rwp @2Peter:1:21 @{For } (\gar \). The reason for the previous statement that no prophet starts a prophecy himself . He is not a self-starter . {Came } (\ˆnechth ˆ\). First aorist passive indicative of \pher “\ (verses 17f .|). {By the will of man } (\thel ˆmati anthr “pou \). Instrumental case of \thel ˆma \. Prophecy is of divine origin , not of one 's private origination (\idias epiluse “s \). {Moved by the Holy Ghost } (\hupo pneumatos hagiou pheromenoi \). Present passive participle of \pher “\, moved from time to time . There they "spoke from God ." Peter is not here warning against personal interpretation of prophecy as the Roman Catholics say , but against the folly of upstart prophets with no impulse from God .
