2 Peter 1:1-8 ▼

1 Simon Peter, servant and sent of Jesus Christ, to them having received by inheritance equally honoured faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 As his divine power having bestowed upon us all things which for life and devotion, by the knowledge of him having called us by glory and fitness:

4 (By which the greatest and precious promises are bestowed upon us: that by these ye might be having escaped from the corruption in the world through eager desires.)

5 And also this same, having brought in at the side all earnestness, furnish in addition in your faith fitness; and In fitness knowledge;

6 And in knowledge self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience devotion;

7 And in devotion brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love.

8 For these being to you, and abounding, they establish you not without effort, neither unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
