\verseNumber{2}May|strong="G2532" grace|strong="G5485" and|strong="G2532" peace|strong="G1515" ever be|strong="G2532" increasing|strong="G4129" in|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210", in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" knowledge|strong="G1922" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2316" Jesus|strong="G2424" our|strong="G2316" Lord|strong="G2962"; 
\verseNumber{3}Because|strong="G1223" by|strong="G1223" his|strong="G0846" power|strong="G1411" he|strong="G2532" has|strong="G2532" given|strong="G2564" us|strong="G2564" everything|strong="G3956" necessary|strong="G4314" for|strong="G1223" life|strong="G2222" and|strong="G2532" righteousness|strong="G0846", through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G3956" knowledge|strong="G1922" of|strong="G1223" him|strong="G0846" who|strong="G3588" has|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" guide by|strong="G1223" his|strong="G0846" glory|strong="G1391" and|strong="G2532" virtue; 
\verseNumber{4}And|strong="G2532" through|strong="G1223" this|strong="G3778" he|strong="G2532" has|strong="G3739" given us|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" hope of|strong="G1223" great|strong="G3173" rewards highly to|strong="G2443" be|strong="G1096" valued; so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G3739" by|strong="G1722" them|strong="G1722" we|strong="G2249" might|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" part|strong="G1473" in|strong="G1722" God's being|strong="G1096", and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1096" made|strong="G1096" free from|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" destruction|strong="G5356" which|strong="G3739" is|strong="G3778" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" world|strong="G2889" through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G3588" desires|strong="G1939" of|strong="G1223" the|strong="G3588" flesh. 
\verseNumber{5}So|strong="G2532", for|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" very|strong="G0846" cause, take every|strong="G3956" care; joining virtue to|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102", and|strong="G2532" knowledge|strong="G1108" to|strong="G2532" virtue, 
\verseNumber{6}And|strong="G1161" self-control|strong="G1466" to|strong="G1722" knowledge|strong="G1108", and|strong="G1161" a|strong="G1722" quiet mind to|strong="G1722" self-control|strong="G1466", and|strong="G1161" fear of|strong="G1722" God to|strong="G1722" a|strong="G1722" quiet mind, 
\verseNumber{7}And|strong="G1161" love|strong="G0026" of|strong="G0026" the|strong="G3588" brothers to|strong="G1722" fear of|strong="G0026" God, and|strong="G1161" to|strong="G1722" love|strong="G0026" of|strong="G0026" the|strong="G3588" brothers, love|strong="G0026" itself. 
\verseNumber{8}For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G2532" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" in|strong="G1519" good measure, they|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2962" make|strong="G3756" you|strong="G5210" fertile and|strong="G2532" full of|strong="G2962" fruit|strong="G0175" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" knowledge|strong="G1922" of|strong="G2962" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547". 
\verseNumber{9}For|strong="G1063" the|strong="G3588" man|strong="G3778" who|strong="G3739" has|strong="G3739" not|strong="G3361" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" blind|strong="G5185", seeing only what|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" near, having no|strong="G3361" memory of|strong="G3588" how he|strong="G0846" was|strong="G1510" made clean from|strong="G3361" his|strong="G0846" old sins|strong="G0265". 
\verseNumber{10}For|strong="G1063" this|strong="G3778" reason|strong="G1352", my|strong="G4160" brothers|strong="G0080", take all|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" more|strong="G3123" care to|strong="G2532" make|strong="G4160" your|strong="G4160" selection and|strong="G2532" approval certain|strong="G0949"; for|strong="G1063" if|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" do|strong="G4160" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" you|strong="G5210" will|strong="G3778" never|strong="G3756" have|strong="G2532" a|strong="G4160" fall: 
\verseNumber{11}For|strong="G1063" so|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" way|strong="G3779" will|strong="G2962" be|strong="G2532" open to|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" eternal|strong="G0166" kingdom|strong="G0932" of|strong="G0932" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" and|strong="G2532" Saviour Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547". 
\verseNumber{12}For|strong="G4012" this|strong="G3778" reason|strong="G1352" I|strong="G2532" will|strong="G3195" be|strong="G2532" ready|strong="G3195" at|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3588" times to|strong="G3195" keep your|strong="G3708" memory of|strong="G4012" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" awake, though|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" knowledge of|strong="G4012" them|strong="G1722" now|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3778" well|strong="G2532" based in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G3708" present|strong="G3778" faith. 
\verseNumber{13}And|strong="G1161" it|strong="G2233" seems right|strong="G1342" to|strong="G1909" me|strong="G1909", as|strong="G1722" long|strong="G3745" as|strong="G1722" I|strong="G3778" am|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" tent of|strong="G1909" flesh, to|strong="G1909" keep your|strong="G1722" minds awake by|strong="G1722" working on|strong="G1909" your|strong="G1722" memory; 
\verseNumber{14}For|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" conscious that|strong="G3754" in|strong="G2532" a|strong="G1510" short time I|strong="G1473" will|strong="G1510" have|strong="G1510" to|strong="G2532" put off this|strong="G3588" tent of|strong="G2962" flesh, as|strong="G2531" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" has|strong="G2962" made|strong="G1213" clear|strong="G1213" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473". 
\verseNumber{15}And|strong="G2532" I|strong="G2532" will|strong="G3778" take|strong="G2192" every|strong="G4704" care so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3778" you|strong="G5210" may|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" clear memory of|strong="G2192" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" after|strong="G3326" my|strong="G1699" death. 
