1. A Greeting from Peter

   (1 Peter 1:1–2)

2. 1ENGOJBShim'on Kefa, an eved and Shliach of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua: to the ones having obtained, with us, equally precious emunah (faith) in the Tzedek Hashem of Eloheinu and Moshieinu Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.BSBBSB: Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
3. 2ENGOJBChesed Hashem and Shalom Hashem to you abundantly in the da'as (personal, saving knowledge) of Hashem and Adoneinu Yehoshua.BSBBSB: Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

4. Partakers of the Divine Nature

5. 3ENGOJBAs the gevurat Hashem (the power of G-d) has given us everything for Chayyim (life) and chasidus through the da'as (personal, saving knowledge) of the One Who bestows on us the kri'ah (calling) to His own Kavod (Glory) and Tzidkanut (Righteousness),BSBBSB: His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
6. 4ENGOJBSo Hashem has given us precious havtachot gedolot (great promises) that through these promises you might become regenerate deveykus participants with the life of the teva haelohi (divine nature), having escaped the degenerate Olam Hazehʼs lust engendered corruption.BSBBSB: Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
7. 5ENGOJBFor this very reason, you must apply all zerizut (diligence) to supply emunah with midah hatov (the attribute of virtue), and midah hatov with da'as (knowledge),BSBBSB: For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
8. 6ENGOJBAnd da'as with shlitah atzmit (self-control), and shlitah atzmit with chozek (fortitude) and chozek with chasidus (piety),BSBBSB: and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
9. 7ENGOJBAnd chassidus with ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love), and ahavah shel achvah with ahavah (agape).BSBBSB: and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
10. 8ENGOJBFor if these midos are in you increasingly, they will forestall you from being batlanim (idlers) and lo poreh (unfruitful) in the da'as (personal saving knowledge) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua.BSBBSB: For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
11. 9ENGOJBFor the one with whom these middos chasidus (qualities of piety) are not present is an ivver (blind man), being shortsighted, having forgotten the tohorah (cleansing) of his past averos.BSBBSB: But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
12. 10ENGOJBTherefore, Achim b'Moshiach, be eagerly diligent to make your kri'ah (summons) and bechirah (election) sure, for, if you do these things, you will never fall over a michshol (stumbling block).BSBBSB: Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
13. 11ENGOJBFor thus will be richly provided for you the entrance into the Malchut Olam of Adoneinu and Moshieinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.BSBBSB: and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
14. 12ENGOJBTherefore, it is my tachlis (purpose, final end) always to remind you concerning these things, even though you have da'as of them and have been stabilized in HaEmes that you have.BSBBSB: Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
15. 13ENGOJBBut I consider it befitting, as long as I am in this ohel, to arouse you with a tizkoret (reminder),BSBBSB: I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,
16. 14ENGOJBAls (since) I know that the putting off of my mishkan is imminent, as indeed Adoneinu Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua made clear to me.BSBBSB: because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
17. 15ENGOJBAnd also I am eager to cause you to always possess the zichron (memory) of these things after my exodus.BSBBSB: And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.

18. Eyewitnesses of His Majesty

    (Matthew 17:1–13; Mark 9:1–13; Luke 9:28–36)

19. 16ENGOJBFor we had not followed cleverly crafted aggadot or doichek (farfetched) bubbemeises or reid (hearsay) when we made known to you the gevurah (miraculous power) of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua and the Bi'as HaMoshiach of him; no, we had been edei re'iyah (eyewitnesses) of Moshiachʼs majestic gedulah (greatness).BSBBSB: For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
20. 17ENGOJBFor having received from Elohim HaAv kavod va'oz, the bat kol was conveyed to Moshiach by the Majestic Glory, ZEH BENI AHUVI ASHER BO CHAFATSTI (This is my Son, the beloved, with whom I am well pleased).BSBBSB: For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
21. 18ENGOJBAnd this bat kol we heard out of Shomayim, having been brought with Moshiach upon the Har HaKodesh.BSBBSB: And we ourselves heard this voice from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
22. 19ENGOJBAnd we have the Dvar HaNevu'ah (Word of Prophecy) made more sure, to which you do well in giving heed as to a menorah shining in a place of choshech until HaYom of Olam Habah dawns and the Kochav (Star) haNogah (of Brightness, Venus) rises in your levavot (hearts).BSBBSB: We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
23. 20ENGOJBKnowing this first: that every nevu'ah (prophecy) of the Kitvei Hakodesh is not of the prophetʼs own explanation.BSBBSB: Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
24. 21ENGOJBFor no nevu'ah was at any time brought by the ratzon HaBnei Adam (will of Man), but men being carried along by the Ruach Hakodesh spoke from Hashem.BSBBSB: For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
