ESV

1	Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2	May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3	His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4	by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
5	For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
6	and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
7	and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
8	For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9	For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
10	Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.
11	For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12	Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
13	I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,
14	since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15	And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
16	For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17	For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”
18	we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
19	And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
20	knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation.
21	For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

NIV

1	Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
2	Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3	His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
4	Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5	For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6	and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7	and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8	For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9	But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10	Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
11	and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12	So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.
13	I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
14	because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15	And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
16	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.
17	For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
18	We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
19	And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20	Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.
21	For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

NLT

1	This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ.I am writing to you who share the same precious faith we have. This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior.
2	May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.
3	By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
4	And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.
5	In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,
6	and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,
7	and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
8	The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9	But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.
10	So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away.
11	Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12	Therefore, I will always remind you about these things– even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught.
13	And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live.
14	For our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that I must soon leave this earthly life,
15	so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.
16	For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes
17	when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”
18	We ourselves heard that voice from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19	Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place– until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.
20	Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding,
21	or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.

KJV

1	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:
2	Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3	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:
4	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.
5	And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6	And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7	And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8	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.
9	But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10	Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11	For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12	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.
13	Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14	Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15	Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
16	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.
17	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.
18	And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19	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:
20	Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21	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.
