2 Peter 1:21
World English Bible (WEB)
For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
In context
19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
