The Trustworthy Prophetic Word(A)
16 For we did not follow (B)cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the (C)power and (D)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were (E)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: (F)“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 (G)the holy mountain.
19 [a]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a (H)light that shines in a dark place, (I)until (J)the day dawns and the morning star rises in your (K)hearts; 20 knowing this first, that (L)no prophecy of Scripture is of any private [b]interpretation, 21 for (M)prophecy never came by the will of man, (N)but [c]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

6 And (D)you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, (E)with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. 8 For from you the word of the Lord (F)has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also (G)in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare concerning us (H)what manner of entry we had to you, (I)and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and (J)to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us (K)from the wrath to come.
