἡμῖν ἐπαγγέλματα δεδώρηται, ἵνα διὰ τούτων γένησθε θείας κοινωνοὶ φύσεως, ἀποφυγόντες τῆς ἐν τῶ κόσμῳ ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ φθορᾶς.

5 καὶ αὐτὸ τοῦτο δὲ σπουδὴν πᾶσαν παρεισενέγκαντες ἐπιχορηγήσατε ἐν τῇ πίστει ὑμῶν τὴν ἀρετήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν,

6 ἐν δὲ τῇ γνώσει τὴν ἐγκράτειαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐγκρατείᾳ τὴν ὑπομονήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ὑπομονῇ τὴν εὐσέβειαν,

7 ἐν δὲ τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ τὴν φιλαδελφίαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ τὴν ἀγάπην.

8 ταῦτα γὰρ ὑμῖν ὑπάρχοντα καὶ πλεονάζοντα οὐκ ἀργοὺς οὐδὲ ἀκάρπους καθίστησιν εἰς τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ ἐπίγνωσιν·

9 ᾧ γὰρ μὴ πάρεστιν ταῦτα, τυφλός ἐστιν μυωπάζων, λήθην λαβὼν τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ τῶν πάλαι αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν.

10 διὸ μᾶλλον, ἀδελφοί, σπουδάσατε βεβαίαν ὑμῶν τὴν κλῆσιν καὶ ἐκλογὴν ποιεῖσθαι· ταῦτα γὰρ ποιοῦντες οὐ μὴ πταίσητέ ποτε·

11 οὕτως γὰρ πλουσίως ἐπιχορηγηθήσεται ὑμῖν ἡ εἴσοδος εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον βασιλείαν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

12 διὸ μελλήσω ἀεὶ ὑμᾶς ὑπομιμνῄσκειν περὶ τούτων, καίπερ εἰδότας καὶ ἐστηριγμένους ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ἀληθείᾳ.

13 δίκαιον δὲ ἡγοῦμαι, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον εἰμὶ ἐν τούτῳ τῶ σκηνώματι, διεγείρειν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὑπομνήσει,

14 εἰδὼς ὅτι ταχινή ἐστιν ἡ ἀπόθεσις τοῦ σκηνώματός μου, καθὼς καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ἰησοῦς χριστὸς ἐδήλωσέν μοι·

15 σπουδάσω δὲ καὶ ἑκάστοτε ἔχειν ὑμᾶς μετὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἔξοδον τὴν τούτων μνήμην ποιεῖσθαι.

16 οὐ γὰρ σεσοφισμένοις μύθοις ἐξακολουθήσαντες ἐγνωρίσαμεν ὑμῖν τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ δύναμιν καὶ παρουσίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπόπται γενηθέντες τῆς ἐκείνου μεγαλειότητος.

17 λαβὼν γὰρ παρὰ θεοῦ πατρὸς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν φωνῆς ἐνεχθείσης αὐτῶ τοιᾶσδε ὑπὸ τῆς μεγαλοπρεποῦς δόξης, ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός μου οὖτός ἐστιν, εἰς ὃν ἐγὼ εὐδόκησα _

18 καὶ ταύτην τὴν φωνὴν ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐνεχθεῖσαν σὺν αὐτῶ ὄντες ἐν τῶ ἁγίῳ ὄρει.

19 καὶ ἔχομεν βεβαιότερον τὸν προφητικὸν λόγον, ᾧ καλῶς ποιεῖτε προσέχοντες ὡς λύχνῳ φαίνοντι ἐν αὐχμηρῶ τόπῳ, ἕως οὖ ἡμέρα διαυγάσῃ καὶ φωσφόρος ἀνατείλῃ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν·

20 τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶσα προφητεία γραφῆς ἰδίας ἐπιλύσεως οὐ γίνεται·

21 οὐ γὰρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη προφητεία ποτέ, ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἄνθρωποι.

1  Simon⁴⁸²⁶ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ a servant¹⁴⁰¹ and²⁵³² an apostle⁶⁵² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ to them that have obtained²⁹⁷⁵ like precious²⁴⁷² faith⁴¹⁰² with us²²⁵⁴ through¹⁷²² the righteousness¹³⁴³ of God²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² our²²⁵⁷ Savior⁴⁹⁹⁰ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷

2  Grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ and²⁵³² peace¹⁵¹⁵ be multiplied⁴¹²⁹ unto you⁵²¹³ through¹⁷²² the knowledge¹⁹²² of God,²³¹⁶ and²⁵³² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ our²²⁵⁷ Lord,²⁹⁶²

3  According as⁵⁶¹³ his⁸⁴⁶ divine²³⁰⁴ power¹⁴¹¹ hath given¹⁴³³ unto us²²⁵⁴ all things³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ pertain unto⁴³¹⁴ life²²²² and²⁵³² godliness,²¹⁵⁰ through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ knowledge¹⁹²² of him that hath called²⁵⁶⁴ us²²⁴⁸ to¹²²³ glory¹³⁹¹ and²⁵³² virtue:⁷⁰³

