Shimôn Kêph, a slave andG2532 anG1722 apóstolosG652 ofG3588 YahushaG2424 Mâshı̂yach, to them that haveG2254 obtainedG2975 equal value faithG4102 with usG2257 through the justification of Êlôhîym and our Sotír Yahusha Mâshı̂yach:
GraceG5485 andG2532 peaceG1515 beG3588 multipliedG4129 untoG1722 youG5213 through the knowledgeG1922 of Êlôhîym, and of YahushaG2424 ourG2257 Âdônây,
AccordingG4314 asG5613 hisG846 divineG2304 powerG1411 has givenG1433 unto usG2254 allG3956 thingsG3588 thatG2532 pertain unto lifeG2222 and pietyG2150, throughG1223 the knowledgeG1922 of him that has calledG2564 usG2248 to gloryG1391 and virtueG703:
WhichG3739 areG3588 givenG1433 untoG1722 usG2254 exceeding greatG3173 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG3778 you might beG1096 partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is in the worldG2889 throughG5130 lustG1939.
AndG2532 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG3588 virtue knowledgeG1108;
AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 self control; and toG3588 self control patienceG5281; and to patience pietyG2150;
AndG1161 toG1722 pietyG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; and toG3588 brotherly kindness loveG26.
ForG1063 ifG2532 theseG3778 thingsG5023 areG3588 inG1519 youG5213, and aboundG4121, they makeG2525 you thatG3756 you shall neither beG5225 barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 in the knowledgeG1922 of ourG2257 Âdônây YahushaG2424 Mâshı̂yach.
ButG3361 heG846 thatG3739 lacks theseG3778 thingsG5023 isG2076 blindG5185, andG1063 cannot see afar offG3467, and has forgottenG3024 that heG266 wasG1510 cleansed fromG2512 his oldG3819 sins.
ThereforeG1352 in a greater degree, brethrenG80, giveG3361 diligenceG4704 toG3588 makeG4160 yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if you do theseG3778 thingsG5023, you shallG4218 neverG3364 fall:
ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG1529 shall beG1519 ministeredG2023 unto youG5213 abundantlyG4146 intoG2532 theG3588 everlastingG166 kingdomG932 of ourG2257 Âdônây and Sotír YahushaG2424 Mâshı̂yach.
ThereforeG1352 IG3756 willG272 not beG3588 negligent toG1722 putG5279 youG5209 alwaysG104 inG4012 remembrance ofG1492 theseG3778 thingsG5130, thoughG2539 you know them, andG2532 areG3918 confirmed in the present truthG225.
YeaG1161, IG1510 thinkG2233 itG3778 isG3588 rightG1342, asG3745 longG1909 asG1722 I am in thisG5129 tabernacle, to stirG1326 youG5209 up by putting you in remembranceG5280;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 shortlyG5031 IG1473 mustG2076 put offG595 this myG3450 tabernacle, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG2257 Âdônây YahushaG2424 Mâshı̂yach has showed meG3427.
MoreoverG1161 IG4160 will prompt thatG2532 youG5209 mayG2192 beG3588 able afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to have theseG3778 thingsG5130 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
ForG1063 weG2257 haveG1096 notG3756 followedG1811 cunningly devisedG4679 fablesG3454, whenG2532 we made knownG1107 unto youG5213 theG3588 powerG1411 andG235 comingG3952 of our Âdônây YahushaG2424 Mâshı̂yach, but were eyewitnessesG2030 of hisG1565 majestyG3168.
ForG1063 heG846 receivedG2983 fromG3844 Êlôhîym theG3739 fatherG3962 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391, whenG5259 thereG2076 cameG5342 suchG5107 a voiceG5456 toG1519 him from theG3588 excellentG3169 glory, thisG3778 isG1510 myG3450 belovedG27 sonG5207, in whom IG1473 am well pleasedG2106.
AndG2532 thisG3778 voiceG5456 thatG846 cameG5342 fromG1537 heavenG3772 weG2249 heardG191, whenG1722 we wereG5607 withG4862 him in theG5026 sacred mountG3735.
WeG2192 haveG4160 alsoG2532 a sureG949 word ofG1722 prophecyG4397; whereG3739 youG5216 doG3056 wellG2573 thatG5613 you pay attention, asG2193 unto a lightG3088 that shines in a darkG850 placeG5117, until theG3588 dayG2250 dawnG1306, and the day starG5459 ariseG393 in your heartsG2588:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412 thatG3754 noG3756 prophecyG4394 ofG3956 the scriptureG1124 isG1096 of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
ForG1063 theG3588 prophecyG4394 did notG3756 come in old timeG4218 byG5259 the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 sacred men of Êlôhîym spoke as theyG2980 were movedG5342 by the rûach Qôdesh.
