WBT

NIV

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and are established in the present truth.
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 Indeed, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.
14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
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 have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses 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 he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in 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 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him on the holy mount.
18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise 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 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.
21 For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke [as they were] moved by the Holy Spirit.
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.
