³ His^[b] divine power^(F) has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge^(G) of him who called^(H) us by^[c] his own glory and goodness. ⁴ By these he has given us very great and precious promises,^(I) so that through them you may share in the divine nature,^(J) escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.
