And also this same, having brought in at the side all earnestness, furnish in addition in your faith fitness; and In fitness knowledge;

And I deem just, in as far as I am in this tent, to arouse you by putting in mind;

And I shall also be earnest for you always to have, after my exit, this putting in mind to be done.

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.

And this voice brought from heaven we heard, being with him in the holy mountain.

Knowing this first, that every prophecy of the writing is not of private solution.

Now this, dearly beloved, the second epistle I write to you; in which I awaken your pure mind by putting in remembrance:

Knowing this first, that in the last of the days shall mockers come for deceiving, going according to their own eager desires,

For being willing this is unknown to them, that the heavens were a long while ago, and the earth having stood out of water and by water, by the word of God:

And let not this one thing be unknown to you, dearly beloved, that one day with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
