Holy BIBLE 2 PETER (William Tyndale Majority Transcript)

This epistle calls believers to steadfast faith and holy living by emphasizing the divine promises that enable participation in God's nature and deliverance from worldly corruption. It urges diligent cultivation of virtues—faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love—as evidence of genuine salvation and assurance of eternal inheritance. The author, affirming the reliability of Scripture and the eyewitness testimony of Christ's majesty, warns against false teachers who promote destructive heresies, exploit the vulnerable through greed, and lead others into moral decay, contrasting their fate with the righteous deliverance promised by God. With a sobering reminder of God's patience and the imminent return of Christ, the letter calls for holy conduct, eager anticipation of the new heavens and new earth, and continual growth in grace and knowledge, urging believers to remain steadfast amid deception and to view God's longsuffering as salvation.
