* Simon Peter , a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ , to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ : * Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God , and of Jesus our Lord , * 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 . * And beside this , giving all diligence , add to your faith virtue ; and to virtue knowledge ; * And to knowledge temperance ; and to temperance patience ; and to patience godliness ; * And to godliness brotherly kindness ; and to brotherly kindness charity . * 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 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 . * 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 . * Yea , I think it meet , as long as I am in this tabernacle , to stir you up by putting you in remembrance ;
