International Standard Version

1Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:

1From: Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus, the Messiah. To: Those who have received faith that is as valuable as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

2Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

2May grace and peace be yours in abundance through full knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!

3His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

4Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

4Through these he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, seeing that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world caused by evil desires.

5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

5For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,

6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

6your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,

7and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

7your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love.

8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

9But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

9For the person who lacks these qualities is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing that he has received from his past sins.

10Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

10So then, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election certain, for if you keep on doing this you will never fail.

11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

11For in this way you will be generously granted entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Messiah.

12So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.

12Therefore, I intend to keep on reminding you about these things, even though you already know them and are firmly established in the truth that you now have.

13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,

13Yet I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I am living in this bodily tent,

14because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

14because I know that the removal of my bodily tent will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, has shown me.

15And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.

15And I will make every effort to see that you will always remember these things after I am gone.

16For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

16When we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, we did not follow any clever myths. Rather, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17He 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."

17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when these words from the Majestic Glory were spoken about him: "This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him."

18We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

18We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

19We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

19Therefore we regard the message of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp that is shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things.

20First of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

21For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

21because no prophecy ever originated through a human decision. Instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
