| | | 3) | According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: |
4) | Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. |
5) | And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; |
6) | And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; |
7) | And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. |
8) | For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
9) | But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. |
10) | Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: |
11) | For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. |

| 7) | In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, |
8) | Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. |
12) | Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; |
13) | Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; |
|
|
|
| 13) | With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. |
|
|
|
| 7) | The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. |
|
|
|
| 10) | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. |
