2 Peter 1:1

KJV

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:

LSB

Simeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received the same kind of faith as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:

NASB NKJV LSB NLT AMP HCSB CEB NET NWT

For notes on “servant” vs “bondservant / slave”, see: Rom. 1:1, Jam. 1:1, Jude 1:1. Many textual critics suggest that modern versions implement a Greek grammar rule known as the “Granville Sharp Rule” in this verse, making a stronger case for the deity of Christ, which was supposedly unknown in the time of the King James translators. This is a myth, debunked and disproven in this video.
