2 Peter 1:3-4

Contemporary English Version

Living as the Lord's Followers

³ We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learned he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness. ⁴ God made great and marvelous promises, so his nature would become part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world.
