2Pet 1:1	Simeon ^{▼▼Some manuscripts Simon} Peter, a servant ^{▼▼Or slave (for the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface)} and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained ^ca faith of equal standing with ours ^dby the righteousness of our ^eGod and Savior Jesus Christ:	^{▼▼ Συμεὼν = Treg NA/NIV RP: \|\| Σιμων = WH} Συμεὼν Πέτρος δοῦλος καὶ ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῖς ἰσότιμον ἡμῖν λαχοῦσιν πίστιν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·
2Pet 1:2	^gMay grace and peace be multiplied to you ^hin the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.	χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη πληθυνθείη ἐν ἐπιγνώσει τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν.
2Pet 1:3	His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him ⁱwho called us to ^{▼▼Or by} his own glory and excellence, ^{▼▼Or virtue}	Ὡς πάντα ἡμῖν τῆς θείας δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ τὰ πρὸς ζωὴν καὶ εὐσέβειαν δεδωρημένης διὰ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ καλέσαντος ἡμᾶς ^{▼▼ ἰδίᾳ δόξῃ καὶ ἀρετῇ = Treg NA/NIV: \|\| διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀρετῆς = WH RP} ἰδίᾳ δόξῃ καὶ ἀρετῇ ⸃,
2Pet 1:4	by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become ^mpartakers of the divine nature, ⁿhaving escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.	δι᾽ ὧν τὰ ^{▼▼ τίμια καὶ μέγιστα ἡμῖν = WH NA/NIV: \|\| μέγιστα καὶ τίμια ἡμῖν = Treg; \|\| τίμια ἡμῖν καὶ μέγιστα = RP} τίμια καὶ μέγιστα ἡμῖν ⸃ ἐπαγγέλματα δεδώρηται, ἵνα διὰ τούτων γένησθε θείας κοινωνοὶ φύσεως, ἀποφυγόντες τῆς ἐν ^{▼▼ τῷ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| [omit] = RP} τῷ κόσμῳ ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ φθορᾶς.
2Pet 1:5	For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith ^qwith virtue, ^{▼▼Or excellence; twice in this verse} and virtue ^swith knowledge,	καὶ αὐτὸ τοῦτο δὲ σπουδὴν πᾶσαν παρεισενέγκαντες ἐπιχορηγήσατε ἐν τῇ πίστει ὑμῶν τὴν ἀρετήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν,
2Pet 1:6	and knowledge with self-control, and self-control ^twith steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,	ἐν δὲ τῇ γνώσει τὴν ἐγκράτειαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐγκρατείᾳ τὴν ὑπομονήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ὑπομονῇ τὴν εὐσέβειαν,
2Pet 1:7	and godliness ^uwith brotherly affection, and brotherly affection ^vwith love.	ἐν δὲ τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ τὴν φιλαδελφίαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ τὴν ἀγάπην·
2Pet 1:8	For if these qualities ^{▼▼Greek these things; also verses 9, 10, 12} are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or ^xunfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.	ταῦτα γὰρ ὑμῖν ὑπάρχοντα καὶ πλεονάζοντα οὐκ ἀργοὺς οὐδὲ ἀκάρπους καθίστησιν εἰς τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐπίγνωσιν·
2Pet 1:9	For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he ^yis blind, having forgotten that he was ^zcleansed from his former sins.	ᾧ γὰρ μὴ πάρεστιν ταῦτα, τυφλός ἐστιν μυωπάζων, λήθην λαβὼν τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ τῶν πάλαι αὐτοῦ ^{▼▼ ἁμαρτημάτων = Treg: \|\| ἁμαρτιῶν = WH NA/NIV RP} ἁμαρτημάτων.
