2 Peter 1:2-4
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.

Jeremiah 1:5-10
New King James Version
5 “Before I (A)formed you in the womb (B)I knew you;
Before you were born I (C)sanctified[a] you;
I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I:
(D)“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And (E)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 (F)Do not be afraid of their faces,
For (G)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and (H)touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have (I)put My words in your mouth.
10 (J)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To (K)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”

Jeremiah 1:18-19
New King James Version
18 For behold, I have made you this day
(A)A fortified city and an iron pillar,
And bronze walls against the whole land—
Against the kings of Judah,
Against its princes,
Against its priests,
And against the people of the land.
19 They will fight against you,
But they shall not prevail against you.
For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”