4  Whereby^{1223 3739} are given¹⁴³³ unto us²²⁵⁴ exceeding great³¹⁷⁶ and²⁵³² precious⁵⁰⁹³ promises:¹⁸⁶² that²⁴⁴³ by¹²²³ these⁵¹³⁰ ye might be¹⁰⁹⁶ partakers²⁸⁴⁴ of the divine²³⁰⁴ nature,⁵⁴⁴⁹ having escaped⁶⁶⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ corruption⁵³⁵⁶ that is in¹⁷²² the world²⁸⁸⁹ through¹⁷²² lust.¹⁹³⁹

5  And¹¹⁶¹ beside this,^{846 5124 2532} giving³⁹²³ all³⁹⁵⁶ diligence,⁴⁷¹⁰ add²⁰²³ to¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ faith⁴¹⁰² virtue;⁷⁰³ and¹¹⁶¹ to¹⁷²² virtue⁷⁰³ knowledge;¹¹⁰⁸

6  And¹¹⁶¹ to¹⁷²² knowledge¹¹⁰⁸ temperance;¹⁴⁶⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ to¹⁷²² temperance¹⁴⁶⁶ patience;⁵²⁸¹ and¹¹⁶¹ to¹⁷²² patience⁵²⁸¹ godliness;²¹⁵⁰

7  And¹¹⁶¹ to¹⁷²² godliness²¹⁵⁰ brotherly kindness;⁵³⁶⁰ and¹¹⁶¹ to¹⁷²² brotherly kindness⁵³⁶⁰ charity.²⁶

8  For¹⁰⁶³ if these things⁵⁰²³ be⁵²²⁵ in you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² abound,⁴¹²¹ they make²⁵²⁵ you that ye shall neither³⁷⁵⁶ be barren⁶⁹² nor³⁷⁶¹ unfruitful¹⁷⁵ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ knowledge¹⁹²² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

9  But¹⁰⁶³ he³⁷³⁹ that lacketh^{3918 3361} these things⁵⁰²³ is²⁰⁷⁶ blind,⁵¹⁸⁵ and cannot see afar off,³⁴⁶⁷ and hath forgotten^{2983 3024} that he was purged²⁵¹² from his⁸⁴⁸ old³⁸¹⁹ sins.²⁶⁶

10  Wherefore¹³⁵² the rather,³¹²³ brethren,⁸⁰ give diligence⁴⁷⁰⁴ to make⁴¹⁶⁰ your⁵²¹⁶ calling²⁸²¹ and²⁵³² election¹⁵⁸⁹ sure:⁹⁴⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ if ye do⁴¹⁶⁰ these things,⁵⁰²³ ye shall never^{3364 4218} fall:⁴⁴¹⁷

11  For¹⁰⁶³ so³⁷⁷⁹ an entrance¹⁵²⁹ shall be ministered unto²⁰²³ you⁵²¹³ abundantly⁴¹⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ everlasting¹⁶⁶ kingdom⁹³² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² Savior⁴⁹⁹⁰ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

12  Wherefore¹³⁵² I will not³⁷⁵⁶ be negligent²⁷² to put you always in remembrance^{5279 5209 104} of⁴⁰¹² these things,⁵¹³⁰ though²⁵³⁹ ye know¹⁴⁹² them, and²⁵³² be established⁴⁷⁴¹ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ present³⁹¹⁸ truth.²²⁵

13  Yea,¹¹⁶¹ I think²²³³ it meet,¹³⁴² as long as^{1909 3745} I am¹⁵¹⁰ in¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ tabernacle,⁴⁶³⁸ to stir you up^{1326 5209} by putting you in remembrance;^{1722 5280}

14  Knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ shortly⁵⁰³¹ I must²⁰⁷⁶ put off⁵⁹⁵ this my³⁴⁵⁰ tabernacle,⁴⁶³⁸ even²⁵³² as²⁵³¹ our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ hath showed¹²¹³ me.³⁴²⁷

15  Moreover¹¹⁶¹ I will endeavor⁴⁷⁰⁴ that²⁵³² ye⁵²⁰⁹ may be able after³³²⁶ my¹⁶⁹⁹ decease¹⁸⁴¹ to have²¹⁹² these things⁵¹³⁰ always¹⁵³⁹ in remembrance.^{4160 3420}

16  For¹⁰⁶³ we have not³⁷⁵⁶ followed¹⁸¹¹ cunningly devised⁴⁶⁷⁹ fables,³⁴⁵⁴ when we made known¹¹⁰⁷ unto you⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ power¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² coming³⁹⁵² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ but²³⁵ were¹⁰⁹⁶ eyewitnesses²⁰³⁰ of his¹⁵⁶⁵ majesty.³¹⁶⁸

