2 Peter 1:16--3:13

1:16

For
<1063>

we have
<1811> (0)

not
<3756>

followed
<1811> (5660)

cunningly devised
<4679> (5772)

fables
<3454>_,

when we made known
<1107> (5656)

unto you
<5213>

the power
<1411>

and
<2532>

coming
<3952>

of our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

but
<235>

were
<1096> (5679)

eyewitnesses
<2030>

of his
<1565>

majesty
<3168>_.

1:17

For
<1063>

he received
<2983> (5631)

from
<3844>

God
<2316>

the Father
<3962>

honour
<5092>

and
<2532>

glory
<1391>_,

when there came
<5342> (5685)

such
<5107>

a voice
<5456>

to him
<846>

from
<5259>

the excellent
<3169>

glory
<1391>_,

This
<3778>

is
<2076> (5748)

my
<3450>

beloved
<27>

Son
<5207>_,

in
<1519>

whom
<3739>

I
<1473>

am well pleased
<2106> (5656)_.

1:18

And
<2532>

this
<5026>

voice
<5456>

which came
<5342> (5685)

from
<1537>

heaven
<3772>

we
<2249>

heard
<191> (5656)_,

when we were
<5607> (5752)

with
<4862>

him
<846>

in
<1722>

the holy
<40>

mount
<3735>_.

1:19

We have
<2192> (5719)

also
<2532>

a more sure
<949>

word
<3056>

of prophecy
<4397>_;

whereunto
<3739>

ye do
<4160> (5719)

well
<2573>

that ye take heed
<4337> (5723)_,

as
<5613>

unto a light
<3088>

that shineth
<5316> (5730)

in
<1722>

a dark
<850>

place
<5117>_,

until
<2193> <3757>

the day
<2250>

dawn
<1306> (5661)_,

and
<2532>

the day star
<5459>

arise
<393> (5661)

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>_:

1:20

Knowing
<1097> (5723)

this
<5124>

first
<4412>_,

that
<3754>

no
<3756> <3956>

prophecy
<4394>

of the scripture
<1124>

is
<1096> (5736)

of any private
<2398>

interpretation
<1955>_.

1:21

For
<1063>

the prophecy
<4394>

came
<5342> (5681)

not
<3756>

in old time
<4218>

by the will
<2307>

of man
<444>_:

but
<235>

holy
<40>

men
<444>

of God
<2316>

spake
<2980> (5656)

[as they were] moved
<5342> (5746)

by
<5259>

the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_.

{in old time: or, at any time}

2:1

But
<1161>

there were
<1096> (5633)

false prophets
<5578>

also
<2532>

among
<1722>

the people
<2992>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

there shall be
<2071> (5704)

false teachers
<5572>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>_,

who
<3748>

privily shall bring in
<3919> (5692)

damnable
<684>

heresies
<139>_,

even
<2532>

denying
<720> (5740)

the Lord
<1203>

that bought
<59> (5660)

them
<846>_,

and bring
<1863> (5723)

upon themselves
<1438>

swift
<5031>

destruction
<684>_.

2:2

And
<2532>

many
<4183>

shall follow
<1811> (5692)

their
<846>

pernicious ways
<684>_;

by reason of
<1223>

whom
<3739>

the way
<3598>

of truth
<225>

shall be evil spoken of
<987> (5701)_.

{pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}

2:3

And
<2532>

through
<1722>

covetousness
<4124>

shall they with feigned
<4112>

words
<3056>

make merchandise
<1710> (5695)

of you
<5209>_:

whose
<3739>

judgment
<2917>

now of a long time
<1597>

lingereth
<691> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

and
<2532>

their
<846>

damnation
<684>

slumbereth
<3573> (5719)

not
<3756>_.

