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

¹² Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth. ¹³ But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance; ¹⁴ knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me. ¹⁵ And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things.

¹⁶ For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹⁸ We, being with him in the holy mount, heard this voice borne from heaven. ¹⁹ And we have the more certain word of prophecy; to which you do well giving heed, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day may dawn, and the morning-star may rise in your hearts: ²⁰ know this in the first place, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. ²¹ For in the olden time prophecy did not come by the will of man: but men moved by the Holy Ghost spoke from God.
