2 Peter 1:3-8

Revised Geneva Translation

³ His divine power has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the acknowledging of Him Who has called us to Glory and virtue;

⁴ by which most great and precious promises are given to us, so that by them you could be partakers of the divine nature (in that you flee the corruption which is in the world through lust).

⁵ Therefore, give all diligence to this. Moreover, join virtue with your faith; and with virtue, knowledge;

⁶ and with knowledge, temperance; and with temperance, patience; and with patience, godliness;

⁷ and with godliness, brotherly kindness; and with brotherly kindness, love.

⁸ For if these things are among you, and abound, they will cause you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ.