2:4

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

God
<2316>

spared
<5339> (5662)

not
<3756>

the angels
<32>

that sinned
<264> (5660)_,

but
<235>

cast [them] down to hell
<5020> (5660)_,

and delivered
<3860> (5656)

[them] into chains
<4577>

of darkness
<2217>_,

to be reserved
<5083> (5772)

unto
<1519>

judgment
<2920>_;

2:5

And
<2532>

spared
<5339> (5662)

not
<3756>

the old
<744>

world
<2889>_,

but
<235>

saved
<5442> (5656)

Noah
<3575>

the eighth
<3590>

[person], a preacher
<2783>

of righteousness
<1343>_,

bringing in
<1863> (5660)

the flood
<2627>

upon the world
<2889>

of the ungodly
<765>_;

2:6

And
<2532>

turning
<5077> (0)

the cities
<4172>

of Sodom
<4670>

and
<2532>

Gomorrha
<1116>

into ashes
<5077> (5660)

condemned
<2632> (5656)

[them] with an overthrow
<2692>_,

making
<5087> (5761)

[them] an ensample
<5262>

unto those that after should
<3195> (5723)

live ungodly
<764> (5721)_;

2:7

And
<2532>

delivered
<4506> (5673)

just
<1342>

Lot
<3091>_,

vexed
<2669> (5746)

with
<5259>

the filthy
<766>

conversation
<391>

of the wicked
<113>_:

2:8

(For
<1063>

that righteous man
<1342>

dwelling
<1460> (5723)

among
<1722>

them
<846>_,

in seeing
<990>

and
<2532>

hearing
<189>_,

vexed
<928> (5707)

[his] righteous
<1342>

soul
<5590>

from day
<2250>

to
<1537>

day
<2250>

with [their] unlawful
<459>

deeds
<2041>;)

2:9

The Lord
<2962>

knoweth
<1492> (5758)

how to deliver
<4506> (5738)

the godly
<2152>

out of
<1537>

temptations
<3986>_,

and
<1161>

to reserve
<5083> (5721)

the unjust
<94>

unto
<1519>

the day
<2250>

of judgment
<2920>

to be punished
<2849> (5746)_:

2:10

But
<1161>

chiefly
<3122>

them that walk
<4198> (5740)

after
<3694>

the flesh
<4561>

in
<1722>

the lust
<1939>

of uncleanness
<3394>_,

and
<2532>

despise
<2706> (5723)

government
<2963>_.

Presumptuous
<5113>

[are they], selfwilled
<829>_,

they are not
<3756>

afraid
<5141> (5719)

to speak evil
<987> (5723)

of dignities
<1391>_.

{government: or, dominion}

2:11

Whereas
<3699>

angels
<32>_,

which are
<5607> (5752)

greater in
<3187>

power
<2479>

and
<2532>

might
<1411>_,

bring
<5342> (5719)

not
<3756>

railing
<989>

accusation
<2920>

against
<2596>

them
<846>

before
<3844>

the Lord
<2962>_.

{them: some read, themselves}

2:12

But
<1161>

these
<3778>_,

as
<5613>

natural
<5446>

brute
<249>

beasts
<2226>_,

made
<1080> (5772)

to
<1519>

be taken
<259>

and
<2532>

destroyed
<5356>_,

speak evil
<987> (5723)

of
<1722>

the things that
<3739>

they understand not
<50> (5719)_;

and shall utterly perish
<2704> (5691)

in
<1722>

their own
<846>

corruption
<5356>_;

2:13

And shall receive
<2865> (5697)

the reward
<3408>

of unrighteousness
<93>_,

[as] they that count
<2233> (5740)

it pleasure
<2237>

to riot
<5172>

in
<1722>

the day time
<2250>_.

Spots
<4696>

[they are] and
<2532>

blemishes
<3470>_,

sporting themselves
<1792> (5723)

with
<1722>

their own
<846>

deceivings
<539>

while they feast
<4910> (5740)

with you
<5213>_;

2:14

Having
<2192> (5723)

eyes
<3788>

full
<3324>

of adultery
<3428>_,

and
<2532>

that cannot cease from
<180>

sin
<266>_;

beguiling
<1185> (5723)

unstable
<793>

souls
<5590>_:

an heart
<2588>

they have
<2192> (5723)

exercised
<1128> (5772)

with covetous practices
<4124>_;

cursed
<2671>

children
<5043>_:

{adultery: Gr. an adulteress}

2:15

Which have forsaken
<2641> (5631)

the right
<2117>

way
<3598>_,

and are gone astray
<4105> (5681)_,

following
<1811> (5660)

the way
<3598>

of Balaam
<903>

[the son] of Bosor
<1007>_,

who
<3739>

loved
<25> (5656)

the wages
<3408>

of unrighteousness
<93>_;

2:16

But
<1161>

was
<2192> (5627)

rebuked
<1649>

for his
<2398>

iniquity
<3892>_:

the dumb
<880>

ass
<5268>

speaking
<5350> (5674)

with
<1722>

man's
<444>

voice
<5456>

forbad
<2967> (5656)

the madness
<3913>

of the prophet
<4396>_.

