May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

Growth in the Faith

His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,

knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness,

For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For if, having escaped the world’s impurity through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
