2 Peter 1:1-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Greeting
1 Simeon[a] Peter,(A) a slave and an apostle(B) of Jesus Christ:
To those who have obtained a faith of equal privilege with ours[b] through the righteousness(C) of our God and Savior(D) Jesus Christ.
2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God(E) and of Jesus our Lord.
Growth in the Faith
3 His[c] divine power(F) has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge(G) of Him who called(H) us by[d] 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 desires.