2:17

These
<3778>

are
<1526> (5748)

wells
<4077>

without water
<504>_,

clouds
<3507>

that are carried
<1643> (5746)

with
<5259>

a tempest
<2978>_;

to whom
<3739>

the mist
<2217>

of darkness
<4655>

is reserved
<5083> (5769)

for
<1519>

ever
<165>_.

2:18

For
<1063>

when they speak
<5350> (5726)

great swelling
<5246>

[words] of vanity
<3153>_,

they allure
<1185> (5719)

through
<1722>

the lusts
<1939>

of the flesh
<4561>_,

[through much] wantonness
<766>_,

those that were clean
<3689>

escaped
<668> (5631)

from them who live
<390> (5746)

in
<1722>

error
<4106>_.

{clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}

2:19

While they promise
<1861> (5740)

them
<846>

liberty
<1657>_,

they themselves
<846>

are
<5225> (5723)

the servants
<1401>

of corruption
<5356>_:

for
<1063>

of whom
<3739>

a man
<5100>

is overcome
<2274> (5766)_,

<2532>

of the same
<5129>

is he brought in bondage
<1402> (5769)_.

2:20

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

after they have escaped
<668> (5631)

the pollutions
<3393>

of the world
<2889>

through
<1722>

the knowledge
<1922>

of the Lord
<2962>

and
<2532>

Saviour
<4990>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

they are
<1707> (0)

again
<3825>

entangled
<1707> (5651)

therein
<5125>_,

and
<1161>

overcome
<1096> (5754) <2274> (5736)_,

the latter end
<2078>

is worse
<5501>

with them
<846>

than the beginning
<4413>_.

2:21

For
<1063>

it had been
<2258> (5713)

better
<2909>

for them
<846>

not
<3361>

to have known
<1921> (5760)

the way
<3598>

of righteousness
<1343>_,

than
<2228>_,

after they have known
<1921> (5631)

[it], to turn
<1994> (5658)

from
<1537>

the holy
<40>

commandment
<1785>

delivered
<3860> (5685)

unto them
<846>_.

2:22

But
<1161>

it is happened
<4819> (5758)

unto them
<846>

according to
<3588>

the true
<227>

proverb
<3942>_,

The dog
<2965>

[is] turned
<1994> (0)

to
<1909>

his own
<2398>

vomit
<1829>

again
<1994> (5660)_;

and
<2532>

the sow
<5300>

that was washed
<3068> (5671)

to
<1519>

her wallowing
<2946>

in the mire
<1004>_.

3:1

This
<5026>

second
<1208>

epistle
<1992>_,

beloved
<27>_,

I
<1125> (0)

now
<2235>

write
<1125> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_;

in
<1722>

[both] which
<3739>

I stir up
<1326> (5719)

your
<5216>

pure
<1506>

minds
<1271>

by way
<1722>

of remembrance
<5280>_:

3:2

That ye may be mindful
<3415> (5683)

of the words
<4487>

which were spoken before
<4280> (5772)

by
<5259>

the holy
<40>

prophets
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

of the commandment
<1785>

of us
<2257>

the apostles
<652>

of the Lord
<2962>

and
<2532>

Saviour
<4990>_:

3:3

Knowing
<1097> (5723)

this
<5124>

first
<4412>_,

that
<3754>

there shall come
<2064> (5695)

in
<1909>

the last
<2078>

days
<2250>

scoffers
<1703>_,

walking
<4198> (5740)

after
<2596>

their
<846>

own
<2398>

lusts
<1939>_,

3:4

And
<2532>

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Where
<4226>

is
<2076> (5748)

the promise
<1860>

of his
<846>

coming
<3952>_?

for
<1063>

since
<575> <3739>

the fathers
<3962>

fell asleep
<2837> (5681)_,

all things
<3956>

continue
<3779> <1265> (5719)

as [they were] from
<575>

the beginning
<746>

of the creation
<2937>_.

