彼得后书 1

问候

1 耶稣基督的仆人和使徒西门．彼得t写信给那因我们的上帝和t救主耶稣基督的义，与我们同得一样宝贵信心的人。 2 愿恩惠、平安t，因你们认识上帝和我们的主耶稣，多多加给你们！

信徒的蒙召和被选

3 上帝的神能已把一切关乎生命和虔敬的事赐给我们，因我们认识那用自己荣耀和美德召我们的上帝。 4 因此，他已把又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们，使我们既脱离世上从情欲来的败坏，就得分享上帝的本性。 5 正因这缘故，你们要分外地努力。有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知识； 6 有了知识，又要加上节制；有了节制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬； 7 有了虔敬，又要加上爱弟兄的心；有了爱弟兄的心，又要加上爱众人的心。 8 你们有了这几样，再继续增长，就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上，不至于懒散和不结果子了。 9 没有这几样的人就是瞎眼，是短视，忘了他过去的罪已经得了洁净。 10 所以，弟兄们，要更加努力，使你们的蒙召和被选坚定不移。你们实行这几样，就永不失脚。 11 这样，必叫你们丰丰富富地得以进入我们主－救主耶稣基督永远的国度。

12 虽然你们已经知道这些事，并且在你们已有的真道上得到坚固，我还是要常常提醒你们这些事。 13 我认为趁我还在这帐棚的时候，应该激发你们的记忆， 14 因为知道我脱离这帐棚的时候快到了，正如我们的主耶稣基督所指示我的。 15 我也要尽心竭力，使你们在我去世以后时常记念这些事。

基督的荣耀和先知的信息

16 我们从前把我们主耶稣基督的大能和他来临的事告诉你们，并不是随从一些捏造出来的无稽传说，我们是曾经亲眼见过他的威荣的人。 17 他从父上帝得尊贵荣耀的时候，从至高无上的荣耀有声音出来，对他说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。” 18 我们同他在圣山的时候，亲自听见这声音从天上出来。

19 我们有先知更确实的信息，你们要好好地留意这信息，如同留意照耀在暗处的明灯，直等到天亮，晨星在你们心里升起的时候。 20 第一要紧的，你们要知道，经上所有的预言是不可随私意解释的， 21 因为预言从来没有出于人意的，而是人被圣灵感动说出上帝的话来。

2 PETER 1

1 From Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
To everyone who shares with us in the privilege of believing that our God and Savior Jesus Christ will do what is just and fair.t

2 I pray that God will be kind to you and will let you live in perfect peace! May you keep learning more and more about God and our Lord Jesus.

Living as the Lord's //Followers


3 We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learned he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness.

4 God made great and marvelous promises, so his nature would become part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world.
5 Do your best to improve your faith by adding goodness, understanding, 6 self-control, patience, devotion to God, 7 concern for others, and love. 8 If you keep growing in this way, it will show that what you know about our Lord Jesus Christ has made your lives useful and meaningful.

9 But if you don't grow, you are like someone who is nearsighted or blind, and you have forgotten that your past sins are forgiven.
10 My friends, you must do all you can to show God has really chosen and selected you. If you keep on doing this, you won't stumble and fall.

11 Then our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will give you a glorious welcome into his kingdom that will last forever.
12 You are holding firmly to the truth you were given. But I am still going to remind you of these things. 13 In fact, I think I should keep on reminding you until I leave this body. 14 And our Lord Jesus Christ has already told me that I will soon leave it behind.

15 This is why I am doing my best to make sure that each of you remembers all of this after I am gone.

The Message about the Glory //of Christ


16 When we told you about the power and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not telling clever stories someone had made up. But with our own eyes we saw his true greatness. 17 t God, our great and wonderful Father, truly honored him by saying, “This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him.”

18 We were there with Jesus on the holy mountain and heard this voice speak from heaven.
19 All of this makes us even more certain that what the prophets said is true. So you should pay close attention to their message, as you would to a lamp shining in some dark place. You must keep on paying attention until daylight comes and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 But you need to realize that no one alone can understand any of the prophecies in the Scriptures. 21 The prophets did not think these things up on their own, but they were guided by the Spirit of God.
