³His^B divine power^f has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge^g of him who called^h us by^C his own glory and goodness. ⁴By these he has given us very great and precious promises,ⁱ so that through them you may share in the divine nature,^j escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire. ⁵For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, ⁶knowledge with self-control,^k self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, ⁷godliness with brotherly affection,^l and brotherly affection with love. ⁸For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless^m or unfruitfulⁿ in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins. ¹⁰Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election,^o because if you do these things you will never stumble.
