New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, 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;
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 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 never came 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.
