+This eBook was produced by David Widger

+
+
+Book 61 2 Peter
+
+61:001:001 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:
+
+61:001:002 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge
+ of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
+
+61:001:003 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:
+
+61:001:004 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.
+
+61:001:005 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
+ virtue; 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.

+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. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
