2 Peter 1:12-21

Darby Translation

¹² Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing [them] and established in the present truth.

¹³ But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance,

¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is speedily [to take place], as also our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested to me;

¹⁵ but I will use diligence, that after my departure ye should have also, at any time, [in your power] to call to mind these things.

¹⁶ For we have not made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly imagined fables, but having been eyewitnesses of *his* majesty.

¹⁷ For he received from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom *I* have found my delight;

¹⁸ and this voice *we* heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.

¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word [made] surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until [the] day dawn and [the] morning star arise in your hearts;

²⁰ knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,

²¹ for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [the] Holy Spirit.
