2 Peter 1:12-21

21st Century King James Version

¹² Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them and are strengthened in the present truth.

¹³ Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance,

¹⁴ knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.

¹⁵ Moreover I will endeavor that you may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

¹⁷ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when there came such a voice to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

¹⁸ And this voice, which came from Heaven, we heard when we were with Him on the holy mount.

¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy, unto which ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts,

²⁰ knowing this first: that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.

²¹ For the prophecy came not in olden times by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
