| 2nd-Peter 1:1 | Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. | 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 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 | Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord: | May grace and peace ever be increasing in you, in the 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 | As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue. | 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 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 | By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. | 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. | 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 | And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; | So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue, | 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 in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness; | And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind, | and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:7 | And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity. | And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself. | and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:8 | For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 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. | 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 he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. | 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 he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:10 | Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time. | 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: | 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 an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. | For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. | 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 which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth. | 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. | 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 | But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance. | 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; | I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:14 | Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me. | 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. | 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 endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things. | And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death. | 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 we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness. | 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 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 he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. | 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. | 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 we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. | And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, 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 we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: | 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; | 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 | Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. | Being conscious in the first place that no man by himself may give a special sense to the words of the prophets. | knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:21 | For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost. | 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 no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit. |
