PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Simón Pedro, siervo y apóstol de Jesucristo, a los que han recibido una fe tan preciosa como la nuestra, por la justicia de nuestro Dios y Salvador Jesucristo:
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
1 Συμεὼν Πέτρος, δοῦλος καὶ ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τοῖς ἰσότιμον ἡμῖν λαχοῦσι πίστιν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·
2 Que la gracia y la paz les sean multiplicadas por el conocimiento de Dios y de Jesús nuestro Señor.
2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη πληθυνθείη ἐν ἐπιγνώσει τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.
3 Su poder divino nos ha dado todo lo necesario para la vida y la piedad, por medio del conocimiento de aquel que nos llamó por su gloria y excelencia.
3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,
3 Ὡς πάντα ἡμῖν τῆς θείας δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ τὰ πρὸς ζωὴν καὶ εὐσέβειαν δεδωρημένης διὰ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ καλέσαντος ἡμᾶς διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀρετῆς,
4 Por medio de estas cosas, él nos ha dado promesas preciosas y grandísimas, para que por ellas ustedes participen de la naturaleza divina, habiendo escapado de la corrupción que hay en el mundo por los malos deseos.
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
4 δι᾽ ὧν τὰ τίμια ἡμῖν καὶ μέγιστα ἐπαγγέλματα δεδώρηται, ἵνα διὰ τούτων γένησθε θείας κοινωνοὶ φύσεως ἀποφυγόντες τῆς ἐν κόσμῳ ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ φθορᾶς.
5 Por esta misma razón, pongan todo empeño en añadir a su fe virtud; a la virtud, conocimiento;
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
5 καὶ αὐτὸ τοῦτο δὲ σπουδὴν πᾶσαν παρεισενέγκαντες ἐπιχορηγήσατε ἐν τῇ πίστει ὑμῶν τὴν ἀρετήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν,
6 al conocimiento, dominio propio; al dominio propio, perseverancia; a la perseverancia, piedad;
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;
6 ἐν δὲ τῇ γνώσει τὴν ἐγκράτειαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐγκρατείᾳ τὴν ὑπομονήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ὑπομονῇ τὴν εὐσέβειαν,
7 a la piedad, afecto fraternal; y al afecto fraternal, amor.
7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
7 ἐν δὲ τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ τὴν φιλαδελφίαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ τὴν ἀγάπην.
8 Porque si estas cosas están en ustedes y abundan, no los dejarán ser inútiles ni sin fruto en el conocimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 ταῦτα γὰρ ὑμῖν ὑπάρχοντα καὶ πλεονάζοντα οὐκ ἀργοὺς οὐδὲ ἀκάρπους καθίστησιν εἰς τὴν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐπίγνωσιν·
9 Pero el que no tiene estas cosas está ciego, ve solo lo cercano, y ha olvidado que fue limpiado de sus antiguos pecados.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
9 ᾧ γὰρ μὴ πάρεστι ταῦτα, τυφλός ἐστι, μυωπάζων, λήθην λαβὼν τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ τῶν πάλαι αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν.
10 Por eso, hermanos, esfuércense más en afirmar su llamamiento y elección. Porque si hacen estas cosas, nunca caerán.
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
10 διὸ μᾶλλον, ἀδελφοί, σπουδάσατε βεβαίαν ὑμῶν τὴν κλῆσιν καὶ ἐκλογὴν ποιεῖσθαι· ταῦτα γὰρ ποιοῦντες οὐ μὴ πταίσητέ ποτε.
11 Así se les abrirá ampliamente la entrada al reino eterno de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo.
11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
11 οὕτω γὰρ πλουσίως ἐπιχορηγηθήσεται ὑμῖν ἡ εἴσοδος εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον βασιλείαν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
12 Por eso siempre estaré dispuesto a recordarles estas cosas, aunque ustedes ya las saben y están firmes en la verdad que ahora tienen.
12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.
12 Διὸ οὐκ ἀμελήσω ἀεὶ ὑμᾶς ὑπομιμνήσκειν περὶ τούτων, καίπερ εἰδότας καὶ ἐστηριγμένους ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ἀληθείᾳ.
13 Mientras viva en este cuerpo, considero justo despertarlos con estos recordatorios.
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
13 δίκαιον δὲ ἡγοῦμαι, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον εἰμὶ ἐν τούτῳ τῷ σκηνώματι, διεγείρειν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὑπομνήσει,
14 Sé que pronto dejaré este cuerpo, como nuestro Señor Jesucristo me lo ha mostrado.
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
14 εἰδὼς ὅτι ταχινή ἐστιν ἡ ἀπόθεσις τοῦ σκηνώματός μου, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς ἐδήλωσέ μοι.
15 También procuraré que, después de mi partida, ustedes siempre puedan recordar estas cosas.
15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
15 σπουδάσω δὲ καὶ ἑκάστοτε ἔχειν ὑμᾶς μετὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἔξοδον τὴν τούτων μνήμην ποιεῖσθαι.
16 Porque no seguimos mitos inventados con astucia cuando les dimos a conocer el poder y la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, sino que fuimos testigos oculares de su majestad.
16 For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
16 Οὐ γὰρ σεσοφισμένοις μύθοις ἐξακολουθήσαντες ἐγνωρίσαμεν ὑμῖν τὴν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δύναμιν καὶ παρουσίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπόπται γενηθέντες τῆς ἐκείνου μεγαλειότητος.
17 Él recibió honra y gloria de Dios Padre, cuando desde la Majestuosa Gloria le vino una voz que decía: Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien tengo complacencia.
17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
17 λαβὼν γὰρ παρὰ Θεοῦ πατρὸς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν φωνῆς ἐνεχθείσης αὐτῷ τοιᾶσδε ὑπὸ τῆς μεγαλοπρεποῦς δόξης, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, εἰς ὃν ἐγὼ εὐδόκησα, —
18 Nosotros oímos esta voz venida del cielo, cuando estábamos con él en el monte santo.
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
18 καὶ ταύτην τὴν φωνὴν ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐνεχθεῖσαν, σὺν αὐτῷ ὄντες ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ ἁγίῳ.
19 También tenemos la palabra profética más segura, a la cual ustedes hacen bien en prestar atención, como a una lámpara que brilla en lugar oscuro, hasta que amanezca el día y la estrella de la mañana salga en sus corazones.
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
19 καὶ ἔχομεν βεβαιότερον τὸν προφητικὸν λόγον, ᾧ καλῶς ποιεῖτε προσέχοντες ὡς λύχνῳ φαίνοντι ἐν αὐχμηρῷ τόπῳ, ἕως οὗ ἡμέρα διαυγάσῃ καὶ φωσφόρος ἀνατείλῃ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν,
20 Ante todo, entiendan esto: ninguna profecía de la Escritura viene de interpretación humana.
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
20 τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶσα προφητεία γραφῆς ἰδίας ἐπιλύσεως οὐ γίνεται.
21 Porque la profecía nunca vino por voluntad humana, sino que los santos hombres de Dios hablaron siendo guiados por el Espíritu Santo.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
21 οὐ γὰρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη ποτὲ προφητεία, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὸ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἅγιοι Θεοῦ ἄνθρωποι.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Apostle Peter says, "We have a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts."

For thus we come to bear Christ in us, because His Body and Blood are distributed through our members; thus it is that, according to the blessed Peter, we become partakers of the divine nature.

Of this lamp the Apostle Peter says: "We have a more sure word of prophecy, to which ye do well giving heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts." Accordingly the prophets are lamps, and all prophecy one great lamp.
