2Peter:1:12-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Wherefore ,
I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things ,
although you know ,
and are established in the present truth .
*
Yes ,
I think it fit ,
as long as I am in this tabernacle ,
to stir you up ,
by putting you in remembrance ;
*
knowing ,
that the putting off of this ,
my tabernacle ,
is soon to happen ,
even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me .
*
Therefore ,
I will carefully endeavor that you may be able ,
after my decease ,
to have these things always in remembrance .
*
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables ,
when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
but were eye-witnesses of his grandeur ;
* «
for when he received from God the Father honor and glory ,
a vice to this effect came to him from the magnificent glory ,» '
This is my Son ,
the beloved ,
in whom I delight .'
*
And this voice we heard come from heaven ,
being with him on the holy mountain :
*
so we have the prophetic word more firm ;
to which you do well to take heed ,
as to a lamp shining in a dark place ,
till the day dawn ,
and the morning star arise in your hearts .
*
Knowing this first ,
that no prophecy brought by the will of man ;
*
but the holy men of God spoke ,
being moved by the Holy Spirit .
