1:16 For we did not follow cleverly concocted fables when we made known to you the power and return 5 of our Lord Jesus Christ; 6 no, 7 we were 8 eyewitnesses of his 9 grandeur. 10 1:17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father, when that 11 voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory: “This is my dear Son, in whom I am delighted.” 12 1:18 When this voice was conveyed from heaven, we ourselves 13 heard it, for we were with him on the holy mountain. 14 1:19 Moreover, 15 we 16 possess the prophetic word as an altogether reliable thing. 17 You do well if you pay attention 18 to this 19 as you would 20 to a light shining in a murky place, until the day dawns and the morning star 21 rises in your hearts. 22 1:20 Above all, you do well if you recognize 23 this: 24 No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination, 25 1:21 for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men 26 carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
