 • 2 Peter 1:1-8  John 17:1-11

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 1:1-8

1 - (This letter is from) Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. To those who have obtained a faith - of equal standing with ours - by the righteousness of our God and our savior Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and peace be plentiful toward you in the knowing of God and of Jesus our Lord.

     3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life, through the true knowledge of he who called us by his own glory and excellence. 4 By which he has granted to us his priceless and very great promises, so that through them we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the world’s corruption [phthora - corruption, destruction, decay, decomposition, dissolution]. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith, virtue [areté - goodness, virtue] and add to it, knowledge, 6 and to knowledge, add self-control, and to self-control, steadfastness, and to steadfastness add godliness, 7 and to godliness add genuine brotherly affection, and to brotherly affection add love.

     8 For if these qualities are yours, and are increasing, they will keep you fruitful and benefitting in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.

            🌙 P.M. John 17:1-11

1 - After Jesus had said these things, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you. 2 You’ve given him authority over all, to give eternal [aiónios - adjective of aion/eon/age, aionions] life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is enduring [aiónios] life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

     4 I glorified You while upon earth, and accomplished the work You gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own Presence with the glory I had with you before the world was.

     6 I’ve shown you to the people which you gave me out of the world.” {See vs.2, it began with the twelve.} Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know all you have given me is from you. 8 For I’ve given them the words you gave to me, and they received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you. They believe you sent me, 9 and I’m praying for them. I’m not praying for - the world - but for those you’ve given me, for they’re yours.

     10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I’m glorified in them. 11 I’m no longer in the world, but they’re in the world, and I’m coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name [onoma - name, character, reputation, cause] which you have given to me, that they may be one, as we are one.”
