and to virtue knowledge; + +61:001:006 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and + to patience godliness; + +61:001:007 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness + charity. + +61:001:008 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. + +61:001:009 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar + off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. + +61:001:010 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your + calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall + never fall: + +61:001:011 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly + into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus + Christ. + +61:001:012 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. + +61:001:013 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to + stir you up by putting you in remembrance; + +61:001:014 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even + as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. + +61:001:015 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease + to have these things always in remembrance. + +61:001:016 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. + +61:001:017 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. + +61:001:018 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were + with him in the holy mount. + +61:001:019 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: + +61:001:020 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of + any private interpretation. + +61:001:021 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. + +61:002:001 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as + there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall + bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought + them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. + +61:002:002 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom + the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. + +61:002:003 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make + merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time + lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. + +61:002:004 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them + down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to + be reserved unto judgment; + +61:002:005 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth + person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood + upon the world of the ungodly; + +61:002:006 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes + condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto + those that after should live ungodly; + +61:002:007 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of + the wicked: + +61:002:008 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and + hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their + unlawful deeds;) + +61:002:009 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, + and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be + punished: + +61:002:010 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of + uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, + selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. + +61:002:011 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring + not railing accusation against them before the Lord. + +61:002:012 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and + destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; + and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; + +61:002:013 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that + count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and + blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while + they feast with you; + +61:002:014 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; + beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with + covetous practices; cursed children: + +61:002:015 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, + following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the + wages of unrighteousness; + +61:002:016 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with + man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. + +61:002:017 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a + tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. + +61:002:018 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they + allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much + wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live + in error. + +61:002:019 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the + servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the + same is he brought in bondage. + +61:002:020 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world + through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, + they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end + is worse with them than the beginning. + +61:002:021 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of + righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from + the holy commandment delivered unto them. + +61:002:022 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, + The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was + washed to her wallowing in the mire. + +61:003:001 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both + which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: + +61:003:002 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before + by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the + apostles of the Lord and Saviour: + +61:003:003 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days + scoffers, walking after their own lusts, + +61:003:004 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the + fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the + beginning of the creation. + +61:003:005 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of + God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the + water and in the water: + +61:003:006 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, + perished: + +61:003:007 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word + are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of + judgment and perdition of ungodly men. + +61:003:008 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day + is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as + one day. + +61:003:009 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men + count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing + that any should perish, but that all should come to + repentance. + +61:003:010 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in + the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and + the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and + the works that are therein shall be burned up. + +61:003:011 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what + manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and + godliness, + +61:003:012 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, + wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the + elements shall melt with fervent heat? + +61:003:013 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new + heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. + +61:003:014 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be + diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, + and blameless. + +61:003:015 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; + even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom + given unto him hath written unto you; + +61:003:016 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; + in which are some things hard to be understood, which they + that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the + other scriptures, unto their own destruction. + +61:003:017 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, + beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the + wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. + +61:003:018 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and + Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. + Amen. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 61 *** + +********** This file should be named 8061.txt or 8061.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
