Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, For indicates that what follows in 1:17–18 is the reason that Peter can say in the previous verse that he was an eyewitness to the majesty of Jesus. Use a connector that indicates that this is a reason or explanation. Alternate translation: “I say this because”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῆς Μεγαλοπρεποῦς Δόξης
the Majestic Glory
Peter refers to God in terms of his Glory. The glory of God is closely associated with God himself and here substitutes for his name. Alternate translation: “God, the Supreme Glory”
Note 8 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ Υἱός μου
the Son ˱of˲_me
Son is an important title for Jesus, the Son of God.
Note 9 topic: writing-pronouns
μου & μου & ἐγὼ
˱of˲_me & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λαβὼν γὰρ παρὰ Θεοῦ Πατρὸς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν φωνῆς ἐνεχθείσης αὐτῷ τοιᾶσδε ὑπὸ τῆς Μεγαλοπρεποῦς Δόξης οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός εἰς ὃν ἐγὼ εὐδόκησα)
The pronouns my and myself refer to God the Father, who is the one speaking in the quotation.
1:16-21 Peter’s denunciation of the false teachers (ch 2) is framed by this teaching about the certainty of Jesus’ return (see also 3:1-13). The false teachers were probably denying the reality of Christ’s return and judgment. Peter’s eyewitness experience (1:16-18) and the intrinsic reliability of scriptural prophecy (1:19-21) make Christ’s return a certainty.
OET (OET-LV) 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,

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
