All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| 2 Peter 1:6 | by knowledge self-control, by self-control steadfastness, by steadfastness godliness, |
| 2 Peter 1:7 | by godliness brotherly affection, and by brotherly affection love. |
| 2 Peter 1:8 | For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will make you effective and productive in your (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) knowledge of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 2 Peter 1:9 | For the one who does not have these qualities is blind; he is nearsighted, having forgotten that (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) he was cleansed from (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) his past sins. |
| 2 Peter 1:10 | Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election. For by doing these things you will never come to ruin. |
| 2 Peter 1:11 | For in this way entry into the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) eternal kingdom of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. |
| 2 Peter 1:12 | Therefore I intend to keep on reminding you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) truth that you now have. |
| 2 Peter 1:13 | Indeed, I consider it the right thing to do, as long as I am in this body, to keep refreshing your memory, |
| 2 Peter 1:14 | since I know that my body will soon be put aside as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. |
| 2 Peter 1:15 | And I will also do my best to see that you will always be able to recall these things after my decease. |
| 2 Peter 1:16 | For we did not follow cunningly crafted stories when we made known to you the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) coming of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) his majesty. |
| 2 Peter 1:17 | For he received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice borne to him by the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) Majestic Glory proclaimed: “This is my Son, my Beloved, on whom my favor rests.” |
| 2 Peter 1:18 | We ourselves heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) holy mountain. |
| 2 Peter 1:19 | Moreover, we hold the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) prophetic word to be reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it as you would to a lamp shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. |
| 2 Peter 2:1 | But there were also false prophets among the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. |
| 2 Peter 2:2 | Many will follow their immoral lifestyle, and because of them the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) way of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) truth will be maligned. |
| 2 Peter 2:3 | And in their greed they will exploit you with their fabricated stories. Their condemnation has not from ancient times been idle, nor has their destruction been sleeping. |
| 2 Peter 2:4 | For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned but cast them into hell, committing them to chains of utter darkness, there to be kept until the judgment; |
| 2 Peter 2:7 | and rescued the righteous man Lot, who was distressed by the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) immoral lifestyle of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) lawless men |
| 2 Peter 2:8 | (for while that (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) righteous man was living among them day after day, he was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds that he saw and heard); |
| 2 Peter 2:10 | especially those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who in polluting lust indulge the flesh and despise authority. These bold and insolent people are not afraid to slander the glorious ones, |
| 2 Peter 2:12 | But these people, like irrational animals, born creatures of instinct to be captured and destroyed, are ignorant of those whom they slander, and in their destruction will themselves also be destroyed, |
| 2 Peter 2:13 | suffering harm as the reward for the harm they have done. They consider indulgence in the daytime a pleasure. They are spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceitful pleasures while they feast with you. |
| 2 Peter 2:15 | Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, following the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) way of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Balaam, the son of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Beor, who loved the reward of wrongdoing. |
| 2 Peter 2:16 | But he was rebuked for his own transgression — a dumb donkey, speaking with the voice of a man, restrained the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) madness of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) prophet. |
