2 Peter 1:4-11 — Legacy Standard Bible

⁴¹For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent ^apromises, so that by them you may become ^bpartakers of the divine nature, having ^cescaped the ^dcorruption that is in ^ethe world by lust. ⁵Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith ^asupply ^bmoral ¹excellence, and in your moral excellence, ^cknowledge, ⁶and in your knowledge, ^aself-control, and in your self-control, ^bperseverance, and in your perseverance, ^cgodliness, ⁷and in your godliness, ¹^,^abrotherly kindness, and in your ²brotherly kindness, ³love. ⁸For if these things are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor ^aunfruitful in the ^bfull knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹For in whom these things are not present, that one is ^ablind, being nearsighted, having ¹forgotten the ^bpurification from his former sins. ¹⁰Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your ^acalling and ^bchoosing sure; for in doing these things, you will never ^cstumble; ¹¹for in this way the entrance into ^athe eternal kingdom of our ^bLord and Savior Jesus Christ will be ^cabundantly ^dsupplied to you.
