Chapter 1
To those who are united in faith
From Simon Kefa, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are united in honorable faith, which we have received through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the understanding of our God and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Who, by the power of His divinity, has given us all the deeds that lead to life; and righteousness is what has called us into His praise and into His goodness.
In this we rejoice and take pride, and we are honored in His hope, which He has granted us, so that because of this you may be partakers of His divinity, while you reject the desire for the corruption of this world.
And you, in all diligence, have done well to surpass good in your faith, and in good for understanding, and in understanding for patience, and in patience for worship.

…in worship to unity, and in unity to love.
And all this, as it is with you, you are not weak; nor are you without fruit. Rather, it will bring you into the understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And as for him who is without this labor, he is blind who walks in darkness. And he has chosen to cleanse his head from those who speak evil against him.
And now, our brothers, be strong in the strength of your labor. Let your zeal be strong, and increase the thought of your faith, while you do this, and you will rejoice.
And a broad path will be given to you, which leads into eternal life, and the kingdom of our Savior Jesus Christ, through the remembrance of death.
And because of this, I exhort you always, and I remind you of this commandment, while you are steadfast in what is righteous.
And it seems to me that it is fitting for me, as long as I am in this my body, to remind you of this.

…for I know that speed is my third from you, as my Lord Jesus Christ knows.
And again, I urge you to be always in this commandment among you, and to remember it after my passing, and likewise to act upon it, for the sake of faithful obedience.
For indeed, he is the dispenser of wisdom who was sent, and I have known you, the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, his coming and his existence. But we ourselves have seen the greatness that he received from God the Father: glory and praise.
And the word that descended upon him, full of praise and exaltation, said: “This is my son, whom I love, whom I have chosen.”
We heard this word as it descended from heaven upon him, while we were with him on his holy mountain, concerning the word of the prophets.
And moreover, from that which precedes the word of the prophets, which knows this, and as you strongly confirm the deed and examine it, it will be for you like a lamp that shines in a place of darkness until it shines for you the day, and it will illuminate for you a path in your heart that shines.

And this alone is before the understanding, that there is no prophecy in any book that is beyond its interpretation. And prophecy is not completed by the will of man, nor by the consent of the children of men, but by the Holy Spirit the saints prophesied, having been sent from God.
Chapter 2
Concerning False Prophets
And there are only false prophets among the people, like those who are among you and within you, who teach falsehood and who bring forth deceit for the sake of gain, and they deny their Lord who sent them, and they bring upon themselves swift destruction and ruin.
And many people follow these because of the desire of their lust, and they turn away from the path of righteousness.
And they are deceived by the word which they themselves have invented, and they walk in it; but their judgment is from the creation of the world, which is unknown, and their gain is that which is unsearchable.
And God, for his angels, has strictly forbidden them and has not taught them, but has cast them into the fire of judgment which is their own, and has brought them to be judged and to dwell in the fire of judgment.

And as for the world, the ancients taught them, but not beyond seven souls with Noah, who preserved righteousness, so that there might be a testimony of righteousness. And as for the wicked men of the outside, he sent a flood upon them.
And as for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, he burned and consumed them, and thus he judged them. And he showed a sign to those who would come at the end of days for sinners.
And as for the righteous Lot, who was separated from those who were clothed in the deeds of their iniquity, he saved him.
While he saw and heard and dwelt among them, day by day he afflicted his righteous soul with the evil of their deeds, because of their abominations and their sins.
Now we know that the Lord is able to save the righteous from destruction, and for sinners the day of judgment awaits them for their affliction.
And moreover, for those who follow after their desires, and who gratify their flesh, and who mock their Creator, they are cunning and deceitful, who do not know how to be silent, so that they may speak against his glory.

flood upon them.
And as for those who are high angels, they are among them by force and strength, and they cannot resist so as to bring upon them the judgment of their transgression.
But these, like animals without speech, are born for destruction and for dissolution, because they transgress against what they do not know of their own wickedness, and they are in their destruction as a reward for their iniquity.
And they have corrupted the teaching of the righteous path, and they have turned aside to the path of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the reward of iniquity.
And they have followed Balaam in his sin, who did not prophesy by the voice of a donkey, but the mouth of the beast spoke, and all the rest of the prophet's greatness.

These are the clouds, thin and dark, which the wind scatters. Those who are for the judgment of eternal darkness, they hinder them.
For great errors occurred, and they led the soul of man astray through the desire of their lust, of their flesh. Men who were lacking in understanding entered into error.
Those who learned the law of the commandments, and they themselves became priests for the service of the sanctuary, for everything that is commanded, that is what is served.
For they departed from the sin of this world through the understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and they entered again and were purified and served him. And their latter error will be worse for them than the former, which they had rejected.
From their life, when they do not know the path of righteousness, from those who do know it, and they enter behind them, because of the holy command that was given to them.
And their arrival is like that which is likened in righteousness, of which it says: The dog entered upon its vomit, and the hyena entered upon the broken [thing].

Chapter 3
Remembrance of the Word of the Prophets and the Command of Our Lord
And this is the second epistle I have written to you, a book, that I may raise you up by remembrance, and that you may keep it in your heart for righteousness.
And that you may remember the word of the prophets, the former holy ones, who speak, and the command of our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ, which he commanded to us, the apostles.
And this also, first of all, know: that there will come in the latter times deceivers for deception, those who walk according to the desire of their heart and say, "Where is that word which says that he will come?"
Behold, if our former fathers died, because every deed existed as it has existed from the creation of the world.
And they do not know this, that even the heavens were created from nothing, and the earth from water, and it was established on water by the word of God.
And the world of nothing also, he destroyed it by the water of the flood.
And now, heaven and earth, by that same word, are shut and sealed, until the day of judgment and the condemnation of sinful men.

And do not forget this, our brothers, for one day in the presence of the Lord is like ten hundred years, and ten hundred years are like one day.
And the Lord delays the word that is written, for there are those who say that He delays, and yet He is only patient with them, for He does not wish that anyone should be deceived, but rather that He may teach all people to have mercy concerning the day of the Lord.
And the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will be shaken and tremble, and all creation that was previously bound will be consumed by fire, and the earth and all that is upon it will perish.
And all this, having been consumed, will be renewed, as if they had been in a state of holy righteousness.
While you await the day of the coming of the Lord, in which the heavens will be rent and consumed, and all creation will perish and be consumed.
We await the new heavens and the new earth, in which righteousness will dwell within them.

And the patience of our Lord gives you salvation, as our beloved brother Paul wrote to you concerning the wisdom that God gave him.
As it is in all his books, which he read among you concerning this matter. And as for what the teachers of the people who teach it have read, and those who have no learning, who have erred, they distort the word of Scripture, as they have distorted many books for their own purposes and falsify them, because of caution against error.
And you, our brothers, first advance understanding, and be cautious, lest you err in a matter that is not a small teaching, lest you fall from your steadfastness.
Be blessed in our Lord and in the honor of Jesus Christ, our Savior, and God the Father, to whom belongs praise, now and forever and unto the world of worlds. Amen.
