Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
1συμεων πετροσ δουλοσ και αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου τοισ ισοτιμον ημιν λαχουσιν πιστιν εν δικαιοσυνη του θεου ημων και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου
2Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:
2χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη πληθυνθειη εν επιγνωσει του θεου και ιησου του κυριου ημων
3As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
3ωσ παντα ημιν τησ θειασ δυναμεωσ αυτου τα προσ ζωην και ευσεβειαν δεδωρημενησ δια τησ επιγνωσεωσ του καλεσαντοσ ημασ δια δοξησ και αρετησ
4By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
4δι ων τα τιμια ημιν και μεγιστα επαγγελματα δεδωρηται ινα δια τουτων γενησθε θειασ κοινωνοι φυσεωσ αποφυγοντεσ τησ εν κοσμω εν επιθυμια φθορασ
5And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
5και αυτο τουτο δε σπουδην πασαν παρεισενεγκαντεσ επιχορηγησατε εν τη πιστει υμων την αρετην εν δε τη αρετη την γνωσιν
6And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
6εν δε τη γνωσει την εγκρατειαν εν δε τη εγκρατεια την υπομονην εν δε τη υπομονη την ευσεβειαν
7And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
7εν δε τη ευσεβεια την φιλαδελφιαν εν δε τη φιλαδελφια την αγαπην
8For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8ταυτα γαρ υμιν υπαρχοντα και πλεοναζοντα ουκ αργουσ ουδε ακαρπουσ καθιστησιν εισ την του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου επιγνωσιν
9For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
9ω γαρ μη παρεστιν ταυτα τυφλοσ εστιν μυωπαζων ληθην λαβων του καθαρισμου των παλαι αυτου αμαρτιων
10Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
10διο μαλλον αδελφοι σπουδασατε βεβαιαν υμων την κλησιν και εκλογην ποιεισθαι ταυτα γαρ ποιουντεσ ου μη πταισητε ποτε
11For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
11ουτωσ γαρ πλουσιωσ επιχορηγηθησεται υμιν η εισοδοσ εισ την αιωνιον βασιλειαν του κυριου ημων και σωτηροσ ιησου χριστου
12For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth.
12διο ουκ αμελησω αει υμασ υπομιμνησκειν περι τουτων καιπερ ειδοτασ και εστηριγμενουσ εν τη παρουση αληθεια
13But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
13δικαιον δε ηγουμαι εφ οσον ειμι εν τουτω τω σκηνωματι διεγειρειν υμασ εν υπομνησει
14Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
14ειδωσ οτι ταχινη εστιν η αποθεσισ του σκηνωματοσ μου καθωσ και ο κυριοσ ημων ιησουσ χριστοσ εδηλωσεν μοι
15And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
15σπουδασω δε και εκαστοτε εχειν υμασ μετα την εμην εξοδον την τουτων μνημην ποιεισθαι
16For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
16ου γαρ σεσοφισμενοισ μυθοισ εξακολουθησαντεσ εγνωρισαμεν υμιν την του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου δυναμιν και παρουσιαν αλλ εποπται γενηθεντεσ τησ εκεινου μεγαλειοτητοσ
17For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
17λαβων γαρ παρα θεου πατροσ τιμην και δοξαν φωνησ ενεχθεισησ αυτω τοιασδε υπο τησ μεγαλοπρεπουσ δοξησ ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ μου ο αγαπητοσ εισ ον εγω ευδοκησα
18And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
18και ταυτην την φωνην ημεισ ηκουσαμεν εξ ουρανου ενεχθεισαν συν αυτω οντεσ εν τω ορει τω αγιω
19And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
19και εχομεν βεβαιοτερον τον προφητικον λογον ω καλωσ ποιειτε προσεχοντεσ ωσ λυχνω φαινοντι εν αυχμηρω τοπω εωσ ου ημερα διαυγαση και φωσφοροσ ανατειλη εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
20Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
20τουτο πρωτον γινωσκοντεσ οτι πασα προφητεια γραφησ ιδιασ επιλυσεωσ ου γινεται
21For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
21ου γαρ θεληματι ανθρωπου ηνεχθη ποτε προφητεια αλλ υπο πνευματοσ αγιου φερομενοι ελαλησαν αγιοι θεου ανθρωποι
