\subsection{II Peter 1}
\VS{1} Simon Peter, slave and apostle of Jesus Christ to those having obtained 
equally valuable faith by the justness of our God and savior Jesus Christ, 
\VS{2} grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and 
Jesus our Lord. 

\VS{3} As his divine ability has bestowed to us everything for zoe-life\fnZoe{} and 
piety through the knowledge of the [one] having called us to his own glory and 
excellence, 
\VS{4} through which are bestowed to us the precious and great 
promises, in order that through these you become partakers of [the] divine 
nature, having escaped the corruption [that is] in the world in lust. 
\VS{5} And 
beside this, having applied all diligence, provide to you faith virtue, and 
to [your] virtue knowledge, 
\VS{6} and in [your] knowledge self-control, and in [your] 
self-control endurance, and in [your] endurance piety, 
\VS{7} and in your piety 
brotherly-philia-love, and in your brotherly-philia-love agape-love. 
\VS{8} For these [things] being in you and increasing make you neither idle nor fruitless in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, 
\VS{9} for in whom these [things] are not present, 
he is blind, being short-sighted, forgetting the cleansing of his old sins. 
\VS{10} Therefore rather, brothers, be earnest to make your calling and 
selection firm, for doing these [things] you will \negd{not} ever stumble. 
\VS{11} For thus richly will be provided to you the entrance into the 
eternal kingdom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. 
\VS{12} Therefore I 
will not always be ready\footnote{``ready": \hesychian{} D, ``negligent": \koine{} most} to be 
reminding you concerning these [things], although [you] know [them] and are established in the 
present truth. 
\VS{13} So I consider it just, as long as I am in this tent, 
to be arousing you in reminder, 
\VS{14} knowing that the removal of my tent 
is imminent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ revealed to me; 
\VS{15} so I am 
also earnest for you to be always able, after my departure, to be making 
remembrance of these [things]. 
\VS{16} For not having followed cleverly devised 
myths have we made known to you the ability and coming of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his greatness. 
\VS{17} For having 
received from God [the] father honor and glory when such a voice was brought to 
him by the magnificent glory: This is my agape-beloved son, in whom I have 
been pleased, 
\VS{18} and we heard this voice brought from heaven [when we] were with 
him on the holy mountain. 
\VS{19} And we have [a] more firm prophetic word, to 
which you do well giving heed as to [a] light shining in [a] dark place, until the 
day dawn and the morning star arise in your hearts. 
\VS{20} Knowing this 
first, that no prophecy of scripture is of its own interpretation, 
\VS{21} for [the] prophecy was never brought by the will of men, but men from God spoke 
being carried by [the] Holy Spirit.
