2 Peter 1:12-18

English Standard Version

¹² Therefore I intend ^(A)always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in ^(B)the truth that you have. ¹³ I think it right, as long as I am in this ^(C)body,^{[a] (D)}to stir you up by way of reminder, ^14 (E)since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, ^(F)as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

Christ's Glory and the Prophetic Word

¹⁶ For we did not follow ^(G)cleverly devised ^(H)myths when we made known to you ^(I)the power and ^(J)coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but ^(K)we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, ^(L)“This is my beloved Son,^[b] with whom I am well pleased,” ¹⁸ we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on ^(M)the holy mountain.
