1	Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained# like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: [Simon: or, Symeon] [God...: Gr. of our God and Saviour]
			2	Grace and peace be multiplied# unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
			3	According as his divine power hath given# unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called# us to glory and virtue: [to: or, by]
			4	Whereby# are given# unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be# partakers of the divine nature, having escaped# the corruption that is in the world through lust.
			5	And# beside this, giving# all diligence, add# to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
			6	And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
			7	And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
			8	For if these things be# in you, and abound# , they make# you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [barren: Gr. idle]
			9	But he that lacketh# # these things is# blind, and cannot see afar off# , and hath forgotten# # that he was purged from his old sins.
			10	Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence# to make# your calling and election sure: for if ye do# these things, ye shall# # # never fall# # :
			11	For so an entrance shall be ministered# unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
			12	Wherefore I will# not be negligent# to put# you always in remembrance# of these things, though ye know# them , and be established# in the present# truth.
			13	Yea, I think it# meet, as long as# I am# in this tabernacle, to stir# you up# by putting you in remembrance;
			14	Knowing# that shortly I must# put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed# me.
			15	Moreover# I will endeavour# that ye may be able# after my decease to have# these things always in remembrance.
			16	For we have# not followed# cunningly devised# fables, when we made known# unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were# eyewitnesses of his majesty.
			17	For he received# from God the Father honour and glory, when there came# such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is# my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased# .
			18	And this voice which came# from heaven we heard# , when we were# with him in the holy mount.
			19	We have# also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do# well that ye take heed# , as unto a light that shineth# in a dark place, until# the day dawn# , and the day star arise# in your hearts:
			20	Knowing# this first, that no# prophecy of the scripture is# of any private interpretation.
			21	For the prophecy came# not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake# as they were moved# by the Holy Ghost. [in old time: or, at any time]
