00:00.000 --> 00:02.240
The Second Epistle General of Peter.

00:02.980 --> 00:03.840
Chapter 1.

00:04.840 --> 00:09.720
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of
Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained

00:09.720 --> 00:13.400
like precious faith with us through the
righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus

00:13.400 --> 00:19.600
Christ, grace and peace be multiplied unto
you through the knowledge of God and of

00:19.600 --> 00:25.080
Jesus our Lord, according as his divine
power hath given unto us all things that

00:25.080 --> 00:29.740
pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath

00:29.740 --> 00:35.380
called us to glory and virtue,
whereby are given unto us exceeding great

00:35.380 --> 00:41.540
and precious promises, that by these ye
might be partakers of the divine nature,

00:42.200 --> 00:46.560
having escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust.

00:47.760 --> 00:53.760
And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue, and to virtue

00:53.760 --> 00:59.900
knowledge, and to knowledge temperance,
and to temperance patience, and to

00:59.900 --> 01:06.660
patience godliness, and to godliness
brotherly kindness, and to brotherly

01:06.660 --> 01:08.440
kindness charity.

01:09.300 --> 01:15.160
For if these things be in you and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be

01:15.160 --> 01:18.680
barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ.

01:19.840 --> 01:25.780
But he that lacketh these things is blind
and cannot see afar off, and hath

01:25.780 --> 01:28.940
forgotten that he was purged from his old
sins.

01:30.140 --> 01:33.800
Wherefore, the rather brethren,
give diligence to make your calling and

01:33.800 --> 01:34.640
election sure.

01:35.240 --> 01:39.820
For if ye do these things, ye shall never
fall, for so an entrance shall be

01:39.820 --> 01:45.120
ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior

01:45.120 --> 01:46.100
Jesus Christ.

01:47.260 --> 01:51.400
Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put
you always in remembrance of these things,

01:51.400 --> 01:54.860
though ye know them, and be established in
the present truth.

01:55.900 --> 02:01.400
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in
this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting

02:01.400 --> 02:07.220
you in remembrance, knowing that shortly I
must put off this my tabernacle,

02:07.600 --> 02:09.900
even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed
me.

02:10.760 --> 02:15.920
Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be
able after my decease to have these things

02:15.920 --> 02:17.440
always in remembrance.

02:18.480 --> 02:23.460
For we have not followed cunningly devised
fables when we made known unto you the

02:23.460 --> 02:29.060
power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

02:30.340 --> 02:35.880
For he received from God the Father honor
and glory, when there came such a voice to

02:35.880 --> 02:43.200
him from the excellent glory, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

02:44.140 --> 02:48.560
And this voice which came from heaven we
heard, when we were with him in the holy

02:48.560 --> 02:48.880
mount.

02:50.180 --> 02:55.480
We have also a more sure word of prophecy,
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,

02:56.060 --> 03:00.420
as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn and the day star

03:00.420 --> 03:06.960
arise in your hearts, knowing this first,
that no prophecy of the scripture is of

03:06.960 --> 03:08.600
any private interpretation.

03:09.780 --> 03:15.120
For the prophecy came not in old time by
the will of man, but holy men of God spake

03:15.120 --> 03:17.980
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
