rwbs - 2Peter:1

rwbs@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: (note:)Simon: or, Symeon(:note)God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour

rwbs@2Peter:1:2 @ Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

rwbs@2Peter:1:3 @ According as his divine power hath given to us all things that to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: (note:)to: or, by(:note)

rwbs@2Peter:1:4 @ By which are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

rwbs@2Peter:1:5 @ And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

rwbs@2Peter:1:6 @ And to knowledge self–control; and to self–control patience; and to patience godliness;

rwbs@2Peter:1:7 @ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

rwbs@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these things are in you, and abound, they make neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (note:)barren: Gr. idle(:note)

rwbs@2Peter:1:9 @ But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins.

rwbs@2Peter:1:10 @ Therefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

rwbs@2Peter:1:11 @ For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

rwbs@2Peter:1:12 @ Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know, and are established in the present truth.

rwbs@2Peter:1:13 @ Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting in remembrance;

rwbs@2Peter:1:14 @ Knowing that shortly I must put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.

rwbs@2Peter:1:15 @ Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

rwbs@2Peter:1:16 @ 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 eyewitnesses of his majesty.

rwbs@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

rwbs@2Peter:1:18 @ And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.

rwbs@2Peter:1:19 @ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

rwbs@2Peter:1:20 @ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

rwbs@2Peter:1:21 @ For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke moved by the Holy Spirit. (note:)in old time: or, at any time(:note)
