People's Commentary (NT)
II Peter 1:5 And beside this. "Yea, and for this very cause" (Revised Version). Because God has called you with precious promises. What God has done calls on us to do our part. Giving all diligence. "Adding on your part all diligence" (Revised Version). No exertion must be spared. There must be the fullest co-operation with God. Add to your faith virtue. "In your faith supply virtue" (Revised Version). The Common Version is wrong. Faith is the basis of the Christian life and all are expected to possess it, but out of it must grow other excellencies. And to virtue. "And in [your virtue]" (Revised Version). Moral courage, the natural fruit of a trusting faith in God. Knowledge. The moral heroism must be guided by knowledge or it will run into "a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge" (Romans 10:2).
