2 Peter 1:3-11 KJV Bible Apostle Peter said, 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: 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(evil passions). And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue(goodness, righteousness, morality, integrity); and to virtue knowledge(the undefiled truth of Jesus) ; And to knowledge temperance(abstinence, self-restraint) ; and to temperance patience(quick to listen slow to anger; and to patience godliness(righteousness); And to godliness(devoted to Jesus, His way, not your way) brotherly kindness(love your neighbor by planting a seed); and to brotherly kindness charity(assisting those truly in need, not the slothful). 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. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election( the chosen of the Lord) sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
