2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the
knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His
divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and
godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and
precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue,
to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control,
to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7
to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will
be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted,
even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to
make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never
stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to
you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. 2 Peter 1:2-5
