1:1 Simon
Peter,
a
seruant
&
an
Apostle
of
Iesus
Christ,
to
them
that
haue
obtained
like
precious
Faith
with
vs,
through
the
righteousnes
of
God,
and
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ.
1:2 Grace
and
peace
be
multiplied
vnto
you
through
the
knowledge
of
God,
and
of
Iesus
our
Lord,
1:3 According
as
his
diuine
power
hath
giuen
vnto
vs
all
things
that
pertain
vnto
life
and
godlines,
through
the
knowledge
of
him
that
hath
called
vs
to
glory
and
vertue.
1:4 Whereby
are
giuen
vnto
vs
exceeding
great
and
precious
promises,
that
by
these
you
might
bee
partakers
of
the
diuine
nature,
hauing
escaped
the
corruption
that
is
in
the
world
through
lust.
1:5 And
besides
this,
giuing
all
diligence,
adde
to
your
faith,
vertue;
and
to
vertue
knowledge;
1:6 And
to
knowledge,
temperance;
and
to
temperance,
patience;
and
to
patience,
godlinesse;
1:7 And
to
godlinesse,
brotherly
kindnesse;
and
to
brotherly
kindnesse,
charitie.
1:8 For
if
these
things
be
in
you,
and
abound,
they
make
you
that
yee
shall
neither
be
barren,
nor
vnfruitfull
in
the
knowledge
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ.
1:9 But
hee
that
lacketh
these
things,
is
blind,
and
cannot
see
farre
off,
and
hath
forgotten
that
hee
was
purged
from
his
old
sinnes.
1:10 Wherefore,
the
rather,
brethren,
giue
diligence
to
make
your
calling
and
election
sure:
for
if
ye
doe
these
things,
ye
shall
neuer
fall.
1:11 For
so
an
entrance
shall
be
ministred
vnto
you
abundantly,
into
the
euerlasting
kingdome
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ.
1:12 Wherefore
I
wil
not
be
negligent
to
put
you
alwayes
in
remembrance
of
these
things,
though
yee
know
them,
and
be
stablished
in
the
present
trueth.
1:13 Yea,
I
thinke
it
meete,
as
long
as
I
am
in
this
tabernacle,
to
stirre
you
vp,
by
putting
you
in
remembrance:
1:14 Knowing
that
shortly
I
must
put
off
this
my
Tabernacle,
euen
as
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
hath
shewed
mee.
1:15 Moreouer,
I
will
endeuour,
that
you
may
bee
able
after
my
decease,
to
haue
these
things
alwayes
in
remembrance.
1:16 For
wee
haue
not
followed
cunningly
deuised
fables,
when
wee
made
knowen
vnto
you
the
power
and
comming
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
but
were
eye
witnesses
of
his
Maiestie.
1:17 For
hee
receiued
from
God
the
Father,
honour
and
glory,
when
there
came
such
a
voice
to
him
from
the
excellent
glory,
This
is
my
beloued
Sonne
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased.
1:18 And
this
voice
which
came
from
heauen
wee
heard,
when
we
were
with
him
in
the
holy
mount.
1:19 We
haue
also
a
more
sure
word
of
prophecie,
whereunto
yee
doe
well
that
ye
take
heede,
as
vnto
a
light
that
shineth
in
a
darke
place,
vntill
the
day
dawne,
and
the
day
starre
arise
in
your
hearts:
1:20 Knowing
this
first,
that
no
prophecy
of
the
Scripture
is
of
any
priuate
Interpretation:
1:21 For
the
prophecie
came
not
in
olde
time
by
the
will
of
man:
but
holy
men
of
God
spake
as
they
were
moued
by
the
holy
Ghost.
