³ for His ^(A)divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true ^(B)knowledge of Him who ^(C)called us ^[a]by His own glory and ^[b]excellence. ⁴ Through ^[c]these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent ^(D)promises, so that by them you may become ^(E)partakers of the divine nature, having ^(F)escaped the ^(G)corruption that is in ^(H)the world on account of lust. ⁵ Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith ^(I)supply ^(J)moral ^[d]excellence, and in your moral excellence, ^(K)knowledge, ⁶ and in your knowledge, ^(L)self-control, and in your self-control, ^(M)perseverance, and in your perseverance, ^(N)godliness, ⁷ and in your godliness, ^(O)brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor ^(P)unproductive in the true ^(Q)knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the one who lacks these qualities is ^(R)blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his ^(S)purification from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make certain about His ^(T)calling and ^(U)choice of you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never ^(V)stumble; ¹¹ for in this way the entrance into ^(W)the eternal kingdom of our ^(X)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be ^(Y)abundantly ^(Z)supplied to you.
