2 Peter 1:16-18

¹⁶For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty —m

¹⁷for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: 'This is My Son — the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'n

¹⁸and this voice we — we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount.

2 Peter 1 opens with a dense, theologically packed greeting that immediately grounds the reader in the staggering reality of what God has already given through Christ. Peter then pivots to a breathtaking call: add to your faith virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godline
