2 Peter 1:4-9

4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become ^cpartakers of the divine nature, ^dhaving escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith ^ewith virtue, ^{▼▼Or excellence; twice in this verse} and virtue ^gwith knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control ^hwith steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness ⁱwith brotherly affection, and brotherly affection ^jwith love. 8 For if these qualities ^{▼▼Greek these things; also verses 9, 10, 12} are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or ^lunfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he ^mis blind, having forgotten that he was ⁿcleansed from his former sins.
