2 Peter 1:4-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

^4 [a]For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent ^(A)promises, so that by them you may become ^(B)partakers of the divine nature, having ^(C)escaped the ^(D)corruption that is in ^(E)the world by lust. ⁵ Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith ^(F)supply ^(G)moral ^[b]excellence, and in your moral excellence, ^(H)knowledge, ⁶ and in your knowledge, ^(I)self-control, and in your self-control, ^(J)perseverance, and in your perseverance, ^(K)godliness, ⁷ and in your godliness, ^(L)brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. ⁸ For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor ^(M)unfruitful in the true ^(N)knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