3:5

For
<1063>

this
<5124>

they
<846>

willingly
<2309> (5723)

are ignorant of
<2990> (5719)_,

that
<3754>

by the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

the heavens
<3772>

were
<2258> (5713)

of old
<1597>_,

and
<2532>

the earth
<1093>

standing out
<4921> (5761)

of
<1537>

the water
<5204>

and
<2532>

in
<1223>

the water
<5204>_:

{standing: Gr. consisting}

3:6

Whereby
<1223> <3739>

the world
<2889>

that then was
<5119>_,

being overflowed
<2626> (5685)

with water
<5204>_,

perished
<622> (5639)_:

3:7

But
<1161>

the heavens
<3772>

and
<2532>

the earth
<1093>_,

which are now
<3568>_,

by the same
<846>

word
<3056>

are
<1526> (5748)

kept in store
<2343> (5772)_,

reserved
<5083> (5746)

unto fire
<4442>

against
<1519>

the day
<2250>

of judgment
<2920>

and
<2532>

perdition
<684>

of ungodly
<765>

men
<444>_.

3:8

But
<1161>_,

beloved
<27>_,

be
<2990> (0)

not
<3361> <5209>

ignorant
<2990> (5720)

of this one
<1520>

thing
<5124>_,

that
<3754>

one
<3391>

day
<2250>

[is] with
<3844>

the Lord
<2962>

as
<5613>

a thousand
<5507>

years
<2094>_,

and
<2532>

a thousand
<5507>

years
<2094>

as
<5613>

one
<3391>

day
<2250>_.

3:9

The Lord
<2962>

is
<1019> (0)

not
<3756>

slack
<1019> (5719)

concerning his promise
<1860>_,

as
<5613>

some men
<5100>

count
<2233> (5736)

slackness
<1022>_;

but
<235>

is longsuffering
<3114> (5719)

to
<1519>

us-ward
<2248>_,

not
<3361>

willing
<1014> (5740)

that any
<5100>

should perish
<622> (5641)_,

but
<235>

that all

to
<1519>

repentance

3:10

But
<1161>

the day
<2250>

of the Lord
<2962>

will come
<2240> (5692)

as
<5613>

a thief
<2812>

in
<1722>

the night
<3571>_;

in
<1722>

the which
<3739>

the heavens
<3772>

shall pass away
<3928> (5695)

with a great noise
<4500>_,

and
<1161>

the elements
<4747>

shall melt
<3089> (5701)

with fervent heat
<2741> (5746)_,

the earth
<1093>

also
<2532>

and
<2532>

the works
<2041>

that are therein
<1722> <846>

shall be burned up
<2618> (5691)_.

3:11

[Seeing] then
<3767>

[that] all
<3956>

these things
<5130>

shall be dissolved
<3089> (5746)_,

what manner
<4217>

[of persons] ought
<1163> (5748)

ye
<5209>

to be
<5225> (5721)

in
<1722>

[all] holy
<40>

conversation
<391>

and
<2532>

godliness
<2150>_,

3:12

Looking for
<4328> (5723)

and
<2532>

hasting
<4692> (5723)

unto the coming
<3952>

of the day
<2250>

of God
<2316>_,

wherein
<1223> <3739>

the heavens
<3772>

being on fire
<4448> (5746)

shall be dissolved
<3089> (5701)_,

and
<2532>

the elements
<4747>

shall melt
<5080> (5743)

with fervent heat
<2741> (5746)_?

{hasting...: or, hasting the coming}

3:13

Nevertheless
<1161>

we
<4328> (0)_,

according to
<2596>

his
<846>

promise
<1862>_,

look for
<4328> (5719)

new
<2537>

heavens
<3772>

and
<2532>

a new
<2537>

earth
<1093>_,

wherein
<1722> <3739>

dwelleth
<2730> (5719)

righteousness
