By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this
Supplement your faith with a generous provision of
moral excellence, and moral excellence with
knowledge, and knowledge with
self-control, and self-control with
patient endurance, and patient endurance with
godliness, and godliness with
brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with
love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins. So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen.
Do these things, and you will never fall away. - 2 Peter 1:3-10
by coming to know Him, the One who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. And because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires. In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises.
