Lectio brevis (2 Petr 1, 19-21)
Habémus firmiórem prophéticum sermónem, cui bene fácitis attendéntes quasi lucérnæ lucénti in caliginóso loco, donec dies illucéscat et lúcifer oriátur in córdibus vestris, hoc primum intellegéntes quod omnis prophetía Scriptúræ própria interpretatióne non fit; non enim voluntáte humána proláta est prophetía aliquándo, sed a Spíritu Sancto ducti locúti sunt a Deo hómines.
And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
