2 Peter chapter 1

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
