1:20 Above all, you do well if you recognize
this:
No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination,

2 Peter 1:3
Believers’ Salvation and the Work of God
1:3 I can pray this because his divine power has bestowed on us everything necessary for life and godliness through the rich knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.
2 Peter 1:5
1:5 For this very reason,
make every effort
to add to your faith excellence,
to excellence, knowledge;
2 Peter 3:4
3:4 and saying,
“Where is his promised return?
For ever since
our ancestors
died,
all things have continued as they were
from the beginning of creation.”
2 Peter 3:9
3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise,
as some regard slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not wish
for any
to perish but for all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:16
3:16 speaking of these things in all his letters.
Some things in these letters

to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures.
