1:1 Simon 4826 Peter 4074, a servant 1401 and 2532 an apostle 652 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, to them that have obtained 2975 5631 like precious 2472 faith 4102 with us 2254 through 1722 the righteousness 1343 of God 2316 and 2532 our 2257 Saviour 4990 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547:(Simon: or, Symeon)(God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour)

1:2 Grace 5485 and 2532 peace 1515 be multiplied 4129 5684 unto you 5213 through 1722 the knowledge 1922 of God 2316, and 2532 of Jesus 2424 our 2257 Lord 2962,

1:3 According as 5613 his 846 divine 2304 power 1411 hath given 1433 5772 unto us 2254 all things 3956 that [pertain] unto 4314 life 2222 and 2532 godliness 2150, through 1223 the knowledge 1922 of him that hath called 2564 5660 us 2248 to 1223 glory 1391 and 2532 virtue 703:(to: or, by)

1:4 Whereby 1223 3739 are given 1433 5769 unto us 2254 exceeding great 3176 and 2532 precious 5093 promises 1862: that 2443 by 1223 these 5130 ye might be 1096 5638 partakers 2844 of the divine 2304 nature 5449, having escaped 668 5631 the corruption 5356 that is in 1722 the world 2889 through 1722 lust 1939.

1:5 And 2532 1161 beside 846 this 5124, giving 3923 5660 all 3956 diligence 4710, add 2023 5657 to 1722 your 5216 faith 4102 virtue 703; and 1161 to 1722 virtue 703 knowledge 1108;

1:6 And 1161 to 1722 knowledge 1108 temperance 1466; and 1161 to 1722 temperance 1466 patience 5281; and 1161 to 1722 patience 5281 godliness 2150;

1:7 And 1161 to 1722 godliness 2150 brotherly kindness 5360; and 1161 to 1722 brotherly kindness 5360 charity 26.

1:8 For 1063 if these things 5023 be 5225 5723 in you 5213, and 2532 abound 4121 5723, they make 2525 5719 [you that ye shall] neither 3756 [be] barren 692 nor 3761 unfruitful 175 in 1519 the knowledge 1922 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.(barren: Gr. idle)

1:9 But 1063 he that 3739 lacketh 3361 3918 5748 these things 5023 is 2076 5748 blind 5185, and cannot see afar off 3467 5723, and hath forgotten 3024 2983 5631 that he was purged from 2512 his 846 old 3819 sins 266.

1:10 Wherefore 1352 the rather 3123, brethren 80, give diligence 4704 5657 to make 4160 5733 your 5216 calling 2821 and 2532 election 1589 sure 949: for 1063 if ye do 4160 5723 these things 5023, ye shall 4218 0 4417 0 never 3364 fall 4218 4417 5661:

1:11 For 1063 so 3779 an entrance 1529 shall be ministered 2023 5701 unto you 5213 abundantly 4146 into 1519 the everlasting 166 kingdom 932 of our 2257 Lord 2962 and 2532 Saviour 4990 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.

1:12 Wherefore 1352 I will 272 0 not 3756 be negligent 272 5692 to put 5279 0 you 5209 always 104 in remembrance 5279 5721 of 4012 these things 5130, though 2539 ye know 1492 5761 [them], and 2532 be established 4741 5772 in 1722 the present 3918 5752 truth 225.

1:13 Yea 1161, I think it 2233 5736 meet 1342, as long as 1909 3745 I am 1510 5748 in 1722 this 5129 tabernacle 4638, to stir 1326 0 you 5209 up 1326 5721 by 1722 putting [you] in remembrance 5280;

1:14 Knowing 1492 5761 that 3754 shortly 5031 I must 2076 5748 put off 595 [this] my 3450 tabernacle 4638, even 2532 as 2531 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 hath shewed 1213 5656 me 3427.

1:15 Moreover 1161 2532 I will endeavour 4704 5692 that ye 5209 may be able 2192 5721 after 3326 my 1699 decease 1841 to have 4160 5733 these things 5130 always 1539 in remembrance 3420.

1:16 For 1063 we have 1811 0 not 3756 followed 1811 5660 cunningly devised 4679 5772 fables 3454, when we made known 1107 5656 unto you 5213 the power 1411 and 2532 coming 3952 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, but 235 were 1096 5679 eyewitnesses 2030 of his 1565 majesty 3168.

1:17 For 1063 he received 2983 5631 from 3844 God 2316 the Father 3962 honour 5092 and 2532 glory 1391, when there came 5342 5685 such 5107 a voice 5456 to him 846 from 5259 the excellent 3169 glory 1391, This 3778 is 2076 5748 my 3450 beloved 27 Son 5207, in 1519 whom 3739 I 1473 am well pleased 2106 5656.

1:18 And 2532 this 5026 voice 5456 which came 5342 5685 from 1537 heaven 3772 we 2249 heard 191 5656, when we were 5607 5752 with 4862 him 846 in 1722 the holy 40 mount 3735.

1:19 We have 2192 5719 also 2532 a more sure 949 word 3056 of prophecy 4397; whereunto 3739 ye do 4160 5719 well 2573 that ye take heed 4337 5723, as 5613 unto a light 3088 that shineth 5316 5730 in 1722 a dark 850 place 5117, until 2193 3739 the day 2250 dawn 1306 5661, and 2532 the day star 5459 arise 393 5661 in 1722 your 5216 hearts 2588:

1:20 Knowing 1097 5723 this 5124 first 4412, that 3754 no 3756 3956 prophecy 4394 of the scripture 1124 is 1096 5736 of any private 2398 interpretation 1955.

1:21 For 1063 the prophecy 4394 came 5342 5681 not 3756 in old time 4218 by the will 2307 of man 444: but 235 holy 40 men 444 of God 2316 spake 2980 5656 [as they were] moved 5342 5746 by 5259 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151.(in old time: or, at any time)
