2 Peter 1:20

---

← 2 Peter 1:19	2 Peter 1:20 (KJV)	2 Peter 1:21 →
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:	Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.	For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
