Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those equally precious with ours having obtained a faith, through [the] righteousness of the God of us and Savior, Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace might be multiplied in [the] knowledge of God and of Jesus the Lord of us.

Accordingly, all things to us, by the divine power of Him toward life and godliness having himself given, through the knowledge of the [One who] having called us [by His] own glory and excellence,

through which the precious and magnificent to us promises He has himself given, so that through these you may become of [the] divine partakers nature, having escaped the in the world in desire, decay.

And very [reason] for this now, earnestness all having brought in, do supplement into the faith of you virtue, into and virtue knowledge,

into then knowledge self-control, into then self-control endurance, into then endurance godliness,

in then godliness brotherly affection, in then brotherly affection love.

These things for in you being and abounding, neither idle nor unfruitful make [you], as to the of the Lord of us Jesus Christ, knowledge.

In whomever for not are present these things, blind he is, being short sighted, forgetfulness having received of the purification the former of him sins.

Therefore rather, brothers, do be diligent, sure your calling and election to make, these things for practicing never not shall you stumble at any time.

In this way for richly will be supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of the Lord of us and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Therefore I will be ready always you to remind concerning these things, though already knowing [them] and strengthened in the being present [in you] truth.

Right now I esteem it, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir up you by putting [you] in remembrance,

already knowing that impending is the putting off of the tabernacle of me, as also the Lord of us Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

I will be diligent now also at every time, to have for you after my departure, these things a lasting remembrance to make.

Not for contrived fables having followed, we have made known to you the of the Lord of us Jesus Christ power and coming, but eyewitnesses having been of His majesty.

Having received for from God [the] Father honor and glory, a voice was brought to Him, such as follows by the Majestic Glory: The Son of Me, beloved of Me, this is, in whom I found delight.”

And this voice we heard from heaven, having been brought with Him, being in the holy mountain.

And we have more certain the prophetic word, to which well you do taking heed, as to a lamp shining in [a] dark place, until this day may have dawned and [the] morning star may have arisen in the hearts of you,

this first knowing, that any prophecy of Scripture of its own interpretation not is.

Not for by [the] will of man was brought prophecy at any time, but by [the] Spirit Holy being carried, spoke from of God men.
