ULT 2PET Chapter 1

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the ones having received a faith equal in value with us, by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 As his divine power has given to us all the things for life and godliness through the knowledge of the one having called us through his glory and excellence, 4 through which he has given to us the precious and great promises so that through them you might be sharers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world by lust, 5 and now for this same reason, applying all diligence, supply in your faith, goodness; and in goodness, knowledge; 6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, endurance; and in endurance, godliness; 7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. 8 For these things existing and increasing in you cause you to be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he in whom these things are not present is blind, nearsighted, having received forgetfulness of the cleansing of his past sins. 10 Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things, you will certainly not ever stumble. 11 For in this way will be richly provided to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 Therefore, I will always remind you about these things, although you have known them and have been established in the present truth. 13 But I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to arouse you in remembrance, 14 knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, just as also our Lord Jesus Christ revealed this to me. 15 Likewise, I will be diligent to cause you to always have the remembrance of these things after my departure. 16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by having followed cleverly invented myths, but by having become eyewitnesses of the majesty of that one. 17 For he has received honor and glory from God the Father, such a voice having been brought to him by the Majestic Glory: “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I myself am well pleased.” 18 And we ourselves heard this voice, having been brought from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain. 19 And we have the very certain prophetic word, to which you do well to pay attention, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day might dawn and the morning star might rise in your hearts, 20 knowing this first, that every prophecy of scripture does not come from one’s own interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man, but men being carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
