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.
