2 Peter 1:12–21

¹²Therefore, ^aI will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in ^bthe truth which is present with you.

¹³I consider it ^aright, as long as I am in ^bthis earthly dwelling, to ^cstir you up by way of reminder,

¹⁴knowing that ^athe laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, ^bas also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

¹⁵And I will also be diligent that at any time after my ^adeparture you will be able to call these things to mind.

Eyewitnesses

¹⁶For we did not follow cleverly devised ^atales when we made known to you the ^bpower and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were ^ceyewitnesses of His majesty.

¹⁷For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an ^1autterance as this was ²made to Him by the ^bMajestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”—

¹⁸and we ourselves heard this ¹utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the ^aholy mountain.

¹⁹¹So we have ^athe prophetic word made more ^bsure, to which you do well to pay attention as to ^ca lamp shining in a dark place, until the ^dday dawns and the ^emorning star arises ^fin your hearts.

²⁰But ^aknow this first of all, that ^bno prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation,

²¹for ^ano prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men ^bmoved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
