Simón¹ Pedro, siervo^a y apóstol de Jesucristo^b, a los que han recibido una fe como² la nuestra^c, mediante³ la justicia^d de nuestro Dios y Salvador, Jesucristo^e: 2 Gracia y paz os sean multiplicadas^a en el conocimiento de Dios y de Jesús nuestro Señor^b.

3 Pues su divino poder^a nos ha concedido todo cuanto concierne a la vida y a la piedad, mediante el verdadero conocimiento de aquel^b que nos llamó por¹ su gloria^c y excelencia², 4 por medio de las cuales nos ha concedido sus preciosas y maravillosas promesas^a, a fin de que por ellas lleguéis a ser partícipes de la naturaleza divina^b, habiendo escapado^c de la corrupción^d que hay en el mundo^e por causa de la concupiscencia. 5 Por esta razón también, obrando con toda diligencia, añadid^a a vuestra fe, virtud^b, y a la virtud, conocimiento^c; 6 al conocimiento, dominio propio^a, al dominio propio, perseverancia^b, y a la perseverancia, piedad^c, 7 a la piedad, fraternidad y a la fraternidad, amor^a. 8 Pues estas virtudes, al estar en vosotros y al abundar, no os dejarán ociosos¹ ni estériles^a en el verdadero conocimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo^b. 9 Porque el que carece de estas virtudes es ciego^a o corto de vista, habiendo olvidado la purificación^b de sus pecados pasados. 10 Así que, hermanos, sed tanto más diligentes para hacer firme vuestro llamado^a y elección^b de parte de Dios; porque mientras hagáis¹ estas cosas nunca tropezaréis^c; 11 pues de esta manera os será concedida^a ampliamente^b la entrada al reino eterno^c de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo^d.

12 Por tanto, siempre estaré listo para recordaros estas cosas, aunque vosotros ya las sabéis^a y habéis sido confirmados en la verdad que está presente en vosotros^b. 13 Y considero justo^a, mientras esté en este cuerpo^1b, estimularos recordándoos^c estas cosas², 14 sabiendo que mi separación del cuerpo¹ terrenal es inminente^a, tal como me lo ha declarado nuestro Señor Jesucristo^b. 15 También yo procuraré con diligencia, que en todo tiempo, después de mi partida^a, podáis recordar estas cosas.

16 Porque cuando os dimos a conocer el poder y la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo^a, no seguimos fábulas ingeniosamente inventadas^b, sino que fuimos testigos oculares de su majestad^c. 17 Pues cuando Él recibió honor y gloria de Dios Padre, la majestuosa Gloria^a le hizo esta declaración^1b: Este es mi Hijo amado en quien me he complacido; 18 y nosotros mismos escuchamos esta declaración¹, hecha desde el cielo cuando estábamos con Él en el monte santo^a.

19 Y así tenemos la palabra profética^a más segura^1b, a la cual hacéis bien en prestar atención como a una lámpara^c que brilla en el lugar oscuro, hasta que el día despunte^d y el lucero de la mañana^e aparezca en vuestros corazones^f. 20 Pero ante todo sabed esto^a, que ninguna profecía^b de la Escritura es asunto de interpretación personal, 21 pues ninguna profecía fue dada¹ jamás por un acto de voluntad humana^a, sino que hombres inspirados² por el Espíritu Santo hablaron de parte de Dios^3b.

¹Simon Peter, a ^abond-servant and ^bapostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have received ^ca faith of the same ²kind as ours, ³by ^dthe righteousness of ^eour God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 ^aGrace and peace be multiplied to you in ^bthe knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His ^adivine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true ^bknowledge of Him who ^ccalled us ¹by His own glory and ²excellence. 4 ¹For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent ^apromises, so that by them you may become ^bpartakers of the divine nature, having ^cescaped the ^dcorruption that is in ^ethe world by lust. 5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith ^asupply ^bmoral ¹excellence, and in your moral excellence, ^cknowledge, 6 and in your knowledge, ^aself-control, and in your self-control, ^bperseverance, and in your perseverance, ^cgodliness, 7 and in your godliness, ^abrotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor ^aunfruitful in the true ^bknowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these qualities is ^ablind or short-sighted, having forgotten his ^bpurification from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His ^acalling and ^bchoosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never ^cstumble; 11 for in this way the entrance into ^athe eternal kingdom of our ^bLord and Savior Jesus Christ will be ^cabundantly ^dsupplied to you.

12 Therefore, ^aI will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in ^bthe truth which is present with you. 13 I consider it ^aright, as long as I am in ^bthis earthly dwelling, to ^cstir you up by way of reminder, 14 knowing that ^athe laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, ^bas also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will also be diligent that at any time after my ^adeparture you will be able to call these things to mind.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised ^atales when we made known to you the ^bpower and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were ^ceyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an ^1autterance as this was ²made to Him by the ^bMajestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”— 18 and we ourselves heard this ¹utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the ^aholy mountain.

19 ¹So we have ^athe prophetic word made more ^bsure, to which you do well to pay attention as to ^ca lamp shining in a dark place, until the ^dday dawns and the ^emorning star arises ^fin your hearts. 20 But ^aknow this first of all, that ^bno prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 for ^ano prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men ^bmoved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
