2 Peter 1:3–10

³seeing that His ^adivine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the ^bfull knowledge of Him who ^ccalled us ¹by His own glory and ²excellence.

⁴¹For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent ^apromises, so that by them you may become ^bpartakers of the divine nature, having ^cescaped the ^dcorruption that is in ^ethe world by lust.

⁵Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith ^asupply ^bmoral ¹excellence, and in your moral excellence, ^cknowledge,

⁶and in your knowledge, ^aself-control, and in your self-control, ^bperseverance, and in your perseverance, ^cgodliness,

⁷and in your godliness, ^1abrotherly kindness, and in your ²brotherly kindness, ³love.

⁸For if these things are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor ^aunfruitful in the ^bfull knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹For in whom these things are not present, that one is ^ablind, being nearsighted, having ¹forgotten the ^bpurification from his former sins.

¹⁰Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your ^acalling and ^bchoosing sure; for in doing these things, you will never ^cstumble;
