The Second Epistle of Peter

1. Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:   (Eph. 4:5)
2. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,  (Dan. 4:1)
3. as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,  (1 Pet. 1:5)
10. Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,  (Heb 4:11)
11. searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified before hand the suffering of Christ and the glories that would follow.
    
14. knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.  (John 13:36)
19. We also have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;  (Prov. 4:18;   John 5:35)
21. 
    

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.  (1 Tim. 4:1&2)
2. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgement has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.  (Deut. 32:35;   Prov. 21:6)
4. For if God did not spare the angels who sinned,  (Rev. 20:2)
5. and
6. and turning
7. and delivered
8. (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds) - -  (Ps. 119:139)
9. then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgement,  (Ps. 34:15-19;   Ps. 37:33;   Ps. 77:8;   Prov. 12:13)
10. and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority.  They are presumptuous, self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries (Jude 4,   Jude 7&8)
22. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb:  "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."  (Prov. 26:11)

1. Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),
2. that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,
9. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  (Hab. 2:3)
13. Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.  (Heb. 2:5)
