2Pt:01.01 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
          that have obtained like precious faith with us through the
          righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2Pt:01.02 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge
          of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

2Pt:01.03 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:

2Pt:01.04 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
          promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
          nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world
          through lust.

2Pt:01.05 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
          virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

2Pt:01.06 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and
          to patience godliness;

2Pt:01.07 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness
          charity.

2Pt:01.08 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.

2Pt:01.09 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar
          off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

2Pt:01.10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your
          calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall
          never fall:

2Pt:01.11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly
          into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
          Christ.

2Pt:01.12 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.

2Pt:01.13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to
          stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

2Pt:01.14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even
          as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

2Pt:01.15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease
          to have these things always in remembrance.

2Pt:01.16 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.

2Pt:01.17 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.

2Pt:01.18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were
          with him in the holy mount.

2Pt:01.19 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:

2Pt:01.20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of
          any private interpretation.

2Pt:01.21 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.

2Pt:02.01 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
          there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall
          bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought
          them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2Pt:02.02 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom
          the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

2Pt:02.03 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
          merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
          lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

2Pt:02.04 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them
          down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to
          be reserved unto judgment;

2Pt:02.05 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
          person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood
          upon the world of the ungodly;

2Pt:02.06 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
          condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto
          those that after should live ungodly;

2Pt:02.07 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of
          the wicked:

2Pt:02.08 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and
          hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their
          unlawful deeds;)

2Pt:02.09 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
          and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
          punished:

2Pt:02.10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
          uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they,
          selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

2Pt:02.11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring
          not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

2Pt:02.12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
          destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
          and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

2Pt:02.13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that
          count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and
          blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while
          they feast with you;

2Pt:02.14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
          beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with
          covetous practices; cursed children:

2Pt:02.15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
          following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the
          wages of unrighteousness;

2Pt:02.16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
          man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

2Pt:02.17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
          tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

2Pt:02.18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
          allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much
          wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live
          in error.

2Pt:02.19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the
          servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the
          same is he brought in bondage.

2Pt:02.20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world
          through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
          they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end
          is worse with them than the beginning.

2Pt:02.21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
          righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from
          the holy commandment delivered unto them.

2Pt:02.22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,
          The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was
          washed to her wallowing in the mire.

2Pt:03.01 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both
          which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

2Pt:03.02 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before
          by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the
          apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

2Pt:03.03 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
          scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

2Pt:03.04 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the
          fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the
          beginning of the creation.

2Pt:03.05 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of
          God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the
          water and in the water:

2Pt:03.06 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water,
          perished:

2Pt:03.07 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word
          are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
          judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

2Pt:03.08 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day
          is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as
          one day.

2Pt:03.09 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
          count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
          that any should perish, but that all should come to
          repentance.

2Pt:03.10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in
          the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
          the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and
          the works that are therein shall be burned up.

2Pt:03.11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what
          manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and
          godliness,

2Pt:03.12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
          wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
          elements shall melt with fervent heat?

2Pt:03.13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new
          heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

2Pt:03.14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
          diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
          and blameless.

2Pt:03.15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;
          even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom
          given unto him hath written unto you;

2Pt:03.16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things;
          in which are some things hard to be understood, which they
          that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the
          other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

2Pt:03.17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
          beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the
          wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

2Pt:03.18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and
          Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.
          Amen.
