61:001:002 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
61:001:003 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:
61:001:004 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.
61:001:005 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
61:001:006 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
61:001:007 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
61:001:008 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.
61:001:009 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
