2 Peter 1:3-15
Partakers of the Divine Nature

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

3:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

4:

5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

5:

6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

6:

7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

7:

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8:

9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

9:

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

10:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

11:

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and be established in the present truth.

12:

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;

13:

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

14:

15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

15:
