II Peter . 01 02 03 ..... growth in Christian virtue
01:01 .. Simon Peter .. a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ .. to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours ..
.......... by the righteousness of our God and Savior .. Jesus Christ
01:02 .. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord
01:03 .. seeing that his divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness ..
.......... through the true knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence
01:04 .. for by these he has granted to us his precious and magnificent promises .. so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature ..
.......... having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust
01:05 .. now for this very reason also .. applying all diligence .. in your faith supply moral excellence .. and in your moral excellence .. knowledge
01:06 .. and in your knowledge .. self-control .. and in your self-control .. perseverance .. and in your perseverance .. godliness
01:07 .. and in your godliness .. brotherly kindness .. and in your brotherly kindness .. love
01:08 .. for if these qualities are yours and are increasing .. they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ
01:09 .. for he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted .. having forgotten his purification from his former sins
01:10 .. therefore .. brethren .. be all the more diligent to make certain about his calling and choosing you .. for as long as you practice these things ..
.......... you will never stumble
01:11 .. for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you
01:12 .. therefore .. I will always be ready to remind you of these things .. even though you already know them ..
.......... and have been established in the truth which is present with you
01:13 .. I consider it right .. as long as I am in this earthly dwelling .. to stir you up by way of reminder
01:14 .. knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent .. as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me
01:15 .. and I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind
.................. eyewitnesses
01:16 .. for we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ..
.......... but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty
01:17 .. for when he received honor and glory from God the Father .. such an utterance as this was made to him by the majestic glory . . . .
.......... this is my beloved son with whom I am well-pleased
01:18 .. and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain
01:19 .. so we have the prophetic word made more sure .. to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place ..
.......... until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts
01:20 .. but know this first of all .. that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation
01:21 .. for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will .. but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God
The Christian should be diligent to add one Christian grace to another that he may bring glory to God by abounding in much fruit among men and that his own calling and election may be thereby thoroughly tested out .. he should the more seek to obey God’s Word because it is God-inspired .. of undoubted truth .. and therefore of vast concern . . . . v 16 the plan of salvation by Jesus Christ is eminently the council of the infinitely wise Jehovah .. for certainly man could not have invented it .. he is the Messiah promised by the prophecies and publicly owned by the Father from the opened heavens