2Pet 1:10	Therefore, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church} be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and ^acelection, for if you practice these qualities ^adyou will never fall.	διὸ μᾶλλον, ἀδελφοί, σπουδάσατε βεβαίαν ὑμῶν τὴν κλῆσιν καὶ ἐκλογὴν ποιεῖσθαι· ταῦτα γὰρ ποιοῦντες οὐ μὴ πταίσητέ ποτε·
2Pet 1:11	For in this way there will be richly provided for you ^aean entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.	οὕτως γὰρ πλουσίως ἐπιχορηγηθήσεται ὑμῖν ἡ εἴσοδος εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον βασιλείαν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
2Pet 1:12	Therefore I intend ^afalways to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in ^agthe truth that you have.	Διὸ ^{▼▼ μελλήσω = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| οὐκ ἀμελήσω = RP} μελλήσω ἀεὶ ὑμᾶς ὑπομιμνῄσκειν περὶ τούτων, καίπερ εἰδότας καὶ ἐστηριγμένους ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ἀληθείᾳ.
2Pet 1:13	I think it right, as long as I am in this ^aibody, ^{▼▼Greek tent; also verse 14} ^akto stir you up by way of reminder,	δίκαιον δὲ ἡγοῦμαι, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον εἰμὶ ἐν τούτῳ τῷ σκηνώματι, διεγείρειν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὑπομνήσει,
2Pet 1:14	^alsince I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, ^amas our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.	εἰδὼς ὅτι ταχινή ἐστιν ἡ ἀπόθεσις τοῦ σκηνώματός μου, καθὼς καὶ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς ἐδήλωσέν μοι·
2Pet 1:15	And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.	σπουδάσω δὲ καὶ ἑκάστοτε ἔχειν ὑμᾶς μετὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἔξοδον τὴν τούτων μνήμην ποιεῖσθαι.
2Pet 1:16	For we did not follow ^ancleverly devised ^aomyths when we made known to you ^apthe power and ^aqcoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but ^arwe were eyewitnesses of his majesty.	Οὐ γὰρ σεσοφισμένοις μύθοις ἐξακολουθήσαντες ἐγνωρίσαμεν ὑμῖν τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δύναμιν καὶ παρουσίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπόπται γενηθέντες τῆς ἐκείνου μεγαλειότητος.
2Pet 1:17	For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, ^as“This is my beloved Son, ^{▼▼Or my Son, my (or the) Beloved} with whom I am well pleased,”	λαβὼν γὰρ παρὰ θεοῦ πατρὸς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν φωνῆς ἐνεχθείσης αὐτῷ τοιᾶσδε ὑπὸ τῆς μεγαλοπρεποῦς δόξης· ^{▼▼ Ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός μου οὗτός ἐστιν = WH NA/NIV: \|\| οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός = Treg RP} Ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός μου οὗτός ἐστιν ⸃, εἰς ὃν ἐγὼ εὐδόκησα—
2Pet 1:18	we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on ^avthe holy mountain.	καὶ ταύτην τὴν φωνὴν ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐνεχθεῖσαν σὺν αὐτῷ ὄντες ἐν τῷ ^{▼▼ ἁγίῳ ὄρει = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| ὄρει τῷ ἁγίῳ = RP} ἁγίῳ ὄρει ⸃.
2Pet 1:19	And ^axwe have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^ayas to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^azthe day ^badawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,	καὶ ἔχομεν βεβαιότερον τὸν προφητικὸν λόγον, ᾧ καλῶς ποιεῖτε προσέχοντες ὡς λύχνῳ φαίνοντι ἐν αὐχμηρῷ τόπῳ, ἕως οὗ ἡμέρα διαυγάσῃ καὶ φωσφόρος ἀνατείλῃ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν·
2Pet 1:20	knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.	τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες ὅτι πᾶσα προφητεία γραφῆς ἰδίας ἐπιλύσεως οὐ γίνεται,
2Pet 1:21	For ^bbno prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^bcas they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.	οὐ γὰρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη ^{▼▼ προφητεία ποτέ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| ποτὲ προφητεία = RP} προφητεία ποτέ ⸃, ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ^{▼▼ ἀπὸ = WH NA/NIV: \|\| ἅγιοι = Treg RP} ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἄνθρωποι.