17  For¹⁰⁶³ he received²⁹⁸³ from³⁸⁴⁴ God²³¹⁶ the Father³⁹⁶² honor⁵⁰⁹² and²⁵³² glory,¹³⁹¹ when there came⁵³⁴² such⁵¹⁰⁷ a voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ to him⁸⁴⁶ from⁵²⁵⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ excellent³¹⁶⁹ glory,¹³⁹¹ This³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ beloved²⁷ Son,⁵²⁰⁷ in¹⁵¹⁹ whom³⁷³⁹ I¹⁴⁷³ am well pleased.²¹⁰⁶

18  And²⁵³² this⁵⁰²⁶ voice⁵⁴⁵⁶ which came⁵³⁴² from¹⁵³⁷ heaven³⁷⁷² we²²⁴⁹ heard,¹⁹¹ when we were⁵⁶⁰⁷ with⁴⁸⁶² him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ holy⁴⁰ mount.³⁷³⁵

19  We have²¹⁹² also²⁵³² a more sure⁹⁴⁹ word³⁰⁵⁶ of prophecy;⁴³⁹⁷ whereunto³⁷³⁹ ye do⁴¹⁶⁰ well²⁵⁷³ that ye take heed,⁴³³⁷ as⁵⁶¹³ unto a light³⁰⁸⁸ that shineth⁵³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² a dark⁸⁵⁰ place,⁵¹¹⁷ until^{2193 3757} the day²²⁵⁰ dawn,¹³⁰⁶ and²⁵³² the day star⁵⁴⁵⁹ arise³⁹³ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ hearts:²⁵⁸⁸

20  Knowing¹⁰⁹⁷ this⁵¹²⁴ first,⁴⁴¹² that³⁷⁵⁴ no^{3956 3756} prophecy⁴³⁹⁴ of the Scripture¹¹²⁴ is¹⁰⁹⁶ of any private²³⁹⁸ interpretation.¹⁹⁵⁵

21  For¹⁰⁶³ the prophecy⁴³⁹⁴ came⁵³⁴² not³⁷⁵⁶ in old time⁴²¹⁸ by the will²³⁰⁷ of man:⁴⁴⁴ but²³⁵ holy⁴⁰ men⁴⁴⁴ of God²³¹⁶ spake²⁹⁸⁰ as they were moved⁵³⁴² by⁵²⁵⁹ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost.⁴¹⁵¹

Vul

1 Simon Petrus, servus et apostolus Jesu Christi, iis qui coæqualem nobiscum sortiti sunt fidem in justitia Dei nostri, et Salvatoris Jesu Christi.

2 Gratia vobis, et pax adimpleatur in cognitione Dei, et Christi Jesu Domini nostri:

3 Quomodo omnia nobis divinæ virtutis suæ, quæ ad vitam et pietatem donata sunt, per cognitionem ejus, qui vocavit nos propria gloria, et virtute,

4 per quem maxima, et pretiosa nobis promissa donavit: ut per hæc efficiamini divinæ consortes naturæ: fugientes ejus, quæ in mundo est, concupiscentiæ corruptionem.

5 Vos autem curam omnem subinferentes, ministrate in fide vestra virtutem, in virtute autem scientiam,

6 in scientia autem abstinentiam, in abstinentia autem patientiam, in patientia autem pietatem,

7 in pietate autem amorem fraternitatis, in amore autem fraternitatis caritatem.

8 Hæc enim si vobiscum adsint, et superent, non vacuos nec sine fructu vos constituent in Domini nostri Jesu Christi cognitione.

9 Cui enim non præsto sunt hæc, cæcus est, et manu tentans, oblivionem accipiens purgationis veterum suorum delictorum.

10 Quapropter fratres, magis satagite ut per bona opera certam vestram vocationem, et electionem faciatis: hæc enim facientes, non peccabitis aliquando.

11 Sic enim abundanter ministrabitur vobis introitus in æternum regnum Domini nostri et Salvatoris Jesu Christi.

12 Propter quod incipiam vos semper commonere de his: et quidem scientes et confirmatos vos in præsenti veritate.

13 Justum autem arbitror quamdiu sum in hoc tabernaculo, suscitare vos in commonitione:

14 certus quod velox est depositio tabernaculi mei secundum quod et Dominus noster Jesus Christus significavit mihi.

15 Dabo autem operam et frequenter habere vos post obitum meum, ut horum memoriam faciatis.

16 Non enim doctas fabulas secuto notam fecimus vobis Domini nostri Jesu Christi virtutem et præsentiam: sed speculatores facti illius magnitudinis.

17 Accipiens enim a Deo Patre honorem et gloriam, voce delapsa ad eum hujuscemodi a magnifica gloria: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui, ipsum audite.

18 Et hanc vocem nos audivimus de cælo allatam, cum essemus cum ipso in monte sancto.

19 Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem: cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris:

20 hoc primum intelligentes quod omnis prophetia Scripturæ propria interpretatione non fit.

21 Non enim voluntate humana allata est aliquando prophetia: sed Spiritu Sancto inspirati, locuti sunt sancti Dei homines.
