The text is a pastoral letter attributed to the apostle Peter, addressed to fellow believers who share in Christian faith. Its central argument moves through two linked concerns: first, an exhortation to cultivate a progressive chain of virtues \u2014 from faith through virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, to love \u2014 as the practical means of confirming one's divine calling; second, a defense of apostolic testimony, insisting that the proclamation of Christ's power rests not on invented myths but on direct eyewitness experience, specifically the Transfiguration on the holy mountain. A distinctive claim in the passage is the epistemological argument about Scripture: prophecy is not a product of human will or private interpretation, but of holy men moved by the Holy Spirit, making prophetic writing uniquely authoritative. The parallel-column format, with the KJV augmented by Strong's numbers, suggests this is a scholarly or study-Bible resource aimed at readers engaged in word-level textual comparison across Greek, English, and Latin traditions.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 2 Peter: 2 Peter 1","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1317}
