4 6For by theseG3739 He has grantedG1433 to us His preciousG5093 and magnificentG3176 7promisesG1862, soG2443 that by them you may becomeG1096 8partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having 9escapedG668 the 10corruptionG5356 that is in 11the worldG2889 by lustG1939.

5NowG1161 for thisG3778 veryG846 reason alsoG2532, applyingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, in your faithG4102 12supplyG2023 13moralG703 14excellenceG703, and in your moralG703 excellenceG703, 15knowledgeG1108,
