2 Peter 1:6First Nations Versionand knowledge with self-discipline. Unite self-discipline with never giving up, and never giving up with walking in a sacred way. See the chapter |
We are surrounded by a great cloud of truth tellers who have shown us what it means to trust the Great Spirit. So let us lay to the side everything that weighs us down and the broken ways that so easily wrap around our legs to trip us. And let us run as if we are in a long-distance race, setting a steady pace and heading toward the goal.
I know what you have been doing, how hard you have worked, and the rough path you have walked with firm steps. I also know that you do not put up with evil and worthless ways. You have put to the test the ones who falsely call themselves message bearers and have proven them to be liars who speak with forked tongues.
We pray that you will grow strong with the strength that comes from the honor and shining-greatness of his power. Then you will be able to stand firm in a calm and unhurried manner, as you give thanks with glad hearts to the Great Spirit who is our Father from above. For he is the one who has made you ready to take your place on this road of life, a place he prepared for you among all the holy ones who walk in his light.
I, He Shows Goodwill (John), am your brother in the sacred family and one who walks a path of suffering with you as we walk the good road with firm steps following Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. I had been banished to the island called Walking Place (Patmos) because I had spoken the truth about Creator Sets Free (Jesus) and his message from the Great Spirit.
