2 Peter 1 Petrou B 1
1⸀Sumeōn Petros doulos kai apostolos Iēsu Christou toi isotiman ni lanchanarantoi pistian en dikaiosuna tou theou nu kai sōtērou Iēsu Christou;Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2charitas vi kai eirēnas plēthunitoia en epignōsia tou theou kai Iēsu tou kuriou nu.Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3Hōs panteim ni tau theiau dunamiau autou teim pros zōan kai eusebeian dōrorēntau dia tau epignōsiau tou kalarantou nin ⸂idia doxa kai areta,⸃His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4dia heiu teim ⸂timieim kai megotateim ni⸃ epangelmeim dōrotē, hina dia houteiu geneveia theiau koinōnois fusiau, apofugarantois tau en ⸀to kosmo en epithumia fthorau.Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5kai autem houtem de spoudan pantan pareisferarantois epichorēgavar en ta pistia vu tan aretan, en de ta areta tan gnōsian,For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; 6en de ta gnōsia tan enkrateian, en de ta enkrateia tan hupomonan, en de ta hupomona tan eusebeian,and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7en de ta eusebeia tan filadelfian, en de ta filadelfia tan agapan;and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8houteim gar vi huparcharōnteim kai pleonazarōnteim ouk argoin oude akarpoin katastēatō eis tan tou kuriou nu Iēsu Christou epignōsian;For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9ho gar mē pareiatō houteim, tuflos atō muōpazarōntos, lēthan labarantos tou katharismou taiu palai autou ⸀hamartēmeiu.But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. 10dio mallon, adelfoir, spoudazavar bebaian vu tan klēsian kai eklogan poiorō; houteim gar poiarōntois ouk mē ptaiaveia pote;Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble, 11houtōs gar plousiōs epichorēgiti vi tas eisodas eis tan aiōnian basileian tou kuriou nu kai sōtērou Iēsu Christou.and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12Dio ⸀mellami aei vin hupomimnēskarō peri houteiu, kaiper horarēntoin kai stērizorēntoin en ta pareiarōnta alētheia.Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have. 13dikaiem de hēgomō, epi hoson amō en houte te skēnōme, diegeirarō vin en hupomnēsia,I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body, 14horarēntos hoti tachinas atō tas apothesias teu skēnōmeu mu, kathōs kai tos kurios nu Iēsus Christos dēlata mi;because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15spoudazami de kai hekastote echarō vin meta tan ēman exodan tan houteiu mnēman poiorō.And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times. 16Ouk gar sofizorēntoi muthoi exakoloutharantois gnōrizana vi tan tou kuriou nu Iēsu Christou dunamian kai parousian, alla epoptois genirantois tau ekeinou megaleiotau.For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17labarantos gar para theou patrou timan kai doxan fōnau ferirantau auto toiosdeau hupo tau megaloprepau doxau; ⸂Tos huios mu tos agapētos mu houtos atō,⸃ eis hon mis eudokamaFor He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18kai houtan tan fōnan nis akouana ek ouranou ferirantan sun auto arōntois en te ⸂hagie ore.⸃And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19kai echanō bebaioteron ton profētikon logon, ho kalōs poiavō prosecharōntois hōs luchno fanarōnto en auchmēro topo, heōs hou hēmeras diaugazateia kai fōsforos anatellateia en tai kardiai vu;We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20houtem prōtem gnōskarōntois hoti pantas profēteias grafau idiau epilusiau ouk genotō,Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation. 21ouk gar thelēme anthrōpou ferita ⸂profēteias pote,⸃ alla hupo pneumeu hagieu ferorōntois lalala ⸀apo theou anthrōpois.For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
