Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His acalling and bchoosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never cstumble;for in this way the entrance into athe eternal kingdom of our bLord and Savior Jesus Christ will be cabundantly dsupplied to you.Therefore, aI will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in bthe truth which is present with you.I consider it aright, as long as I am in bthis earthly dwelling, to cstir you up by way of reminder,knowing that athe laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, bas also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.And I will also be diligent that at any time after my adeparture you will be able to call these things to mind.Simon Peter, a abond-servant and bapostle of Jesus Christ,aGrace and peace be multiplied to you in bthe knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;seeing that His adivine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true bknowledge of Him who ccalled us by His own glory and excellence.For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent apromises, so that by them you may become bpartakers of the divine nature, having cescaped the dcorruption that is in ethe world by lust.Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith asupply bmoral excellence, and in your moral excellence, cknowledge,and in your knowledge, aself-control, and in your self-control, bperseverance, and in your perseverance, cgodliness,and in your godliness, abrotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor aunfruitful in the true bknowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.For he who lacks these qualities is ablind or short-sighted, having forgotten his bpurification from his former sins.

For we did not follow cleverly devised atales when we made known to you the bpower and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were ceyewitnesses of His majesty.For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an autterance as this was made to Him by the bMajestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased"--and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the aholy mountain.

and especially those who aindulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and bdespise authority.awhereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.But athese, like unreasoning animals, bborn as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,suffering wrong as athe wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to brevel in the cdaytime. They are stains and blemishes, breveling in their deceptions, as they dcarouse with you,having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, aenticing bunstable souls, having a heart trained in cgreed, daccursed children;forsaking athe right way, they have gone astray, having followed bthe way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved cthe wages of unrighteousness;but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, afor a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.These are asprings without water and mists driven by a storm, bfor whom the black darkness has been reserved.For speaking out aarrogant words of bvanity they centice by fleshly desires, by dsensuality, those who barely eescape from the ones who live in error,promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for aby what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.But afalse prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be bfalse teachers camong you, who will dsecretly introduce edestructive heresies, even fdenying the

But athe day of the Lord bwill come like a thief, in which cthe heavens dwill pass away with a roar and the eelements will be destroyed with intense heat, and fthe earth and its works will be burned up.Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,alooking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which bthe heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the celements will melt with intense heat!But according to His apromise we are looking for bnew heavens and a new earth, cin which righteousness dwells.aTherefore, bbeloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be cfound by Him in peace, dspotless and blameless,and regard the apatience of our Lord as salvation; just as also bour beloved brother Paul, caccording to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,as also in all his letters, speaking in them of athese things, bin which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and cunstable distort, as they do also dthe rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.You therefore, abeloved, knowing this beforehand, bbe on your guard so that you are not carried away by cthe error of dunprincipled men and efall from your own steadfastness,aThe Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but bis patient toward you, cnot wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

as we anight and day keep praying most earnestly that we may bsee your face, and may ccomplete what is lacking in your faith?aNow may bour God and Father cHimself and Jesus our Lord ddirect our way to you;and may the Lord cause you to increase and aabound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you;so that He may aestablish your hearts bwithout blame in holiness before cour God and Father at the dcoming of our Lord Jesus ewith all His saints.Therefore awhen we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at bAthens alone,and we sent aTimothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith,so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that awe have been destined for this.For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; aand so it came to pass, as you know.For this reason, awhen I could endure it no longer, I also bsent to find out about your faith, for fear that cthe tempter might have tempted you, and dour labor would be in vain.But now that aTimothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of byour faith and love, and that you always cthink kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you,for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith;for now we really live, if you astand firm in the Lord.For awhat thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account,
