mnt - 2Peter:1:3-11

mnt@2Peter:1:3 @ For his power divine has granted to us everything needful for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue.

mnt@2Peter:1:4 @ By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

mnt@2Peter:1:5 @ For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness, and to manliness knowledge,

mnt@2Peter:1:6 @ and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control stedfastness, and to stedfastness piety,

mnt@2Peter:1:7 @ and to piety brotherly love, and to brotherly love, love itself.

mnt@2Peter:1:8 @ For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@2Peter:1:9 @ For the man who lacks these virtues is blind, short-sighted, forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins.

mnt@2Peter:1:10 @ So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble.

mnt@2Peter:1:11 @ For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.
