as all things of his divine power to us, things toward life and piety, which were granted through the knowledge of him who called us through glory and virtue.

For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased.

And we heard this voice, which was brought out of heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.

Therefore, beloved, anticipating these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, without spot and blameless.

And consider the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him,

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him is the glory both now and into the day of the age. Truly.
