3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:Select 2 Peter 1:3
4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.Select 2 Peter 1:4
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;Select 2 Peter 1:5
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;Select 2 Peter 1:6
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.Select 2 Peter 1:7
8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.Select 2 Peter 1:8
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.Select 2 Peter 1:9
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:Select 2 Peter 1:10
11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.Select 2 Peter 1:11
12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.Select 2 Peter 1:12
