II Peter 1:1-10 Excerpted from God's Spiritual House

We have been called by glory and virtue. Can we consider what Peter lists here as building blocks, a materials list? Add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, and on and on the list goes. And if we do these things, we will never stumble. "Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord, as His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness." All things that pertain to life and true life and godliness.
