WEB·2 Peter 1

¹Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

KJVSimon^G4826 Peter^G4074, a servant^G1401 and^G2532 an apostle^G652 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, to them that have obtained^G2975^(G5631) like precious^G2472 faith^G4102 with us^G2254 through^G1722 the righteousness^G1343 of God^G2316 and^G2532 our^G2257 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

² Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

KJVGrace^G5485 and^G2532 peace^G1515 be multiplied^G4129^(G5684) unto you^G5213 through^G1722 the knowledge^G1922 of God^G2316, and^G2532 of Jesus^G2424 our^G2257 Lord^G2962,

³ seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

KJVAccording as^G5613 his^G846 divine^G2304 power^G1411 hath given^G1433^(G5772) unto us^G2254 all things^G3956 that pertain unto^G4314 life^G2222 and^G2532 godliness^G2150, through^G1223 the knowledge^G1922 of him that hath called^G2564^(G5660) us^G2248 to^G1223 glory^G1391 and^G2532 virtue^G703:

⁴ by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

KJVWhereby^G1223^G3739 are given^G1433^(G5769) unto us^G2254 exceeding great^G3176 and^G2532 precious^G5093 promises^G1862: that^G2443 by^G1223 these^G5130 ye might be^G1096^(G5638) partakers^G2844 of the divine^G2304 nature^G5449, having escaped^G668^(G5631) the corruption^G5356 that is in^G1722 the world^G2889 through^G1722 lust^G1939.

⁵ Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

KJVAnd^G2532^G1161 beside^G846 this^G5124, giving^G3923^(G5660) all^G3956 diligence^G4710, add^G2023^(G5657) to^G1722 your^G5216 faith^G4102 virtue^G703; and^G1161 to^G1722 virtue^G703 knowledge^G1108;

⁶ and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;

KJVAnd^G1161 to^G1722 knowledge^G1108 temperance^G1466; and^G1161 to^G1722 temperance^G1466 patience^G5281; and^G1161 to^G1722 patience^G5281 godliness^G2150;

⁷ and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

KJVAnd^G1161 to^G1722 godliness^G2150 brotherly kindness^G5360; and^G1161 to^G1722 brotherly kindness^G5360 charity^G26.

⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 if these things^G5023 be^G5225^(G5723) in you^G5213, and^G2532 abound^G4121^(G5723), they make^G2525^(G5719) you that ye shall neither^G3756 be barren^G692 nor^G3761 unfruitful^G175 in^G1519 the knowledge^G1922 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁹ For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

KJVBut^G1063 he that^G3739 lacketh^G3361^G3918^(G5748) these things^G5023 is^G2076^(G5748) blind^G5185, and cannot see afar off^G3467^(G5723), and hath forgotten^G3024^G2983^(G5631) that he was purged from^G2512 his^G846 old^G3819 sins^G266.

¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

KJVWherefore^G1352 the rather^G3123, brethren^G80, give diligence^G4704^(G5657) to make^G4160^(G5733) your^G5216 calling^G2821 and^G2532 election^G1589 sure^G949: for^G1063 if ye do^G4160^(G5723) these things^G5023, ye shall^G4218^G4417 never^G3364 fall^G4218^G4417^(G5661):

¹¹ For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 so^G3779 an entrance^G1529 shall be ministered^G2023^(G5701) unto you^G5213 abundantly^G4146 into^G1519 the everlasting^G166 kingdom^G932 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹² Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.

KJVWherefore^G1352 I will^G272 not^G3756 be negligent^G272^(G5692) to put^G5279 you^G5209 always^G104 in remembrance^G5279^(G5721) of^G4012 these things^G5130, though^G2539 ye know^G1492^(G5761) them, and^G2532 be established^G4741^(G5772) in^G1722 the present^G3918^(G5752) truth^G225.

¹³ I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

KJVYea^G1161, I think it^G2233^(G5736) meet^G1342, as long as^G1909^G3745 I am^G1510^(G5748) in^G1722 this^G5129 tabernacle^G4638, to stir^G1326 you^G5209 up^G1326^(G5721) by^G1722 putting you in remembrance^G5280;

¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

KJVKnowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 shortly^G5031 I must^G2076^(G5748) put off^G595 this my^G3450 tabernacle^G4638, even^G2532 as^G2531 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 hath shewed^G1213^(G5656) me^G3427.

¹⁵ Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

KJVMoreover^G1161^G2532 I will endeavour^G4704^(G5692) that ye^G5209 may be able^G2192^(G5721) after^G3326 my^G1699 decease^G1841 to have^G4160^(G5733) these things^G5130 always^G1539 in remembrance^G3420.

¹⁶ For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

KJVFor^G1063 we have^G1811 not^G3756 followed^G1811^(G5660) cunningly devised^G4679^(G5772) fables^G3454, when we made known^G1107^(G5656) unto you^G5213 the power^G1411 and^G2532 coming^G3952 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, but^G235 were^G1096^(G5679) eyewitnesses^G2030 of his^G1565 majesty^G3168.

¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

KJVFor^G1063 he received^G2983^(G5631) from^G3844 God^G2316 the Father^G3962 honour^G5092 and^G2532 glory^G1391, when there came^G5342^(G5685) such^G5107 a voice^G5456 to him^G846 from^G5259 the excellent^G3169 glory^G1391, This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 beloved^G27 Son^G5207, in^G1519 whom^G3739 I^G1473 am well pleased^G2106^(G5656).

