1 Simon Peter, a seruant & an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to them that haue obtained like precious Faith with vs, through the righteousnes of God, and our Sauiour Iesus Christ.

2 Grace and peace be multiplied vnto you through the knowledge of God, and of Iesus our Lord,

3 According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that pertain vnto life and godlines, through the knowledge of him that hath called vs to glory and vertue.

4 Whereby are giuen vnto vs exceeding great and precious promises, that by these you might bee partakers of the diuine nature, hauing escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 And besides this, giuing all diligence, adde to your faith, vertue; and to vertue knowledge;

6 And to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godlinesse;

7 And to godlinesse, brotherly kindnesse; and to brotherly kindnesse, charitie.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that yee shall neither be barren, nor vnfruitfull in the knowledge of our Lord Iesus Christ.

9 But hee that lacketh these things, is blind, and cannot see farre off, and hath forgotten that hee was purged from his old sinnes.

10 Wherefore, the rather, brethren, giue diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall.

11 For so an entrance shall be ministred vnto you abundantly, into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ.

12 Wherefore I wil not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though yee know them, and be stablished in the present trueth.

13 Yea, I thinke it meete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp, by putting you in remembrance:

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my Tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed mee.

15 Moreouer, I will endeuour, that you may bee able after my decease, to haue these things alwayes in remembrance.

16 For wee haue not followed cunningly deuised fables, when wee made knowen vnto you the power and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but were eye witnesses of his Maiestie.

17 For hee receiued from God the Father, honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne in whom I am well pleased.

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

19 We haue also a more sure word of prophecie, whereunto yee doe well that ye take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any priuate Interpretation:

21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.

2 Peter 1v10-11
The verses emphasize the need for us to make our calling and election sure that find our purpose. we need come to view that God views us to be, as verse 11 states that those who will enter heaven will be those who have tapped into their calling. As Adam lost being the image of God when he sinned, but Christ being the express image of the father restores us to the image of God(Hebrews 1v3). As the whole creation waits for the adoption to wit(Romans 8), for the manifestion of the sons. Only those who are sons and the image of God have tapped into their calling, becoming God-like creatures and able to enter the kingdom of God.

Simon Peter knew that he must walk in faith. Trusting the one that made the heavens and the earth. Always in remembrance of God sending his son to die on the cross for our sins and knowing that he must lay down his life only to pick it up in his heavenly home; teaching all godly things as he went before in his flesh for the day would soon come that he would die.

 


Sheila's 2 Peter Chapter 1 comment about verse 21 on 2/08/2013, 11:00pm...

There is a man, Harold Camping. He is the one who "guaranteed" that Jesus was coming back on 21st May 2011. He was wrong, but his followers give him NO blame. He has told them to stay out of churches and to get out if they are currently attending one. After May 21 came and Jesus did not come back, he said Jesus did come in spirit and has gone about judging all the churches and now there is NO more forgiveness and the Holy Spirit has been taken from the Earth. He ignores most bible verses and instead gives his own ideas. His followers are so misled. I cannot get any of them to just believe the Bible, especially when it says that No man knows the hour or day when Jesus returns not even Jesus. But he says that when that verse says “not even the Son of God”, that refers to Satan! What can I say to some friends who call me an "unbeliever" because I do NOT believe on H. Camping? Is this man following Satan and leading people AWAY from God? I think so.

 


Ian's 2 Peter Chapter 1 comment on 2/05/2013, 9:41am...

this verse for me proves that the interpretation of acts 20:7 justifying sunday worship is going against scripture. acts 20:7 does not command rest on sunday say sunday is hallowed to be remembered and kept holy. to go against scripture goes against God and Jesus. John 10 35 Jesus says scripture cant be broken. v20 he says I and my father are 1. John 15:10 He says I kept My fathers commandments. Luke 6:46 He says why call me Lord and not do what I say? Luke 4:16 says He went into the synagogue in Nazareth to read as was His custom. Today as then each sabbath they read from the Torah in every synagogue around the world. gentiles that are saved and truly repentant are spiritual israelites. we are adopted into Christs faith. we should obey the Word of that faith. Not what we think scripture says. Luke 4.4 man must live not by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. No scripture commands the first day to be observed or to stop observing Gods 7 holy feasts.The 7th day and 7 feasts that number is Gods number of perfection. he has a plan for the end times for Jesus to fulfill through the weekly and annual sabbaths. We need to observe them as god commanded and jesus did if we are to be right with God.

True Prophecy can only come by the will and desire of Almighty God through the Holy Spirit; it is not of man’s desire, belief, or will, nor can it ever be.

 


Don Wade's 2 Peter Chapter 1 comment about verse 19 on 12/20/2012, 1:25pm...

A word of prophecy MORE SURE THAN WHAT? From the context in verses immediately preceding this verse is a declaration that the things being declared are not mere fables - as attested to by the voice of God from the Holy mount - and EVEN MORE SO ["more sure"] by the unfaltering fulfillment of all prophecy. This is God's assurance that He is the only God - Isaiah 46:9-10 KJV, Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, {10} Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.

 


Alvin's 2 Peter Chapter 1 comment about verse 20 on 12/06/2012, 9:33pm...

The moment someone tries to say that they truly believe that this, (whatever scripture they are trying to interpret), is totally out of context with the word of God. The interpretations are from the word of God. The word of God is full proof.

 


Mokihana's 2 Peter Chapter 1 comment on 8/21/2012, 2:03pm...

Today's word to me not very clear, due to there's a lot of words that I don't understand the meaning of. There's diligence which is the beginning of verse 5. Virtual,knownledge,temperance,etc. Which Peter says will be add onto me if I be diligence,my guess is to do and act right,read the word with my heart and all understanding will come in time.
