5 Yea|strong="G1161", and|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1161" this|strong="G3778" very|strong="G2532" cause|strong="G3588" adding on|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" part|strong="G1161" all|strong="G3956" diligence|strong="G4710", in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102" supply|strong="G2023" virtue; and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" your virtue knowledge|strong="G1108";

7 and|strong="G1161" in|strong="G1722" your godliness|strong="G2150" love|strong="G5360" of|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" brethren|strong="G5360"; and|strong="G1161" in|strong="G1722" your love|strong="G5360" of|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" brethren|strong="G5360" love|strong="G5360".
8 For|strong="G1063" if|strong="G2532" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" are|strong="G3588" yours|strong="G4771" and|strong="G2532" abound|strong="G4121", they|strong="G2532" make|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G1519" be|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" idle nor|strong="G3761" unfruitful unto|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" knowledge|strong="G1922" of|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
9 For|strong="G1063" he|strong="G3739" that|strong="G3739" lacketh|strong="G3918" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" blind|strong="G5185", seeing only what|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" near, having|strong="G3361" forgotten|strong="G2983" the|strong="G3588" cleansing|strong="G2512" from|strong="G3588" his|strong="G2983" old|strong="G3819" sins.
10 Wherefore|strong="G1352", brethren|strong="G3588", give|strong="G4160" the|strong="G2532" more|strong="G3123" diligence|strong="G4704" to|strong="G2532" make|strong="G4160" your|strong="G2532" calling|strong="G2821" and|strong="G2532" election|strong="G1589" sure: for|strong="G1063" if|strong="G2532" ye|strong="G5210" do|strong="G4160" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778", ye|strong="G5210" shall|strong="G2532" never|strong="G3756" stumble|strong="G4417":
11 for|strong="G1063" thus|strong="G3779" shall|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" richly|strong="G4146" supplied|strong="G2023" unto|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G2532" entrance|strong="G1529" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" eternal kingdom of|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" and|strong="G2532" Saviour|strong="G4990" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
12 Wherefore|strong="G1352" I|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" ready|strong="G3195" always to|strong="G2532" put|strong="G5279" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1722" remembrance|strong="G5279" of|strong="G4012" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778", though|strong="G2539" ye|strong="G5210" know|strong="G1492" them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" are|strong="G3588" established|strong="G4741" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" truth which|strong="G3588" is|strong="G3588" with|strong="G1722" you.
13 And|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" think|strong="G2233" it|strong="G1161" right|strong="G1342", as|strong="G3745" long|strong="G3745" as|strong="G3745" I|strong="G1161" am|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" tabernacle|strong="G4638", to|strong="G1909" stir|strong="G1326" you|strong="G5210" up|strong="G1326" by|strong="G1722" putting|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1722" remembrance|strong="G5280";
14 knowing|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" putting|strong="G2532" off of|strong="G2532" my|strong="G3708" tabernacle|strong="G4638" cometh swiftly, even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G2531" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" signified unto|strong="G2424" me|strong="G1473".
15 Yea|strong="G1161", I|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" give|strong="G4160" diligence|strong="G4704" that|strong="G3588" at|strong="G1161" every|strong="G2532" time|strong="G1539" ye|strong="G5210" may|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" able|strong="G2192" after|strong="G3326" my|strong="G1699" decease|strong="G1841" to|strong="G2532" call|strong="G2532" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" to|strong="G2532" remembrance|strong="G3420".
16 For|strong="G1063" we|strong="G2249" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" follow|strong="G1811" cunningly|strong="G1811" devised|strong="G4679" fables|strong="G3454", when|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" made|strong="G1096" known|strong="G1107" unto|strong="G2424" you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G2532" power|strong="G1411" and|strong="G2532" coming|strong="G3952" of|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2424" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", but|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G3588" eyewitnesses|strong="G2030" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" majesty|strong="G3168".
17 For|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" received|strong="G2983" from|strong="G3844" God|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962" honour|strong="G5092" and|strong="G2532" glory|strong="G1391", when|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2532" such|strong="G3778" a|strong="G2532" voice|strong="G5456" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" from|strong="G3844" the|strong="G2532" excellent|strong="G3169" glory|strong="G1391", This|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" my|strong="G1473" beloved Son|strong="G5207", in|strong="G1519" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" well|strong="G2532" pleased|strong="G2106":
18 and|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" voice|strong="G5456" we|strong="G2249" ourselves heard come|strong="G1510" out|strong="G1537" of|strong="G1537" heaven|strong="G3772", when|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" were|strong="G1510" with|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" holy mount|strong="G3735".
19 And|strong="G2532" we|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2192" the|strong="G1722" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" prophecy|strong="G4397" made more|strong="G2192" sure; whereunto|strong="G3739" ye|strong="G5210" do|strong="G4160" well|strong="G2573" that|strong="G3739" ye|strong="G5210" take|strong="G2532" heed|strong="G4337", as|strong="G5613" unto|strong="G2193" a|strong="G2192" lamp|strong="G3088" shining|strong="G5316" in|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2192" dark place|strong="G5117", until|strong="G2193" the|strong="G1722" day|strong="G2250" dawn|strong="G1306", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" day-star arise in|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2192" hearts|strong="G2588":
20 knowing|strong="G1097" this|strong="G3778" first|strong="G4413", that|strong="G3754" no|strong="G3756" prophecy|strong="G4394" of|strong="G3956" scripture|strong="G1124" is|strong="G3778" of|strong="G3956" private|strong="G2398" interpretation|strong="G1955".
21 For|strong="G1063" no|strong="G3756" prophecy|strong="G4394" ever|strong="G4218" came|strong="G5342" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G1063" will|strong="G2307" of|strong="G5259" man|strong="G3756": but|strong="G1063" men spake|strong="G2980" from|strong="G5259" God|strong="G2316", being moved|strong="G5342" by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G1063" Holy|strong="G4151" Ghost|strong="G4151".
