Eph. 6:11-13 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. πανοπλία

1 John 1:6-10 If we say that we have fellowship with God and yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not continue doing the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we keep on having fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

Outline of 2 Peter

(NASB) 2 Pet 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

(KJV) 2 Pet 1:1-4 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus

Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2 Peter 1:1

Συμεὼν Πέτρος δοῦλος καὶ ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ Symeon Petros doulos kai apostolos Iesou Xristou

(NASB) Simon Peter, slave and apostle of Jesus Christ,

2 Peter 1:1

δοῦλος slave

1 Corinthians 6:19–20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple

of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and

that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price:

therefore glorify God in your body. ναὸς naos inner temple

1 Corinthians 7:22–23 For he who was called in the Lord while a

slave, is the Lord’s freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is

Christ’s slave. 23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves

of men.


2 Peter 1:1

δοῦλος slave

Eph 6:5-8 Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ; 6 not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. 7 With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, 8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.


2 Peter 1:1

δοῦλος slave Romans 6:12-23 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so

that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


2 Peter 1:1

δοῦλος slave

Matthew 25:21 ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’


2 Peter 1:1

δοῦλος slave

Matthew 20:28 … the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who reclines at the

table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”

Philippians 2:5–8 Have this attitude in yourselves which was

also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.


2 Peter 1:1

δοῦλος slave

John 8:31–34 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.”

2 Peter 1:1


MATTHIAS, LEGITIMATE MEMBER OF THE TWELVE “HO DODEKA”?

Acts 1:26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added

to the eleven apostles.

Prov. 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

Corinthians 15:3–9 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
