The shining of the divine truth
vv. 12-21
1.
By the glory of the apostles' witnessing
vv. 12-18
2 Pet. 1
:12
1:12

aremind you concerning these things, even though you know
them and have been
bestablished in the
1present ctruth.
2 Pet. 1

And I consider it
aright, as long as I am in this
1btabernacle, to
cstir you up by a reminder,
2 Pet. 1
:14
1:14
Knowing that the
1aputting off of my tabernacle is imminent, even as
2also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
2 Pet. 1

Moreover I will also be diligent that you may be able, after my
1aexodus, to
bbring these things to mind at all times.
2 Pet. 1

For we did not
1follow acleverly devised
2bmyths when we made known to you the
cpower and
3dcoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we became
4eeyewitnesses of that One's
5majesty.

By the light of the prophetic word
vv. 19-21
2 Pet. 1

1:19
1And we have the
aprophetic word
made more
bfirm, to which you do well to give heed as to a
2clamp shining in a
3dark place, until the
4dday dawns and the
emorning star rises in your hearts;
2 Pet. 1
:20
1:20
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of
aScripture is of
1one's own
2interpretation;
2 Pet. 1
:21
1:21
1For no prophecy was ever
2borne by the will of man, but men spoke from God while being
2borne by the Holy
aSpirit.
