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)

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.

Ang Biblia (1978)
1 Si Simon Pedro, na (A)alipin at apostol ni Jesucristo, sa nagsipagkamit na kasama namin ng mahalagang pananampalataya (B)sa katuwiran (C)ng ating Dios at Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo:
2 Biyaya at kapayapaan ang (D)sa inyo'y dumami (E)sa pagkakilala sa Dios at kay Jesus na Panginoon natin;
3 Yamang ipinagkaloob sa atin ng kaniyang banal na kapangyarihan ang lahat ng mga bagay na nauukol sa kabuhayan at sa (F)kabanalan, sa pamamagitan ng pagkakilala sa kaniya na (G)tumawag sa atin sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang sariling kaluwalhatian at kagalingan;
4 Na dahil dito ay ipinagkaloob niya sa atin ang kaniyang mahahalaga at napakadakilang pangako; upang sa pamamagitan ng mga ito ay (H)makabahagi kayo sa kabanalang mula sa Dios, yamang nakatanan sa kabulukang nasa sanglibutan dahil sa masamang pita.
5 Oo, at dahil din dito, sa pagkaragdag sa ganang inyo ng buong sikap, ay ipamahagi ninyo sa inyong pananampalataya ang kagalingan; at sa kagalingan ay ang (I)kaalaman;
6 At sa kaalaman ay ang (J)pagpipigil; at sa pagpipigil ay ang (K)pagtitiis; at sa pagtitiis ay ang (L)kabanalan;
7 At sa kabanalan ay ang (M)mabuting kalooban sa kapatid; at sa mabuting kalooban sa kapatid ay ang (N)pagibig.
8 Sapagka't kung nasa inyo ang mga bagay na ito at sumasagana, ay hindi kayo pababayaang maging mga tamad o mga walang bunga sa pagkakilala sa ating Panginoong Jesucristo.
9 Sapagka't yaong wala ng mga bagay na ito (O)ay bulag, na ang nakikita lamang ay ang nasa malapit, sa pagkalimot ng (P)paglilinis ng kaniyang dating mga kasalanan.
10 Kaya, mga kapatid, lalong pagsikapan ninyo na mangapanatag kayo sa (Q)pagkatawag at pagkahirang sa inyo: sapagka't kung gawin ninyo ang mga bagay na ito ay (R)hindi kayo mangatitisod kailan man:
11 Sapagka't sa gayon ay ipinamamahaging sagana sa inyo ang pagpasok (S)sa kahariang walang hanggan ng Panginoon natin at Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo.
12 Kaya't magiging handa akong lagi na ipaalaala ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na ito, (T)bagama't inyong nalalaman, at kayo'y (U)pinatitibay sa katotohanang nasa inyo.
13 At inaakala kong matuwid, na samantalang ako'y nasa tabernakulong (V)ito, ay kilusin ko kayo na ipaalaala ko sa inyo;
14 Yamang aking nalalaman na dumarating na madali ang paghiwalay ko sa aking tabernakulo, na (W)gaya ng ipinahiwatig sa akin ng Panginoon nating Jesucristo.
15 Oo, pagsisikapan ko na sa tuwituwi na, pagkamatay ko'y inyong maalaala ang mga bagay na ito.
16 Sapagka't kami ay hindi nagsisunod sa (X)mga kathang ginawang mainam, noong aming ipinakilala sa inyo ang kapangyarihan at (Y)pagparito ng ating Panginoong Jesucristo, (Z)kundi kami ay naging mga saksing nakakita ng kaniyang karangalan.
17 Sapagka't siya'y tumanggap sa Dios Ama ng (AA)karangalan at kaluwalhatian, nang dumating sa kaniya ang isang tinig mula sa Marangal na Kaluwalhatian, (AB)Ito ang sinisinta kong Anak, na siya kong kinalulugdan:
18 At ang tinig na ito ay aming narinig na nanggaling sa langit, nang kami ay kasama niya sa banal na bundok.
19 At kami ay mayroong lalong panatag na salita ng hula; na mabuti ang inyong ginagawa kung ito'y inyong sinusundan, na gaya ng sa isang (AC)ilawang lumiliwanag sa isang dakong madilim, hanggang sa pagbubukang liwayway, at (AD)ang tala sa umaga ay sumilang sa inyong mga puso:
20 Na maalaman muna ito, na (AE)alin mang hula ng kasulatan ay hindi nagbuhat sa sariling pagpapaliwanag.
21 Sapagka't hindi sa kalooban ng tao dumating (AF)ang hula kailanman: (AG)kundi ang mga tao ay nagsalita buhat sa Dios, na nangaudyokan ng Espiritu Santo.
