OET 2PET chapter 1

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

1 This letter is from Simon Peter (Grk: Simeon Petros), a slave and messenger of Yeshua the messiah (Grk: Yesou Christos), writing to those who have faith in the sinlessness of our God and saviour Yeshua Messiah that’s just as precious as our faith.

2 May you experience much grace and peace through your knowledge of God and Yeshua our Lord.

1:3 God’s calling

3 He has given us everything necessary for life and godliness through his divine power as we know the one who called us to his own glory and moral excellence. 4 Through these things, he has given us precious and very great promises that you will become participants of the divine nature after escaping the corruption in the world of lust. 5 For this same reason, work hard to apply your faith adding moral excellence, and to that excellence add knowledge; 6 to that knowledge add self-control; to that self-control add endurance; to that endurance add godliness; 7 to that godliness add brotherly concern; and to the brotherly concern add selfless love. 8 Because if these things are part of you and continually increasing, your knowledge of our Lord Yeshua Messiah won’t become useless or unproductive. 9 But if these things aren’t part of someone, that person is shortsighted as if they’ve forgotten that prior cleansing of their sins.

10 So then fellow Christians, work hard to make your calling and election certain—that way you will never fall away— 11 and so you will be richly provided entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and saviour Yeshua Messiah.

12 Therefore I intend to always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are already established in the truth that you know. 13 But I consider it right, as long as I live in this tent, to get you stirred up with a reminder, 14 since I know that this tent of mine will soon be left behind as our Lord Yeshua Messiah himself told me. 15 And I will also make every effort to make sure that you will always remember these things after my departure.

16 We didn’t follow cleverly crafted fables, but rather having been eyewitnesses of the majesty of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, we made his power and forthcoming return known to you. 17 [ref]Because he received the honour and glory from God the Father when a voice spoke to him with magnificent glory saying, “This is my son that I dearly love and who has pleased me greatly.” 18 Indeed we heard this voice from heaven ourselves as we had been taken with him to the holy mountain.

19 In addition there are the words of the prophets that were fulfilled which you would do well to pay attention to—like a light that shines in the dark places—until the day dawns and the one who is the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 And know this foundational truth: all of the prophecy in Scripture doesn’t just come from our own interpretations 21 or from the ideas of man, but from God speaking via men being guided by the Holy Spirit.

1:17-18: Mat 17:1-5; Mrk 9:2-7; Luk 9:28-35.

3 As having _granted all things to _us of _the divine power of _him, the things to life and devoutness, through the knowledge of _the one having _called us, to_^his_own glory and virtue, 4 through which has _granted his precious and greatest promises to _us, in _order _that through these things you _all _may _become partners of_the_divine nature, having _escaped _from from _the corruption in the the_world by lust.
5 Also same thing and this earnestness all they _having _brought _in, supply in the faith of _you _all the virtue, and in the virtue the knowledge, 6 and in the knowledge the self-control, and in the self-control the endurance, and in the endurance the devoutness, 7 and in the devoutness the brotherly _love, and in the brotherly _love the love.
8 For/Because these things being and being _plentiful in _you _all, is _appointing neither idle nor unfruitful, because/for the knowledge of _the master of _us, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah.
9 For/Because in _whomever these things is_ not _being _present, is blind, being _near _sighted, having _received forgetfulness of _the purification the long _ago of _him sins.
10 Therefore brothers rather, be _earnest, to _be _making the calling and choice of _you _all confirmed, because/for practicing these things by _no _means you _all _may_ not _stumble once.
11 For/Because thus the entrance into the eternal kingdom of _the master of _us and saviour, Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah will _be _being_ richly _supplied to _you _all.
12 Therefore I _will _be _going always to _be _reminding you _all concerning these things, although having _perceived them and having _been _strengthened in the being _present truth.
13 And I _am _considering it right for as _long _as I _am in this the tent, to _be _awaking you _all by the_remembrance, 14 having _known that the removal of _the tent of _me is imminent, as also the master of _us, Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, made _evident to _me.
15 And I _will _be _being _earnest also each _time to _be _having you _all to _be _making a_remembrance of _these things after the my departure, which.
16 For/Because we _made _known to _you _all the power and coming of _the master of _us Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah not having _followed _after having _been _cleverly _devised myths, but having _been _become eyewitnesses of _the greatness of _that one.
17 For/Because having _received honour and glory from god the_father, a_voice such _as _this having _been _brought to _him by the Majestic Glory:
This is The son of _me, the beloved in whom I took _pleasure, 18 and we heard this the voice from heaven, having _been _brought with him, being on the holy mountain.
19 And we _are _having the prophetic message more _confirmed, to _which you _all _are _doing well taking _heed, as to_a_lamp shining in a_dark place, until of _which day may _shining _through, and the_morning _star may _rise in the hearts of _you _all.
20 Knowing this first, that any prophecy of _scripture of_its_own interpretation is_ not _becoming.
21 For/Because was_ not once _brought by_the_will of_a_human prophecy, but people being _carried by the_ holy _spirit, spoke the_holy from of_god.
