A day is as a thousand years kjv how to#
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:īut chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds ) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.įor 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.īut 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.Īnd many shall follow their pernicious ways by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.Īnd 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.įor 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 Īnd 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 Īnd 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 Īnd delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 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:
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.įor 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.įor 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.Īnd this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance
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. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:įor so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 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.Īnd beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge Īnd to knowledge temperance and to temperance patience and to patience godliness Īnd to godliness brotherly kindness and to brotherly kindness charity.įor 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.īut he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,Īccording 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: 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: Genesis Networks - The Holy Bible (KJV) - II Peter
