ABP - II Peter - 1

1:1  Simon Peter, a bondman and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the ones equally honored with us having obtained belief in righteousness of our God and deliverer Jesus Christ.

1:2  Favor to you and [2peace 1may] be multiplied in full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

1:3  as all things to us [2divine 3power 1of his], the things for life and piety, being presented through the full knowledge of the one having called us by glory and virtue,

1:4  by which [2the things 3esteemed 4for us 5and 6greatest 7declarations 1he has presented], that through these you should become [2divine 1partners of] nature, having escaped the [2in 3the world 4by 5lust 1corruption].

1:5  [3also 2for this same reason 1And], [3diligence 2all 1adding], supply in the belief of yours the virtue, and in the virtue the knowledge,

1:6  and in the knowledge the self-control, and in the self-control the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,

1:7  and in the piety the brotherly affection, and in the brotherly affection the love!

1:8  For these things being in you, and being superabundant, [2not 3idle 4nor 5unfruitful 1they stand] in the [2of our Lord 3Jesus 4Christ 1full knowledge].

1:9  But in whom [2are not 3at hand 1these things] is blind, losing sight, [2forgetfulness 1having taken] of the cleansing of his earlier sins.

1:10  Therefore rather, brethren, hurry [6firm 2your 3calling 4and 5selection 1to make]! for these things doing, in no way should you fail at some time or other.

1:11  For thus richly shall be supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and deliverer Jesus Christ.

1:12  Therefore I shall not neglect [2you 3continually 1to remind] concerning these things, though knowing, and being fixed firmly in the [2at hand 1truth].

1:13  But justly I esteem it, for as long as I am in this tent, to awaken you by recollection;

1:14  knowing that [5quick 4is 1the 2getting rid 3of my tent], as also our Lord Jesus Christ manifested to me.

1:15  But I will hurry also always for you to have after my exodus, the [3of these things 2remembrance 1making].

1:16  For not [2discerning 3fables 1following after] did we make known to you the [4of our Lord 5Jesus 6Christ 1power 2and 3arrival], but [2spectators 1having been] of that ones' magnificence.

1:17  For having received from God the father honor and glory, [2voice 3having been brought 4to him 1such a] by the majestic glory, saying, This is my son the beloved, in whom I take pleasure in.

1:18  And this voice we heard [2from 3heaven 1brought], [2with 3him 1being] on the [2mountain 1holy].

1:19  And we have more firm the prophetic word; which well you do heeding, as a lamp shining forth in a dismal place, until which day should shine through, and the morning star should arise in your hearts.

1:20  This first knowing, that every prophecy of scripture [3by private 4explanation 1does not 2take place].

1:21  For not by will of man was [2borne 3at some time or other 1prophecy], but by [2spirit 1holy] being borne [5spoke 1the 2holy 4of God 3men].
