2 Peter 1:12-21 - Salvation Based On The Word Of God
12 Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it fit, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up, by putting you in remembrance; 14 knowing, that the putting off of this, my tabernacle, is soon to happen, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me. 15 Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his grandeur; 17 for when he received from God the Father honor and glory, a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight."
18 And this voice we heard come from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain: 19 so we have the prophetic word more firm; to which you do well to take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning star arise in your hearts. 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy brought by the will of man; 21 but the holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
