2 Peter 1:2-10

2 1GraceG5485 and peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129 to you in 2the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316 and of JesusG2424 our LordG2962;

3seeingG5613 that His 3divineG2304 powerG1411 has grantedG1433 to us everythingG3956 pertainingG4314 to lifeG2222 and godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the trueG1922 4knowledgeG1922 of Him who 5calledG2564 us 6by His ownG2398 gloryG1391 and 7excellenceG703.

4 8For by theseG3739 He has grantedG1433 to us His preciousG5093 and magnificentG3176 9promisesG1862, soG2443 that by them you may becomeG1096 10partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having 11escapedG668 the 12corruptionG5356 that is in 13the worldG2889 by lustG1939.

5NowG1161 for thisG3778 veryG846 reason alsoG2532, applyingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, in your faithG4102 14supplyG2023 15moralG703 16excellenceG703, and in your moralG703 excellenceG703, 17knowledgeG1108,

6and in your knowledgeG1108, 18self-controlG1466, and in your self-controlG1466, 19perseveranceG5281, and in your perseveranceG5281, 20godlinessG2150,

7and in your godlinessG2150, 21brotherlyG5360 kindnessG5360, and in your brotherlyG5360 kindnessG5360, loveG26.

8For if theseG3778 qualities are yoursG4771 and are increasingG4121, they renderG2525 you neitherG3756 uselessG692 norG3761 22unfruitfulG175 in the trueG1922 23knowledgeG1922 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

9For he whoG3739 lacksG3361 G3918 theseG3778 qualities is 24blindG5185 or short-sightedG3467, having forgottenG2983 G3024 his 25purificationG2512 from his formerG3819 sinsG266.

10ThereforeG1352, brethrenG80, be allG3123 the moreG3123 diligentG4704 to makeG4160 certainG949 about His 26callingG2821 and 27choosingG1589 you; for as long as you practiceG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778, you will neverG3756 G3361 G4218 28stumbleG4417;