¹⁸ We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G5026 voice^G5456 which came^G5342^(G5685) from^G1537 heaven^G3772 we^G2249 heard^G191^(G5656), when we were^G5607^(G5752) with^G4862 him^G846 in^G1722 the holy^G40 mount^G3735.

¹⁹ We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,

KJVWe have^G2192^(G5719) also^G2532 a more sure^G949 word^G3056 of prophecy^G4397; whereunto^G3739 ye do^G4160^(G5719) well^G2573 that ye take heed^G4337^(G5723), as^G5613 unto a light^G3088 that shineth^G5316^(G5730) in^G1722 a dark^G850 place^G5117, until^G2193^G3739 the day^G2250 dawn^G1306^(G5661), and^G2532 the day star^G5459 arise^G393^(G5661) in^G1722 your^G5216 hearts^G2588:

²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

KJVKnowing^G1097^(G5723) this^G5124 first^G4412, that^G3754 no^G3756^G3956 prophecy^G4394 of the scripture^G1124 is^G1096^(G5736) of any private^G2398 interpretation^G1955.

²¹ For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

KJVFor^G1063 the prophecy^G4394 came^G5342^(G5681) not^G3756 in old time^G4218 by the will^G2307 of man^G444: but^G235 holy^G40 men^G444 of God^G2316 spake^G2980^(G5656) as they were moved^G5342^(G5746) by^G5259 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

WEB·1 Peter 5

¹Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed:

KJVThe elders^G4245 which are among^G1722 you^G5213 I exhort^G3870^(G5719), who^G3588 am also an elder^G4850, and^G2532 a witness^G3144 of the sufferings^G3804 of Christ^G5547, and also^G2532 a partaker^G2844 of the glory^G1391 that shall^G3195^(G5723) be revealed^G601^(G5745):

² shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;

KJVFeed^G4165^(G5657) the flock^G4168 of God^G2316 which is among^G1722 you^G5213, taking the oversight^G1983^(G5723) thereof, not^G3361 by constraint^G317, but^G235 willingly^G1596; not^G3366 for filthy lucre^G147, but^G235 of a ready mind^G4290;

³ not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

KJVNeither^G3366 as^G5613 being lords over^G2634^(G5723) God's heritage^G2819, but^G235 being^G1096^(G5740) ensamples^G5179 to the flock^G4168.

⁴ When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

KJVAnd^G2532 when the chief Shepherd^G750 shall appear^G5319^(G5685), ye shall receive^G2865^(G5695) a crown^G4735 of glory^G1391 that fadeth not away^G262.

⁵ Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

KJVLikewise^G3668, ye younger^G3501, submit yourselves^G5293^(G5649) unto the elder^G4245. Yea^G1161, all^G3956 of you be subject^G5293^(G5746) one to another^G240, and be clothed^G1463^(G5663) with humility^G5012: for^G3754 God^G2316 resisteth^G498^(G5731) the proud^G5244, and^G1161 giveth^G1325^(G5719) grace^G5485 to the humble^G5011.

⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

KJVHumble yourselves^G5013^(G5682) therefore^G3767 under^G5259 the mighty^G2900 hand^G5495 of God^G2316, that^G2443 he may exalt^G5312^(G5661) you^G5209 in^G1722 due time^G2540:

⁷ casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

KJVCasting^G1977^(G5660) all^G3956 your^G5216 care^G3308 upon^G1909 him^G846; for^G3754 he^G846 careth^G3199^(G5719) for^G4012 you^G5216.

⁸ Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

KJVBe sober^G3525^(G5657), be vigilant^G1127^(G5657); because^G3754 your^G5216 adversary^G476 the devil^G1228, as^G5613 a roaring^G5612^(G5740) lion^G3023, walketh about^G4043^(G5719), seeking^G2212^(G5723) whom^G5101 he may devour^G2666^(G5632):

⁹ Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

KJVWhom^G3739 resist^G436^(G5628) stedfast^G4731 in the faith^G4102, knowing^G1492^(G5761) that the same^G846 afflictions^G3804 are accomplished^G2005^(G5745) in your^G5216 brethren^G81 that are in^G1722 the world^G2889.

¹⁰ But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

KJVBut^G1161 the God^G2316 of all^G3956 grace^G5485, who^G3588 hath called^G2564^(G5660) us^G2248 unto^G1519 his^G846 eternal^G166 glory^G1391 by^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, after that ye have suffered^G3958^(G5631) a while^G3641,^G846 make^G2675 you^G5209 perfect^G2675^(G5659), stablish^G4741^(G5659), strengthen^G4599^(G5659), settle^G2311^(G5659) you.

¹¹ To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

KJVTo him^G846 be glory^G1391 and^G2532 dominion^G2904 for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165. Amen^G281.

¹² Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

KJVBy^G1223 Silvanus^G4610, a faithful^G4103 brother^G80 unto you^G5213, as^G5613 I suppose^G3049^(G5736), I have written^G1125^(G5656) briefly^G1223^G3641, exhorting^G3870^(G5723), and^G2532 testifying^G1957^(G5723) that this^G5026 is^G1511^(G5750) the true^G227 grace^G5485 of God^G2316 wherein^G1519^G3739 ye stand^G2476^(G5758).

¹³ She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.

KJVThe church that is at^G1722 Babylon^G897, elected together with^G4899 you, saluteth^G782^(G5736) you^G5209; and^G2532 so doth Marcus^G3138 my^G3450 son^G5207.

¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

KJVGreet ye^G782^(G5663) one another^G240 with^G1722 a kiss^G5370 of charity^G26. Peace^G1515 be with you^G5213 all^G3956 that are in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. Amen^G281.
