II Peter 1:2-4
Excerpted from: Proverbs 31 and the Wife of Christ

Virtue here is the Greek word arete. It means excellent, intrinsic, or attributed, praise, virtue, moral excellency, perfection, goodness of action. God looks at us as partakers of Christ's own glory, moral excellency, and goodness of action. It is all through Him, and this is what God sees in the virtuous wife of great price, Christ's own glory and excellence.
