| 1:1 | 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: |
| 1:2 | Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, |
| 1:3 | 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: |
| 1:4 | 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. |
| 1:5 | And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; |
| 1:6 | And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; |
| 1:7 | And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. |
| 1:8 | 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. |
| 1:8 | 你們若充充足足的有這幾樣、就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上、不至於閒懶不結果子了。 |
| 1:8 | 你们若充充足足的有这几样，就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上，不至于闲懒不结果子了。 |
| jhn:15:2 | Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. |
| jhn:15:3 | Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. |
| jhn:15:4 | Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. |
| jhn:15:5 | I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. |
| jhn:15:6 | If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. |
| col:1:10 | That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; |
| tit:3:14 | And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. |
| COBL | |
| 1:9 | But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. |
| 1:10 | Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: |
| 1:11 | For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. |
| 1:12 | 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. |
| 1:13 | Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; |
| 1:14 | Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. |
| 1:15 | Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. |
| 1:16 | 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. |
| 1:17 | 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. |
| 1:18 | And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. |
| 1:19 | 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: |
| 1:20 | Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. |
| 1:21 | 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. |
