2 Peter 1
Lexham English Bible

Greeting

1 Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith equal in value to ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 because his divine power has bestowed on us all things that are necessary for life and godliness, through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence of character, 4 through which things he has bestowed on us his precious and very great promises, so that through these you may become sharers of the divine nature after[a] escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire, 5 and for this same reason, and by[b] applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge, 6 and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness, 7 and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.

Make Your Calling and Election Secure

8 For if[c] these things are yours and are increasing, this does not make you useless or unproductive in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For the one for whom these things are not present is blind, being nearsighted, having forgotten the cleansing[d] of his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers, be zealous even more to make your calling and election secure, because if you[e] do these things, you will never ever stumble. 11 For in this way entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied for you.

12 Therefore I intend to remind you continually concerning these things, although you know them and are established in the truth that you have. 13 But I consider it right, for as long as I am in this habitation, to stir you up by a reminder, 14 because I[f] know that the removal of my habitation is imminent, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will also make every effort that you are able at any time, after my departure, to recall these things to mind[g].

The Reliable Prophetic Word of Testimony

16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by[h] following ingeniously concocted myths, but by[i] being eyewitnesses of that one’s majesty. 17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when[j] a voice such as this was brought to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we ourselves heard this voice brought from heaven when we[k] were with him on the holy mountain, 19 and we possess as more reliable the prophetic word, to which you do well if you[l] pay attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, 20 recognizing this above all, that every prophecy of scripture does not come about from one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)

问安

1 耶稣基督的奴仆和使徒西门彼得，

致那些藉着我们的神、救主耶稣基督的义，与我们领受同样宝贵信仰的人：

2 愿恩典与平安，藉着你们真正认识神，我们的主耶稣，多多地加给你们！

在信心里成长

3 主耶稣[a]神性的大能，因我们真正认识以自己的荣耀和美德召唤我们的那一位，就把一切有关生命和敬神的事都赐给了我们。 4 藉着这荣耀和美德[b]，他把那些又宝贵又极大的应许赐给了我们，好使你们能藉着这些应许，逃脱世上因欲望而来的衰朽[c]，成为在神的本性上有份的人。 5 是的，也正是为此，你们应当尽量地殷勤，在信仰上加美德；在美德上加知识； 6 在知识上加自制；在自制上加忍耐；在忍耐上加敬神； 7 在敬神上加弟兄之情；在弟兄之情上加爱； 8 因为你们如果有了这些，并且不断增多这些，它们就会使你们在真正认识我们主耶稣基督的事上，不会成为懒惰的[d]或不结果子的人； 9 就是说，没有具备这些的就是瞎眼的，他只看得见眼前的，忘记自己过去的罪孽已经得了洁净。 10 所以弟兄们，你们当更加努力地确定你们所蒙的召唤和拣选。要知道，如果你们如此行，就绝不会跌倒； 11 而这样，你们就丰丰富富地得到供应，进入我们的主、救主耶稣基督永恒的国度。

12 所以，虽然你们已经知道这些事，又在你们已有的真理上得了坚固，我还是要[e]不断地提醒你们。 13 我认为，只要我还在这帐篷里，就理当用提醒的话来激发你们， 14 因为我知道我脱离这帐篷的时候快到了，就像我们的主耶稣基督也曾向我指明的。 15 我也要努力，使你们在我离世以后，时常想起这些事。

可信的预言

16 要知道，我们从前让你们明白我们主耶稣基督的大能和他来临的事，并不是随从巧言编造的故事，相反，我们是亲眼见过他威荣的人。 17 他从父神领受尊贵和荣耀的时候，从那威严的荣耀中，有这样的声音向他传来，说：

“这是我的爱子，
我所喜悦的。”[f]

18 这从天上传来的声音，是我们与他一起在圣山上的时候听见的， 19 并且我们有先知更确切的话语。你们如果留心这些话语，把它当做照耀在暗处的灯，一直到天光破晓、晨星在你们心中升起，你们就做得很好了。 20 你们首先要知道这一点：经上的一切预言都不是出于人自己的解释[g]； 21 因为预言从来不是藉着人的意思传来的，而是人受圣灵的感动[h]说出从神而来的话[i]。
