12Therefore I will always remind you about these things, although you know them and are established in the present truth.13Yet I regard it as right, for as long as I am in this tent, to arouse you in remembrance.14Since I know that the removal of my tent is quick, just as our Lord Jesus Christ also made clear to me.15And I will also be eager always to have you, after my departure, make remembrance of these things.16For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of that majesty.17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when such a voice was borne to him by the majestic glory: 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I delighted.'18We ourselves heard this voice conveyed from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.19And we have the prophetic word more firm, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dingy place, until the day shines through and the morning star rises in your hearts.20This first, knowing that no prophecy of scripture comes of one's own explanation.21For prophecy was never borne by the will of a human, but men spoke from God as they were borne by the holy Spirit.
