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

¹² Therefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth. ¹³ But I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder, ¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will also be diligent to cause you to always have memory of these things after my departure.

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

¹⁸ And we heard this voice being borne from Heaven, being with Him in the holy mountain. ¹⁹ We also have a more sure Word of prophecy, to which you do well to take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Daystar arises in your hearts, ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture came into being of its own private interpretation. ²¹ For prophecy was not borne at any time by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke being borne along by the Holy Spirit.
