2 Peter 1:2-8

New King James Version

^2 (A)Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, ³ as His ^(B)divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him ^(C)who called us by glory and virtue, ^4 (D)by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be ^(E)partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the ^[a]corruption that is in the world through lust.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith

⁵ But also for this very reason, ^(F)giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue ^(G)knowledge, ⁶ to knowledge self-control, to self-control ^[b]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, ⁷ to godliness brotherly kindness, and ^(H)to brotherly kindness love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither ^[c]barren ^(I)nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
