2 Peter 1:12-21 - Salvation Based On The Word Of God
12 I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you. 13 So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you, 14 since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me. 15 So I will do my best to enable you, even after my departure, continually to call these things to mind.
16 For we were not following cunningly devised fables, when we told you of the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his Majesty. 17 For he did receive honor and glory from God the Father, when there was borne such a voice to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight;
18 and this voice we ourselves heard, borne to us out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy hill. 19 And so we possess the word of prophecy made yet more sure. Unto this you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 But first be assured of this??hat no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation. 21 For no prophecy was ever brought by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke for God.
