And beside <0846-autos-> this <5124-touto->, giving <3923- pareisphero-> all diligence <4710-spoude->, add <2023- epichoregeo-> to your <5216-humon-> faith <4102-pistis-> virtue <0703-arete->; and to virtue <0703-arete-> knowledge <1108- gnosis->; 6 And to knowledge <1108-gnosis-> temperance <1466-egkrateia->; and to temperance <1466-egkrateia-> patience <5281-hupomone->; and to patience <5281-hupomone-> godliness <2150-eusebeia->; 7 And to godliness <2150-eusebeia-> brotherly <5360- philadelphia-> kindness <5360-philadelphia->; and to brotherly <5360-philadelphia-> kindness <5360-philadelphia-> charity <0026- agape->. 8 For if these <5023-tauta-> things be in you, and abound <4121- pleonazo->, they make <2525-kathistemi-> [you that ye shall] neither <3756-ou-> [be] barren <0692-argos-> nor <3761-oude-> unfruitful <0175-akarpos-> in the knowledge <1922-epignosis-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547- Christos->. 9 But he that lacketh <3918-pareimi-> these <5023-tauta-> things is blind <5185-tuphlos->, and cannot <3467-muopazo-> see <3467-muopazo-> afar <3467-muopazo-> off, and hath forgotten <2983-lambano-> that he was purged <2512-katharismos-> from his old <3819-palai-> sins <0266-hamartia->. 10 Wherefore <1352-dio-> the rather <3123-mallon->, brethren <0080-adephos->, give diligence <4710-spoude-> to make <4160- poieo-> your <5216-humon-> calling <2821-klesis-> and election <1589-ekloge-> sure <0949-bebaios->: for if ye do <4160-poieo-> these <5023-tauta-> things, ye shall never <4219-pote-> fall <4417-ptaio->: 11 For so <3779-houto-> an entrance <1529-eisodos-> shall be ministered <2023-epichoregeo-> unto you abundantly <4146- plousios-> into <1519-eis-> the everlasting <0166-aionios-> kingdom <0932-basileia-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> and Saviour <4990-soter-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->. 12. Wherefore <1352-dio-> I will not be negligent <0272-ameleo- > to put <5279-hupomimnesko-> you always <0104-aei-> in remembrance <5179-tupos-> of these <5130-touton-> things, though <2539-kaiper-> ye know <1492-eido-> [them], and be established <4741-sterizo-> in the present <3918-pareimi-> truth <0225- aletheia->. 13 Yea <1161-de->, I think <2233-hegeomai-> it meet <1342- dikaios->, as long as I am <1510-eimi-> in this <5129-toutoi-> tabernacle <4638-skenoma->, to stir <1326-diegeiro-> you up by putting <5279-hupomimnesko-> [you] in remembrance <5280- hupomnesis->; 14 Knowing <1492-eido-> that shortly <5031-tachinos-> I must put <0595-apothesis-> off <0595-apothesis-> [this <3588-ho->] my tabernacle <4638-skenoma->, even <2532-kai-> as our Lord <2962- kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> hath shewed <1213-deloo-> me. 15 Moreover <2532-kai-> I will endeavour <4704-spoudazo-> that ye may be able <2192-echo-> after <3326-meta-> my decease <1841- exodos-> to have these <5130-touton-> things always <1539- hekastote-> in remembrance <3420-mneme->. 16. For we have not followed <1811-exakoloutheo-> cunningly devised <4679-sophizo-> fables <3454-muthos->, when we made <1107-gnorizo-> known <1107-gnorizo-> unto you the power <1411- dunamis-> and coming <3952-parousia-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, but were eyewitnesses <2030-epoptes-> of his majesty <3168-megaleiotes->. 17 For he received <2983-lambano-> from God <2316-theos-> the Father <3962-pater-> honour <5092-time-> and glory <1391-doxa->, when there came <5342-phero-> such <5107-toiosde-> a voice <5456- phone-> to him from the excellent <3169-megaloprepes-> glory <1391-doxa->, This <3778-houtos-> is my beloved <0027-agapetos-> Son <5207-huios->, in whom <3739-hos-> I am well <2106-eudokeo-> pleased <2106-eudokeo->. 