3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
3 His 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.
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.
4 Through 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.
5 For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 For 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.
9 For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
11 so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder,
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
14 since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.
14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
16 For 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.
17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"
17 He 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.”
18 we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
19 And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
19 We 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.
20 First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.
21 because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
21 For 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.
