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.

Svenska Folkbibeln

Hälsning

1 Från Simeon Petrus, Jesu Kristi tjänare och apostel, till dem som genom rättfärdigheten från vår Gud och Frälsare Jesus Kristus har fått på sin lott samma dyrbara tro som vi. 2 Må nåd och frid i ännu rikare mått komma er till del genom kunskapen om Gud och vår Herre Jesus.

Trons bevisning i livet

3 Ty allt som hör till liv och gudsfruktan har hans gudomliga makt skänkt oss genom kunskapen om honom, som har kallat oss genom sin härlighet och ära. 4 Genom dem har han gett oss sina dyrbara och mycket stora löften, för att ni i kraft av dem skall få del av gudomlig natur, sedan ni kommit undan det fördärv som på grund av begäret finns i världen. 5 Gör därför allt ni kan för att i er tro visa dygd, i dygden insikt, 6 i insikten självbehärskning, i självbehärskningen uthållighet, i uthålligheten gudsfruktan, 7 i gudsfruktan broderlig kärlek och i kärleken till bröderna kärlek till alla människor. 8 Ty om allt detta finns hos er och växer till, blir ni inte overksamma eller utan frukt när det gäller kunskapen om vår Herre Jesus Kristus. 9 Men den som saknar detta är närsynt, ja, blind, eftersom han har glömt att han blev renad från sina tidigare synder. 10 Var desto ivrigare, mina bröder, att göra er kallelse och utkorelse fast. Gör ni det, skall ni aldrig någonsin snubbla och falla. 11 Då skall ni få en fri och öppen ingång till vår Herre och Frälsare Jesu Kristi eviga rike.

12 Därför tänker jag alltid påminna er om detta, trots att ni redan känner till det och är befästa i den sanning som ni äger. 13 Jag ser det som min plikt att väcka er genom mina påminnelser, så länge jag bor i detta tält. 14 Jag vet att jag plötsligt skall lägga av mitt tält. Det har vår Herre Jesus Kristus visat mig. 15 Men jag vill göra det jag kan för att ni också efter min bortgång alltid skall kunna minnas detta.

Inte myter utan gudomlig uppenbarelse

16 Det var inte några utstuderade myter[a] vi följde, när vi förkunnade för er vår Herre Jesu Kristi makt och hans ankomst, utan vi var ögonvittnen till Jesu majestät. 17 Ty han blev av Gud, Fadern, ärad och förhärligad, när en röst kom till honom från den upphöjda Härligheten:[b] "Denne är min Son, den Älskade. I honom har jag min glädje." 18 Den rösten hörde vi själva från himlen, när vi var med honom på det heliga berget. 19 Så mycket fastare står nu det profetiska ordet för oss, och ni gör rätt i att hålla er till det som till ett ljus som lyser på en mörk plats, tills dagen gryr och morgonstjärnan[c] går upp i era hjärtan. 20 Framför allt skall ni veta att ingen profetia i Skriften har kommit till genom egen utläggning. 21 Ty ingen profetia har burits fram genom någon människas vilja, utan ledda av den helige Ande har människor talat vad de fått från Gud.

2 Peter 1
New International Version

1 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:

2 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

3 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. 4 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)

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;(M) 6 and to knowledge, self-control;(N) and to self-control, perseverance;(O) and to perseverance, godliness;(P) 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.(Q) 8 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) 9 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)
