2 Peter 1:2-10

2 1GraceG5485 and peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129 to you in 2the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316 and of JesusG2424 3our LordG2962,

3for His 4divineG2304 powerG1411 has grantedG1433 to us everythingG3956 pertainingG4314 to lifeG2222 and godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the trueG1922 5knowledgeG1922 of Him who 6calledG2564 us 7by His ownG2398 gloryG1391 and 8excellenceG703.

4Through 9theseG3739 He has grantedG1433 to us His preciousG5093 and magnificentG3176 10promisesG1862, soG2443 thatG2443 by them you may becomeG1096 11partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having 12escapedG668 the 13corruptionG5356 that is in 14the worldG2889 onG1722 accountG1722 ofG1722 lustG1939.

5NowG1161 for thisG3778 veryG846 reason alsoG2532, applyingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, in your faithG4102 15supplyG2023 16moralG703 17excellenceG703, and in your moralG703 excellenceG703, 18knowledgeG1108,

6and in your knowledgeG1108, 19self-controlG1466, and in your self-controlG1466, 20perseveranceG5281, and in your perseveranceG5281, 21godlinessG2150,

7and in your godlinessG2150, 22brotherlyG5360 kindnessG5360, and in your brotherlyG5360 kindnessG5360, loveG26.

8For if theseG3778 qualities are yoursG4771 and are increasingG4121, they do not makeG2525 you uselessG692 norG3761 23unproductiveG175 in the trueG1922 24knowledgeG1922 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

9For the one whoG3739 lacksG3361 G3918 theseG3778 qualities is 25blindG5185 or short-sightedG3467, having forgottenG2983 G3024 his 26purificationG2512 from his formerG3819 sinsG266.

10ThereforeG1352, brothersG80 and sisters, be allG3123 theG3123 moreG3123 diligentG4704 to makeG4160 certainG949 about His 27callingG2821 and 28choiceG1589 of you; for as long as you practiceG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778, you will neverG3756 G3361 G4218 29stumbleG4417;
