예수 그리스도의 종이며 사도인 나 시몬 베드로가 여러분에게 이 편지를 씁니다. 여러분은 우리의 믿음과 같은 귀한 믿음을 받아 간직하고 있습니다. 여러분이 그 믿음을 받은 것은, 우리의 하나님이시며 구세주이신 예수 그리스도께서 의로운 분이시기 때문입니다.

여러분이 하나님과 우리 주 예수를 앎으로써, 은혜와 평화가 여러분에게 더욱 풍성해지기를 빕니다.

그리스도께서 필요한 것을 모두 주셨다

그리스도께서는 하나님의 능력을 가지고 계십니다. 그분은 그 능력으로 우리가 살아가는 데, 또 하나님을 섬기는 데 꼭 있어야 할 것들을 모두 주셨습니다. 그분께서는 당신의 영광과 선하심으로 우리를 불러 당신을 알게 하셨고, 우리는 그분을 알기 때문에 이런 것들을 받을 수 있습니다. 예수께서는 자신의 영광과 선하심을 통하여 우리에게 약속하셨던 크고 귀한 선물들을 주셨습니다. 그것은 여러분이 그 선물들에 힘입어 사람을 멸망시키는 세상의 정욕에서 벗어나, 하나님의 성품을 나누어 받게 하시려는 것이었습니다.

여러분은 이렇게 약속하셨던 복을 받았으니, 믿음에 선함을 더하고, 선함에 지식을 더하고, 지식에 자기 절제를 더하고, 자기 절제에 참을성을 더하고, 참을성에 경건을 더하고, 경건에 믿는 형제자매에 대한 사랑을 더하고, 믿는 형제자매에 대한 사랑에 모든 사람에 대한 사랑을 더하기 위해 애쓰십시오. 여러분이 이 모든 것을 갖출 뿐만 아니라, 그것들이 여러분 가운데서 더욱 자라게 되면, 우리 주 예수 그리스도를 아는 여러분의 지식이 여러분의 삶을 다스리게 될 것입니다. 그리하여 여러분은 주님의 일에 열심을 내고 열매를 맺을 것입니다. 그러나 이런 것들을 갖추지 못한 사람은 앞을 전혀 보지 못하거나, 적어도 그 눈이 근시인 사람입니다. 또한 자기가 과거에 지은 죄로부터 깨끗이 씻김을 받았다는 것을 이미 잊어버린 사람입니다.

10 형제자매 여러분, 여러분이 정말로 하나님께서 불러 택하신 사람들이라는 사실을 증명하기 위해서 열심을 내어 일하십시오. 여러분이 이 모든 것을 실천하면 여러분은 결코 넘어지지 않을 것입니다. 11 그리고 우리 주님이시고 구세주이신 예수 그리스도의 영원한 나라에 큰 환영을 받으며 들어갈 것입니다.

12 여러분은 이미 이런 것들을 알고 있고, 또 지금 간직하고 있는 진리 안에 굳게 서 있습니다. 그래도 나는 여러분이 그것들을 잊지 않게 늘 일깨워 주겠습니다. 13 내가 이 몸을 가지고 살아가는 동안, 쉬지 않고 여러분의 기억을 일깨워 새롭게 하는 것이 옳은 일이라고 생각합니다. 14 우리 주 예수 그리스도께서 나에게 밝히 알려 주신 대로, 내가 이 몸을 벗어 버려야 할 때가 멀지 않았다는 것을 알기 때문입니다.[a] 15 그래서 내가 이 세상을 떠난 뒤에도 여러분이 언제나 이러한 일들을 기억할 수 있도록 있는 힘을 다할 생각입니다.

우리는 그리스도의 영광을 보았다

16 우리는 여러분에게 우리 주 예수 그리스도의 권능과 다시 오실 것에 관한 이야기를 들려주었습니다. 그것은 사람들이 그럴듯하게 꾸며 낸 이야기에서 나온 것이 아닙니다. 우리는 그분의 위대하심을 우리 눈으로 직접 본 증인들입니다. 17 지극히 영광스러우신 분께서 그분에게 “이는 내 사랑하는 아들, 나를 기쁘게 하는 아들이다.” 라고 말씀하시는 음성이 들려왔을 때, 그분은 하나님 아버지에게서 영예와 영광을 받으셨습니다. 18 우리 자신이 하늘에서 들려오는 이 음성을 들었습니다. 그때에 우리는 거룩한 산 위에 그분과 함께 있었습니다.[b]

19 그리하여 예언자들이 전한 말씀들이 참으로 믿을 수 있는 말씀이라는 것이 더욱 분명해졌습니다. 그러므로 여러분의 마음속에서 동이 트고 샛별이 떠오를 때까지 어두운 곳을 비추는 등불 같은 그 말씀에 주의를 기울이는 것이 좋습니다. 20 여러분은 무엇보다 이것을 알아야 합니다. 곧 성경[c]에 있는 어떤 예언도 예언자가 마음대로 해석해서 생긴 것이 아니라는 것입니다. 21 예언이란 사람의 뜻에서 나온 것이 아니라, 성령의 이끌림을 받은 사람들이 하나님의 말씀을 받아서 전한 것입니다.

Simon Peter, a servant(A) and apostle of Jesus Christ,(B)

To those who through the righteousness(C) of our God and Savior Jesus Christ(D) have received a faith as precious as ours:

Grace and peace be yours in abundance(E) through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.(F)

Confirming One’s Calling and Election

His divine power(G) has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him(H) who called us(I) by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises,(J) so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,(K) having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.(L)

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;(M) and to knowledge, self-control;(N) and to self-control, perseverance;(O) and to perseverance, godliness;(P) and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.(Q) For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive(R) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.(S) But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,(T) forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.(U)

10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling(V) and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,(W) 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom(X) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(Y)

Prophecy of Scripture

12 So I will always remind you of these things,(Z) even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth(AA) you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory(AB) as long as I live in the tent of this body,(AC) 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside,(AD) as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.(AE) 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure(AF) you will always be able to remember these things.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power,(AG) but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.(AH) 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”[b](AI) 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.(AJ)

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable,(AK) and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light(AL) shining in a dark place, until the day dawns(AM) and the morning star(AN) rises in your hearts.(AO) 20 Above all, you must understand(AP) that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God(AQ) as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.(AR)

Greeting the Faithful

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:

(C)Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 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, (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

But also for this very reason, (H)giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue (I)knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control [d]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and (J)to brotherly kindness love. 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. 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.

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:

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

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:

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.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

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.

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.
