2 Peter 1:12-21 - Salvation Based On The Word Of God
12 Therefore I intend to remind you continually concerning these [things], although [you] know [them] and are established in the truth that you have. 13 But I consider [it] right, for as long as I am in this habitation, to stir you up by a reminder, 14 [because I] know that the removal of my habitation is imminent, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will also make every effort [that] you are able at any time, after my departure, {to recall these things to mind}.
16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ [by] following ingeniously concocted myths, but [by] being eyewitnesses of that one's majesty. 17 For [he] received honor and glory from God the Father [when] a voice such as this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 And [we] ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven [when we] were with him on the holy mountain, 19 and we possess [as] more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well [if you] pay attention to [it] as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 recognizing this above all, that every prophecy of scripture does not come about from one's own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
