But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling out your faith with virtue, and with virtue, knowledge;

But I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder,

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."

And we heard this voice being borne from Heaven, being with Him in the holy mountain.

knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture came into being of its own private interpretation.

promising them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom anyone has been overcome, even to this one he has been enslaved.

Beloved, I now write this second letter to you, in which I stir up your pure mind by reminder

First, knowing this, that there will come in the last days scoffers walking according to their own lusts

For this is hidden from them by their willing it, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of the water, and through water, being held together by the Word of God,

But, beloved, let not this one thing be hidden from you, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.

And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.

But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.

And this is the promise that He has promised us: everlasting life.

And everyone who has this hope on him purifies himself, even as that One is pure.

He who practices sin is of the Devil, for the Devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed, that He might undo the works of the Devil.

In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the Devil: everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God, also he who does not love his brother.

For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

By this we have known the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?

And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him,

And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

And he who keeps His commandment dwells in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God;

and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the antichrist you heard is coming, and even now is already in the world.

We are of God. He who knows God hears us. The one who is not of God does not hear us. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation concerning our sins.

By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world.

And we have this commandment from Him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.

By this we know that we love the children of God, whenever we love God and keep His commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.

For everything that has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith.

This is He who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by the water and blood. And the Spirit is He who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God which He has testified about His Son.

And this is the record, that God has given to us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son.

And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the everlasting life.

And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

For many deceivers have entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the anti-christ.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, nor speak a greeting to him.

For certain men crept in secretly, those having been of old previously written into this condemnation, ungodly ones perverting the grace of our God for unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed is the one who reads and hears the Words of this prophecy, and the ones keeping the things written in it, for the time is near.

Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be after this,

But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

But to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak, I will put on you no other burden.

The one who overcomes, this one will be clothed in white clothing. And I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

And the seventh angel sounded. And there were great voices in Heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ. And He will reign forever and ever.

But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.

Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book.

Then he said to me, Behold! See, do not do it! For I am your fellow-servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Do worship to God.

And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book; for the time is at hand.

For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book.

And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.
