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 having known, and being supported in the present truth. 13 And I deem just, in as far as I am in this tent, to arouse you by putting in mind; 14 Knowing that the laying aside of my tent is swift; as also our Lord Jesus Christ manifested to me. 15 And I shall also be earnest for you always to have, after my exit, this putting in mind to be done.
16 For not having followed ingeniously contrived fictions, we made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been spectators of his majesty. 17 For having received from God the Father honour and glory, and such a voice brought to him from the magnificent glory, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.
18 And this voice brought from heaven we heard, being with him in the holy mountain. 19 And we have the prophetic word more firm; which holding to, ye do well, as to a light shining in a dusty place, even till the day shine through, and the morning star spring up in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that every prophecy of the writing is not of private solution. 21 For prophecy was not once brought by the will of man: but holy men of God spake, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
