2 Peter 1:12-21 - Salvation Based On The Word Of God
12 Wherefore, I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth. 13 Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you by putting you in remembrance. 14 For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 But I will earnestly endeavor that you may be able, even after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came to him from the magnificent glory a voice, such as this: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
18 And this voice, which came from heaven, we heard when we were with him in the holy mount; 19 and we have the prophetic word better established. You do well to attend to this, as to a lamp that shines in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture came from private interpretation: 21 for the prophecy came not at any time by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
