2 Peter 1:13-21

Legacy Standard Bible

¹³ I consider it ^(A)right, as long as I am in ^(B)this earthly dwelling, to ^(C)stir you up by way of reminder, ¹⁴ knowing that ^(D)the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, ^(E)as also our Lord Jesus Christ has indicated to me. ¹⁵ And I will also be diligent that at any time after my ^[a](F)departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

Eyewitnesses of Jesus

¹⁶ For we did not make known to you the ^(G)power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly devised ^(H)myths, but being ^(I)eyewitnesses of His majesty. ¹⁷ For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an ^[b](J)utterance as this was ^[c]made to Him by the ^(K)Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”— ¹⁸ and we ourselves heard this ^[d]utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the ^(L)holy mountain.

^19 [e]And we have as more ^(M)sure ^(N)the prophetic word, to which you do well to pay attention as to ^(O)a lamp shining in a dark place, until the ^(P)day dawns and the ^(Q)morning star arises ^(R)in your hearts. ^20 (S)Know this first of all, that ^(T)no prophecy of Scripture comes by one’s own interpretation. ²¹ For ^(U)no prophecy was ever made by the will of man, but men being ^(V)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
