彼得後書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 我是耶穌基督的奴僕和使徒西門·彼得，寫信給藉著我們的上帝和救主耶穌基督的義，與我們得到同樣寶貴信心的人。
2 願你們因認識上帝和我們主耶穌而得到豐富的恩典和平安！
追求長進
3 因為我們認識了用自己的榮耀和美德呼召我們的上帝，上帝以祂神聖的能力將生命與敬虔所需要的一切賜給了我們。 4 藉此，祂已將既寶貴又偉大的應許賞給了我們，使我們脫離世上私慾帶來的敗壞，能夠有份於上帝的性情。
5 正因如此，你們要加倍努力，不僅要有信心，還要有好的德行；不僅要有好的德行，還要有知識； 6 不僅要有知識，還要有節制；不僅要有節制，還要有忍耐；不僅要有忍耐，還要有敬虔； 7 不僅要有敬虔，還要有愛弟兄姊妹的心；不僅要有愛弟兄姊妹的心，還要有愛眾人的心。 8 如果充分具備了這些品德，你們對我們主耶穌基督的認識就不會停滯不前，毫無收穫。 9 缺乏上述品德的人不是瞎眼就是目光短淺，忘記他從前的罪已經得到潔淨。
10 所以，弟兄姊妹，你們要更加努力，以確定自己蒙了呼召和揀選。這樣，你們就絕不會失足犯罪， 11 進入我們的主和救主耶穌基督永恆國度的大門必為你們敞開。
12 雖然你們已經知道這些事，並且在所領受的真道上也很堅固，但我還是要常常提醒你們。 13 我覺得應當趁著我還在世的時候[a]提醒你們，激勵你們， 14 因我知道自己離世的日子已經不遠了，正如我們的主耶穌基督指示我的。 15 我要盡力使你們在我離世以後仍然常常記得這些事。
見證基督的榮耀
16 我們從前告訴你們有關主耶穌基督的大能和祂降臨的事，並非根據巧妙虛構的神話，而是我們親眼見過祂的威榮。 17 祂從父上帝那裡得到了尊貴和榮耀，那時從極大的榮光中有聲音對祂說：「這是我的愛子，我甚喜悅祂。」 18 當時我們和祂一同在聖山上，親耳聽見了這來自天上的聲音。
19 這使我們更加確信先知的預言。你們要留意這些預言，把這些預言看作照耀在黑暗中的明燈，一直到天破曉、晨星在你們心中升起。 20 你們首先該知道：聖經上的一切預言都不可隨人的私意解釋， 21 因為預言絕非出於人的意思，都是人受了聖靈的感動，講出上帝的信息。

彼得后书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
問安
1 耶穌基督的僕人和使徒西門．彼得，寫信給那靠著我們的 神和救主耶穌基督的義，得著和我們同樣寶貴信心的人。 2 願恩惠平安，因你們確實認識 神和我們的主耶穌，多多加給你們。
信徒應當追求長進
3 神以他神聖的能力，因著我們確實認識那位用自己的榮耀和美善呼召我們的，把一切有關生命和敬虔的事，都賜給了我們。 4 藉著這些，他把又寶貴又極大的應許賜給了我們，好叫你們既然逃脫世上因私慾而來的敗壞，就可以分享 神的本性。 5 正因這緣故，你們要多多努力：有了信心，又要增添美德；有了美德，又要增添知識； 6 有了知識，又要增添節制；有了節制，又要增添忍耐；有了忍耐，又要增添敬虔； 7 有了敬虔，又要增添弟兄的愛；有了弟兄的愛，還要增添神聖的愛。 8 因為你們有了這幾樣，並且繼續增長，就必叫你們在確實認識我們的主耶穌基督上，不至於閒懶不結果子。 9 人若沒有這幾樣，就是近視，簡直是瞎眼的，忘記他過去的罪已經得了潔淨。 10 所以弟兄們，要更加努力，使你們所蒙的呼召和揀選堅定不移；你們若實行這幾樣，就決不會跌倒。 11 這樣，你們就得著充分的裝備，可以進入我們的主和救主耶穌基督永遠的國。
12 因此，你們雖然已經知道這些事，又在你們已有的真道上得到堅固，我還要時常提醒你們。 13 趁著我還在世上（“在世上”原文作“在這帳棚”）的時候，我認為應當提醒你們，使你們常常警醒， 14 因為我知道我離世（“離世”原文作“離開這帳棚”）的時候快到了，正如我們的主耶穌基督清楚指示我的。 15 我也要努力，使你們在我去世以後，還時常追念這些事。
信徒和先知都為基督作見證
16 我們從前把我們主耶穌基督的大能和降臨的事告訴你們，並不是隨從巧妙捏造傳奇的故事，我們卻是親眼看見過他威榮的人。 17 因為他從父 神得著尊貴榮耀的時候，在極顯赫的榮光中，有這樣的聲音對他說：“這是我的愛子，我所喜悅的。” 18 這從天上發出來的聲音，是我們和他同在聖山上的時候，親自聽見過的。 19 我們還有先知的話，是更確實的。你們要特別注意它，好像注意照在暗處的明燈，直到天將破曉，晨星在你們心裡出現的時候。 20 最要緊的，你們應當知道：聖經所有的預言，都不是先知自己的見解， 21 因為預言不是出於人意的，而是人受聖靈的感動，說出從 神而來的話。
2 Peter 1
King James Version
1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established 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 shewed me.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye 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 honour 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 in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto 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 old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Peter 1
New King James Version
Greeting the Faithful
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and (A)apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have [a]obtained (B)like[b] precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 (C)Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His (D)divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him (E)who called us by glory and virtue, 4 (F)by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be (G)partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.
Fruitful Growth in the Faith
5 But also for this very reason, (H)giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue (I)knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control [d]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and (J)to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [e]barren (K)nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is (L)shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent (M)to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Peter’s Approaching Death
12 For this reason (N)I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, (O)though you know and are established in the present truth. 13 Yes, I think it is right, (P)as long as I am in this [f]tent, (Q)to stir you up by reminding you, 14 (R)knowing that shortly I must [g]put off my tent, just as (S)our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my [h]decease.
The Trustworthy Prophetic Word(T)
16 For we did not follow (U)cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the (V)power and (W)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were (X)eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: (Y)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on (Z)the holy mountain.
19 [i]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a (AA)light that shines in a dark place, (AB)until (AC)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your (AD)hearts; 20 knowing this first, that (AE)no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [j]interpretation, 21 for (AF)prophecy never came by the will of man, (AG)but [k]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
