13. And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14. knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me.
15. Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.
16. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:
18. and this voice we ourselves heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19. And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:
20. knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
21. For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Ghost.
