2 Peter 1

1Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Yahusha Messiah, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of Elohim and our Saviour Yahusha Messiah: 2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of Elohim, and of Yahusha our Lord, 3According as his divine power has given unto us all things that unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto 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. 5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yahusha Messiah. 9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10therefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Yahusha Messiah. 12therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know , and be established in the present truth. 13yes, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting in remembrance; 14Knowing that shortly I must put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Yahusha Messiah has shewed me. 15Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Yahusha Messiah, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received from Elohim 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. 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of Elohim spake moved by the Set-Apart Spirit.
