¹ Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have taken with us the even-faith, in the rightwiseness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

² grace and peace be [full]-filled to you, by the knowing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

³ How all things of his god-like virtue, that be to life and piety, be given to us, by the knowing of him, that called us for his own glory and virtue.

⁴ By whom he gave to us most precious promises; that by these things ye shall be made fellows of God’s kind, and flee the corruption of that covetousness, that is in the world.

⁵ And bring ye in all busyness, and minister in your faith virtue, and in virtue knowing [or science];

⁶ in knowing [or in science], abstinence, in abstinence patience, in patience piety;

⁷ in piety, love of brotherhood, and in love of brotherhood charity.

⁸ For if these be with you, and overcome, [or be plenteous], they shall not make you void, neither without fruit, in the knowing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ But to whom these be not ready, he is blind, and gropeth with his hand, and forgetteth the purging of his old trespasses.

¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, be ye more busy, that by good works ye make your calling and choosing certain; for ye doing these things, shall not do sin any time [or shall not sin any time].

¹¹ For thus the entering into [the] everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, shall be ministered to you plenteously.

¹² For which thing I shall begin to admonish you evermore of these things; and I will, that ye be know ing, and confirmed in this present truth.

¹³ Forsooth I deem justly [or I deem just], as long as I am in this taber-nacle, to raise you in admonishing;

¹⁴ and I am certain, that the putting away [or the putting off] of my tabernacle is swift, by this that our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed to me.

¹⁵ But I shall give busyness, that oft after my death ye have mind of these things.

¹⁶ For we not pursuing unwise tales, have made known to you the virtue and the before-knowing [or the prescience] of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were made beholders of his greatness.

¹⁷ For he took of God the Father honour and glory, by such manner voice slid down to him from the great glory, This is my loved Son, in whom I have pleased to me; hear ye him.

¹⁸ And we heard this voice brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy hill.

¹⁹ And we have a firmer word of prophecy, to which ye giving attention do well, as to a lantern that giveth light in a dark place, till the day begin to give light, and the day star spring in your hearts.

²⁰ And first understand ye this thing, that each prophecy of scripture is not made by proper, [or own], interpretation;

²¹ for prophecy was not brought any time by man’s will, but the holy men of God inspired with the Holy Ghost spake.
