 20Entendiendo primero esto, que ninguna profecía de la Escritura es de particular interpretación;
 21Porque la profecía no fué en los tiempos pasados traída por voluntad humana, sino los santos hombres de Dios hablaron siendo inspirados del Espíritu Santo. (2 P. 1:19‑21)
• The expression, “Have not I written to thee excellent things,” is a peculiar one. In the original, it is literally “have I not set them before thee in three ways” or, “a third time.” This is evidently in a superlative degree. “The excellent things in counsel and knowledge” are things of the highest value, beyond mere human wisdom. It is God Himself marking out the safe and right way in which His children should walk. (“Proverbs Twenty-Two” by H.A. Ironside)
