2 Peter 1

1:2 Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

1:3 seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

1:5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

1:6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;

1:7 and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

1:8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1:9 For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

1:10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

1:11 For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

1:13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

1:14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

1:15 Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

1:18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

1:19 We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
