2 ^aGrace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

3 as His ^adivine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him ^bwho called us by glory and virtue,

4 ^aby which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be ^bpartakers of the divine nature, having escaped the¹ corruption that is in the world through lust.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith

5 But also for this very reason, ^agiving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue ^bknowledge,

6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control¹ perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
