| 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. | According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to 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. |

| 2nd-Peter 1:5 | And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; | And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; | 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; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:6 | And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness; | And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; | along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance; |
| 2nd-Peter 1:7 | And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity. | And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. | along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with 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 these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful 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. |
| 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. | But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged 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. |
| 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. | Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never 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. |
| 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 an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting 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. |
| 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. | Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. | 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. |
| 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. | Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; | But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders. |
| 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. | Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed 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. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:15 | And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things. | Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. | So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things 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 we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. | 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. |
| 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 he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in 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." |
| 2nd-Peter 1:18 | And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount. | And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. | And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on 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: | We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise 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. |
| 2nd-Peter 1:20 | Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. | Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. | But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting; |
| 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 the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. | for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit. |
