³God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and for godliness. This power was given to us through knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and integrity. ⁴Through his glory and integrity he has given us his promises that are of the highest value. Through these promises you will share in the divine nature because you have escaped the corruption that sinful desires cause in the world.

⁵Because of this, make every effort to add integrity to your faith; and to integrity add knowledge; ⁶to knowledge add self-control; to self-control add endurance; to endurance add godliness; ⁷to godliness add Christian affection; and to Christian affection add love. ⁸If you have these qualities and they are increasing, it demonstrates that your knowledge about our Lord Jesus Christ is living and productive. ⁹If these qualities aren’t present in your life, you’re shortsighted and have forgotten that you were cleansed from your past sins. ¹⁰Therefore, brothers and sisters, use more effort to make God’s calling and choosing of you secure.

If you keep doing this, you will never fall away.