18 And this <5026-taute-> voice <5456-phone-> which came <5342- phero-> from heaven <3772-ouranos-> we heard <0191-akouo->, when we were with him in the holy <0040-hagios-> mount <3735-oros->. 19. We have <2192-echo-> also <2532-kai-> a more sure <0949- bebaios-> word <3056-logos-> of prophecy <4397-prophetikos->; whereunto <3739-hos-> ye do <4160-poieo-> well <2573-kalos-> that ye take heed <0433-aneko->, as unto a light <3088-luchnos-> that shineth <5316-phaino-> in a dark <0850-auchmeros-> place <5117-topos->, until <2193-heos-> the day <2250-hemera-> dawn <1306-diaugazo->, and the day <5459-phosphoros-> star <5459- phosphoros-> arise <0393-anatello-> in your <5216-humon-> hearts <2588-kardia->: 20 Knowing <1097-ginosko-> this <5124-touto-> first <4412- proton->, that no <3756-ou-> prophecy <4394-propheteia-> of the scripture <1124-graphe-> is of any private <2398-idios-> interpretation <1955-epilusis->. 21 For the prophecy <4394-propheteia-> came <5342-phero-> not in old <4218-pote-> time <4218-pote-> by the will <2307-thelema- > of man <0444-anthropos->: but holy <0040-hagios-> men <0444- anthropos-> of God <2316-theos-> spake <2980-laleo-> [as they were] moved <5342-phero-> by the Holy <0040-hagios-> Ghost <4151- pneuma->. 2Peter 2 1. But there were false <5578-pseudoprophetes-> prophets <5578- pseudoprophetes-> also <2532-kai-> among <1722-en-> the people <2992-laos->, even <2532-kai-> as there shall be false <5572- pseudodidaskalos-> teachers <5572-pseudodidaskalos-> among <1722- en-> you, who <3748-hostis-> privily <3919-pareisago-> shall bring <3918-pareimi-> in damnable <0684-apoleia-> heresies <0139- hairesis->, even <2532-kai-> denying <0720-arneomai-> the Lord <1203-despotes-> that bought <0059-agorazo-> them, and bring <3918-pareimi-> upon themselves <1438-heautou-> swift <5031- tachinos-> destruction <0684-apoleia->. 2 And many <4183-polus-> shall follow <1811-exakoloutheo-> their pernicious <0684-apoleia-> ways <0684-apoleia->; by reason <1223-dia-> of whom <3739-hos-> the way <3598-hodos-> of truth <0225-aletheia-> shall be evil <0987-blasphemeo-> spoken <0987- blasphemeo-> of. 3.

This <5026-taute-> second <1208-deuteros-> epistle <1992- epistole->, beloved <0027-agapetos->, I now <2236-hedista-> write <1125-grapho-> unto you; in [both] which <3739-hos-> I stir <1326-diegeiro-> up your <5216-humon-> pure <1506- eilikrines-> minds <1271-dianoia-> by way <1722-en-> of remembrance <5280-hupomnesis->: 2 That ye may be mindful <3403-mimnesko-> of the words <4487- rhema-> which were spoken <4280-proereo-> before <4280-proereo-> by the holy <0040-hagios-> prophets <4396-prophetes->, and of the commandment <1785-entole-> of us the apostles <0652- apostolos-> of the Lord <2962-kurios-> and Saviour <4990-soter->: 3.

The Lord <2962-kurios-> is not slack <1019-braduno-> concerning <4314-pros-> his promise <1860-epaggelia->, as some <5100-tis-> men count <2233-hegeomai-> slackness <1022-bradutes- >; but is longsuffering to us-ward <2248-hemas->, not willing <1014-boo-lom-ahee-> that any <5100-tis-> should perish <0622- apollumi->, but that all <3956-pas-> should come <5562-choreo-> to repentance <3341-metanoia->. 10 But the day <2250-hemera-> of the Lord <2962-kurios-> will come <2240-heko-> as a thief <2812-kleptes-> in the night <3571- nux->; in the which <3739-hos-> the heavens <3772-ouranos-> shall pass <3928-parerchomai-> away with a great noise <4500- rhoizedon->, and the elements <4747-stoicheion-> shall melt <3089-luo-> with fervent heat <2741-kausoo->, the earth <1093-ge- > also <2532-kai-> and the works <2041-ergon-> that are therein <0846-autos-> shall be burned <2618-katakaio-> up. 11.
