2 Peter 1:4-9
-
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
-
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
-
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
-
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
-
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
