\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.
