2 Peter
Chapter: 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:
6 of 21
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
7 of 21
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:
8 of 21
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.
9 of 21
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
10 of 21
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
11 of 21
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
12 of 21
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.
13 of 21
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
14 of 21
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
15 of 21
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
16 of 21
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.
17 of 21
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
18 of 21
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
19 of 21
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
20 of 21
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.
21 of 21
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.
22 of 21
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
23 of 21
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:
24 of 21
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
25 of 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.

BIBLE CANON: 5
A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.
These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.
1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON
140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

(No mention; no quotes; opinion unknown)
2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON
170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.
It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.

4. Cheltenham/ Mommsen List | BIBLE CANON

The Cheltenham or Mommsen List is a Latin manuscript discovered by the German classical scholar Theodor Mommsen (published 1886) which probably originated in North Africa in the 4th century.
It has 24-book Old Testament and 24-book New Testament which omits Jude and James, and perhaps Hebrews, and questions the epistles of John and Peter.

The Council of Rome was a meeting of Catholic Church officials and theologians which took place in 382 under the authority of Pope Damasus I, bishop of Rome.

IMPORTANT: All Scripture text has context and background. Scripture should never be read literally or in isolation. Always seek clarification from religious scholars and teachers. In general, Scripture adheres to four principles: (1) Literal Meaning - What the Scripture says (2) Historical Setting - The story events; how the Scripture was understood in its time (3) Grammar - The surrounding sentence and paragraph; textual context (4) Synthesis - A comparison with similar Scripture to give a better contextual understanding
