EJ2000(i)
3 as all things that pertain to life and to godliness are given us of his divine power, through the knowledge of him that has called us by his glory and virtue,
4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these ye might be made participants of the divine nature, having fled the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 ¶ Ye also, giving all diligence to the same, show forth virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 and in knowledge, temperance; and in temperance, patience; and in patience, fear of God;
7 and in fear of God, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, charity.
8 For if these things are in you and abound, they shall not let you be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacks these things is blind and walks feeling the way with his hand, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, give all the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, ye shall never fall.
