1. 1 2 Peter 1 Α′ God's divine power has already granted everything for life and godliness and the precious, very great promises of sharing the divine nature; therefore supplement your faith with the chain of virtues and make your calling and election sure — a knowledge grounded not in cleverly devised myths but in the apostles' eyewitness of the Majesty on the holy mountain and in the more sure prophetic word, spoken by men carried along by the Holy Spirit. 21 verses · 384 words PDF
2. 2 2 Peter 2 Β′ The polemic against the false teachers: as false prophets shadowed Israel, so destructive teachers will arise within the church — denying the Master who bought them, peddling licentiousness for gain — but God, who judged the sinning angels, the flood-world, and Sodom while rescuing Noah and Lot, knows how to keep the unrighteous for the day of judgment; bold, greedy libertines in the way of Balaam, they are waterless springs reserved for the nether gloom, apostates worse off than before, the dog returned to its vomit and the washed sow to the mire. 22 verses · 370 words PDF
3. 3 2 Peter 3 Γ′ Against the last-days scoffers who mock the delay of the parousia, Peter reframes the wait as the patience of God — not slowness but mercy, granting room for repentance — and presses the certainty of the day of the Lord, coming like a thief to dissolve the present heavens and earth in fire and yield new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells; therefore be diligent, found spotless and at peace, and grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. 18 verses · 342 words PDF
