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

¹² Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you. ¹³ Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; ¹⁴ knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me. ¹⁵ Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when such a voice as this was borne to him from the excellent glory: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

¹⁸ And this voice we heard borne from heaven when we were with him in the holy mount. ¹⁹ And we have more sure the prophetic word, to which ye do well in taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture cometh from private interpretation. ²¹ For prophecy never came by the will of man; but moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.
