| 2nd-Peter 1:1 | Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: | Simon Peter, a bondservant and Apostle of Jesus Christ: To those to whom there has been allotted the same precious faith as that which is ours through the righteousness of our God and of our Saviour Jesus Christ. | Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: |
| 2nd-Peter 1:2 | May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; | May more and more grace and peace be granted to you in a full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, | Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, |
| 2nd-Peter 1:3 | Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue; | seeing that His divine power has given us all things that are needful for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him who has appealed to us by His own glorious perfections. | seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:4 | And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh. | It is by means of these that He has granted us His precious and wondrous promises, in order that through them you may, one and all, become sharers in the very nature of God, having completely escaped the corruption which exists in the world through earthly cravings. | whereby he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:5 | So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue, | But for this very reason adding, on your part, all earnestness along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge; | Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:6 | And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind, | along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance; | and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:7 | And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself. | along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love. | and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:8 | For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. | If these things exist in you, and continually increase, they prevent your being either idle or unfruitful in advancing towards a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. | For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:9 | For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins. | For the man in whom they are lacking is blind and cannot see distant objects, in that he has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins. | For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:10 | For this reason, my brothers, take all the more care to make your selection and approval certain; for if you do these things you will never have a fall: | For this reason, brethren, be all the more in earnest to make sure that God has called you and chosen you; for it is certain that so long as you practise these things, you will never stumble. | Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:11 | For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. | And so a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be freely granted to you. | For thus will be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:12 | For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith. | For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess. | Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:13 | And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory; | But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders. | I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:14 | For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. | For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me. | knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord, Jesus Christ, made clear to me. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:15 | And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death. | So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure. | Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:16 | For when we gave you news of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our teaching was not based on stories put together by art, but we were eye-witnesses of his glory. | For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty. | For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:17 | For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased. | He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight." | For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." |
| 2nd-Peter 1:18 | And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain. | And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain. | This voice we heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mountain. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:19 | And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts; | And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. | We have the more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day star arises in your hearts: |
| 2nd-Peter 1:20 | Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets. | But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting; | knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:21 | For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit. | for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit. | For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit. |
