1 سِمْعَانُ بُطْرُسُ عَبْدُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَرَسُولُهُ، إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ نَالُوا مَعَنَا إِيمَانًا ثَمِينًا مُسَاوِيًا لَنَا، بِبِرِّ إِلَهِنَا وَٱلْمُخَلِّصِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ: 2 لِتَكْثُرْ لَكُمُ ٱلنِّعْمَةُ وَٱلسَّلَامُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱللهِ وَيَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا. 3 كَمَا أَنَّ قُدْرَتَهُ ٱلْإِلَهِيَّةَ قَدْ وَهَبَتْ لَنَا كُلَّ مَا هُوَ لِلْحَيَاةِ وَٱلتَّقْوَى، بِمَعْرِفَةِ ٱلَّذِي دَعَانَا بِٱلْمَجْدِ وَٱلْفَضِيلَةِ، 4 ٱللَّذَيْنِ بِهِمَا قَدْ وَهَبَ لَنَا ٱلْمَوَاعِيدَ ٱلْعُظْمَى وَٱلثَّمِينَةَ، لِكَيْ تَصِيرُوا بِهَا شُرَكَاءَ ٱلطَّبِيعَةِ ٱلْإِلَهِيَّةِ، هَارِبِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفَسَادِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ بِٱلشَّهْوَةِ. 5 وَلِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ -وَأَنْتُمْ بَاذِلُونَ كُلَّ ٱجْتِهَادٍ- قَدِّمُوا فِي إِيمَانِكُمْ فَضِيلَةً، وَفِي ٱلْفَضِيلَةِ مَعْرِفَةً، 6 وَفِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ تَعَفُّفًا، وَفِي ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ صَبْرًا، وَفِي ٱلصَّبْرِ تَقْوَى، 7 وَفِي ٱلتَّقْوَى مَوَدَّةً أَخَوِيَّةً، وَفِي ٱلْمَوَدَّةِ ٱلْأَخَوِيَّةِ مَحَبَّةً. 8 لِأَنَّ هَذِهِ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِيكُمْ وَكَثُرَتْ، تُصَيِّرُكُمْ لَا مُتَكَاسِلِينَ وَلَا غَيْرَ مُثْمِرِينَ لِمَعْرِفَةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. 9 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ هَذِهِ، هُوَ أَعْمَى قَصِيرُ ٱلْبَصَرِ، قَدْ نَسِيَ تَطْهِيرَ خَطَايَاهُ ٱلسَّالِفَةِ. 10 لِذَلِكَ بِٱلْأَكْثَرِ ٱجْتَهِدُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوا دَعْوَتَكُمْ وَٱخْتِيَارَكُمْ ثَابِتَيْنِ. لِأَنَّكُمْ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ، لَنْ تَزِلُّوا أَبَدًا. 11 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا يُقَدَّمُ لَكُمْ بِسِعَةٍ دُخُولٌ إِلَى مَلَكُوتِ رَبِّنَا وَمُخَلِّصِنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلْأَبَدِيِّ. 12 لِذَلِكَ لَا أُهْمِلُ أَنْ أُذَكِّرَكُمْ دَائِمًا بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَالِمِينَ وَمُثَبَّتِينَ فِي ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْحَاضِرِ. 13 وَلَكِنِّي أَحْسِبُهُ حَقًّا - مَا دُمْتُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْمَسْكَنِ- أَنْ أُنْهِضَكُمْ بِٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ، 14 عَالِمًا أَنَّ خَلْعَ مَسْكَنِي قَرِيبٌ، كَمَا أَعْلَنَ لِي رَبُّنَا يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا. 15 فَأَجْتَهِدُ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدَ خُرُوجِي، تَتَذَكَّرُونَ كُلَّ حِينٍ بِهَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. 16 لِأَنَّنَا لَمْ نَتْبَعْ خُرَافَاتٍ مُصَنَّعَةً، إِذْ عَرَّفْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ وَمَجِيئِهِ، بَلْ قَدْ كُنَّا مُعَايِنِينَ عَظَمَتَهُ. 17 لِأَنَّهُ أَخَذَ مِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ كَرَامَةً وَمَجْدًا، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ صَوْتٌ كَهَذَا مِنَ ٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْأَسْنَى: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا سُرِرْتُ بِهِ». 18 وَنَحْنُ سَمِعْنَا هَذَا ٱلصَّوْتَ مُقْبِلًا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، إِذْ كُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ. 19 وَعِنْدَنَا ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلنَّبَوِيَّةُ، وَهِيَ أَثْبَتُ، ٱلَّتِي تَفْعَلُونَ حَسَنًا إِنِ ٱنْتَبَهْتُمْ إِلَيْهَا، كَمَا إِلَى سِرَاجٍ مُنِيرٍ فِي مَوْضِعٍ مُظْلِمٍ، إِلَى أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ ٱلنَّهَارُ، وَيَطْلَعَ كَوْكَبُ ٱلصُّبْحِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ، 20 عَالِمِينَ هَذَا أَوَّلًا: أَنَّ كُلَّ نُبُوَّةِ ٱلْكِتَابِ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ خَاصٍّ. 21 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ تَأْتِ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ بِمَشِيئَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ تَكَلَّمَ أُنَاسُ ٱللهِ ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ مَسُوقِينَ مِنَ ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ.

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.

"We have," saith the Apostle Peter, "a more sure word of prophecy, to which ye do well to give heed, as to a lamp in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts."
