2 Peter 1:12-21

12 Therefore I intend ^aalways to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in ^bthe truth that you have. 13 I think it right, as long as I am in this ^cbody, ^{▼▼Greek tent; also verse 14} ^eto stir you up by way of reminder, 14 ^fsince I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, ^gas our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

Christ’s Glory and the Prophetic Word

16 For we did not follow ^hcleverly devised ⁱmyths when we made known to you ^jthe power and ^kcoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but ^lwe were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, ^m“This is my beloved Son, ^{▼▼Or my Son, my (or the) Beloved} with whom I am well pleased,” 18 we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on ^othe holy mountain. 19 And ^pwe have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^qas to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^rthe day ^sdawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. 21 For ^tno prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^uas they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