\verseNumber{16}For|strong="G1063" when|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" gave you|strong="G5210" news of|strong="G1411" the|strong="G3588" power|strong="G1411" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" coming|strong="G3952" of|strong="G1411" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", our|strong="G2424" teaching was|strong="G2424" not|strong="G3756" based on|strong="G1096" stories put|strong="G1096" together|strong="G2532" by|strong="G2532" art, but|strong="G0235" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G1096" eye-witnesses of|strong="G1411" his|strong="G2532" glory. 
\verseNumber{17}For|strong="G1063" God|strong="G2316" the|strong="G3588" Father|strong="G3962" gave him|strong="G0846" honour and|strong="G2532" glory|strong="G1391", when|strong="G2532" such|strong="G3778" a|strong="G2983" voice|strong="G5456" came|strong="G1510" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G0846" out|strong="G1510" of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G3588" great glory|strong="G1391", saying, This|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" my|strong="G5259" dearly loved Son|strong="G5207", with|strong="G3844" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" well|strong="G2532" pleased|strong="G2106". 
\verseNumber{18}And|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" voice|strong="G5456" came|strong="G0191" from|strong="G1537" heaven|strong="G3772" even|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2532" ears|strong="G0191", when|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G1510" with|strong="G1722" him|strong="G0846" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" holy|strong="G0040" mountain|strong="G3735". 
\verseNumber{19}And|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" words|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" the|strong="G3588" prophets|strong="G4397" are|strong="G3739" made|strong="G4160" more|strong="G0949" certain|strong="G0949"; and|strong="G2532" it|strong="G4160" is|strong="G3739" well|strong="G2573" for|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G2193" give|strong="G4160" attention|strong="G4337" to|strong="G2193" them|strong="G4160" as|strong="G5613" to|strong="G2193" a|strong="G2192" light|strong="G5316" shining|strong="G5316" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2192" dark place|strong="G5117", till the|strong="G3588" dawn comes|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" morning|strong="G2250" star|strong="G5459" is|strong="G3739" seen|strong="G5316" in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2192" hearts|strong="G2588"; 
\verseNumber{20}Being|strong="G1096" conscious in|strong="G3956" the|strong="G3956" first|strong="G4413" place|strong="G1096" that|strong="G3754" no|strong="G3756" man|strong="G3778" by|strong="G1097" himself|strong="G2398" may|strong="G3956" give|strong="G1096" a|strong="G1096" special sense to|strong="G1096" the|strong="G3956" words of|strong="G3956" the|strong="G3956" prophets. 
\verseNumber{21}For|strong="G1063" these words did not|strong="G3756" ever|strong="G4218" come through|strong="G0575" the|strong="G2316" impulse|strong="G2307" of|strong="G4151" men|strong="G0444": but|strong="G0235" the|strong="G2316" prophets had|strong="G2316" them|strong="G5342" from|strong="G0575" God|strong="G2316", being|strong="G0444" moved|strong="G5342" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2316" Holy|strong="G0040" Spirit|strong="G4151".

\chapterNumber{2}But|strong="G1161" there|strong="G1510" were|strong="G1510" false|strong="G5578" prophets|strong="G5578" among|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" people|strong="G2992", as|strong="G5613" there|strong="G1510" will|strong="G1510" be|strong="G1510" false|strong="G5578" teachers|strong="G5572" among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210", who|strong="G3588" will|strong="G1510" secretly|strong="G3919" put|strong="G1096" forward wrong teachings for|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" destruction|strong="G0684", even|strong="G2532" turning away from|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" Lord|strong="G1203" who|strong="G3588" gave himself|strong="G1438" for|strong="G1722" them|strong="G0846"; whose|strong="G0846" destruction|strong="G0684" will|strong="G1510" come|strong="G1096" quickly|strong="G1722", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G0846" themselves|strong="G1438" will|strong="G1510" be|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" cause of|strong="G1722" it|strong="G0846". 
\verseNumber{2}And|strong="G2532" a|strong="G3739" great|strong="G4183" number|strong="G0846" will|strong="G3739" go with|strong="G1223" them|strong="G0846" in|strong="G2532" their|strong="G0846" evil|strong="G0987" ways|strong="G3598", through|strong="G1223" whom|strong="G3739" the|strong="G3588" true|strong="G0225" way|strong="G3598" will|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2532" a|strong="G3739" bad name. 
\verseNumber{3}And|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" their|strong="G0846" desire for|strong="G1722" profit they|strong="G0846" will|strong="G3739" come to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" with|strong="G1722" words|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" deceit, like|strong="G0846" traders doing business|strong="G1710" in|strong="G1722" souls: whose|strong="G3739" punishment|strong="G2917" has|strong="G3739" been|strong="G2532" ready for|strong="G1722" a|strong="G3739" long|strong="G1597" time and|strong="G2532" their|strong="G0846" destruction|strong="G0684" is|strong="G3739" watching for|strong="G1722" them|strong="G0846". 
\verseNumber{4}For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G1487" God|strong="G2316" did|strong="G5339" not|strong="G3756" have|strong="G3588" pity for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G3588" angels|strong="G0032" who|strong="G3588" did|strong="G5339" evil, but|strong="G0235" sent them|strong="G3860" down|strong="G3860" into|strong="G1519" hell|strong="G5020", to|strong="G1519" be|strong="G2316" kept|strong="G5083" in|strong="G1519" chains of|strong="G2316" eternal night till they|strong="G1487" were|strong="G3588" judged;
