2 Peter 1:21

Next

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.

For {G1063} the prophecy {G4394} came {G5342} not {G3756} in old time {G4218} by the will {G2307} of man {G444}: but {G235} holy {G40} men {G444} of God {G2316} spake {G2980} as they were moved {G5342} by {G5259} the Holy {G40} Ghost {G4151}.

for never has a prophecy come as a result of human willing — on the contrary, people moved by the Ruach HaKodesh spoke a message from God.

For no such prophecy was ever brought forth by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
