2 Peter 1:12-21 - Salvation Based On The Word Of God

¹² Wherefore, I shall be certain to be, always, putting you in remembrance concerning these things, - although, indeed, ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth; ¹³ Right, nevertheless, I account it - as long as I am in this tent, to be stirring you up by putting you in remembrance, ¹⁴ Knowing that, speedy, is the putting off of my tent - even as, our Lord Jesus Christ also, made clear to me: ¹⁵ Yea, I will give diligence also, that, at every time, ye may be able, after my own departure, to be keeping up the remembrance of, these very things.

¹⁶ For, not as having followed, cleverly devised stories, made we known unto you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but as having been made, spectators, of his majesty. ¹⁷ For, when he received from God the Father honour and glory, a voice, being borne to him such as this, by the magnificent glory - My Son, the beloved, is, this, in whom, I, delight,

¹⁸ Even this voice, we, heard, when, out of heaven, it was borne, we being, with him, in the holy mount. ¹⁹ And we have, more firm, the prophetic word; - whereunto ye are doing, well, to take heed, - as unto a lamp shining in a dusky place, - until, day, shall dawn, and, a day-star, shall arise in your hearts: - ²⁰ Of this, first, taking note - that, no prophecy of scripture, becometh, self-solving; ²¹ For not, by will of man, was prophecy brought in, at any time, but, as, by Holy Spirit, they were borne along, spake, men, from God.
