wmth 2Peter:1:12-21
wmth@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things, although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess.
wmth@2Peter:1:13 @ But I think it right, so long as I remain in the body, my present dwelling-place, to arouse you by such reminders.
wmth@2Peter:1:14 @ For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me.
wmth@2Peter:1:15 @ So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.
wmth@2Peter:1:16 @ For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.
wmth@2Peter:1:17 @ He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, »This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight.«
wmth@2Peter:1:18 @ And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
wmth@2Peter:1:19 @ And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention –as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place– until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
wmth@2Peter:1:20 @ But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting;
wmth@2Peter:1:21 @ for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
