2 Peter 1:5
Compare all
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,  
7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and ato brotherly kindness love.  
8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither1 barren anor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
9 For he who lacks these things is ashortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.  
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent ato make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;  
11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Peter’s Approaching Death

12 For this reason aI will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, bthough you know and are established in the present truth.  
13 Yes, I think it is right, aas long as I am in this tent, bto stir you up by reminding you,  
14 aknowing that shortly I must1 put off my tent, just as bour Lord Jesus Christ showed me.  
15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my1 decease.  

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

16 For we did not follow acunningly devised fables when we made known to you the bpower and ccoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were deyewitnesses of His majesty.  
17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: a“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  
18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on athe holy mountain.
