Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:2 - May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:3 - 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,

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:5 - For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:8 - For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Eyewitnesses

(Mat 17:5; Mar 9:7; Luk 9:35 )
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:16 - 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.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:17 - 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,"
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:18 - we heard this voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:19 - And we have the prophetic word made more sure. You will do well to pay attention to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:20 - First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
Unchecked Copy Box2Pe 1:21 - because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
