[silscr]

Hi
Happy Thanksgiving!

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2 Peter 1:16

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 1:17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”--

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 1:18 and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 1:19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 1:20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation,

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 1:21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:6 and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter;

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:8 (for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:10 and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority.
Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:11 whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:12 But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:13 suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,

 

[HiltiesGwerf]

2 Peter 2:14 having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;
