2 Peter 1:3-9

Haweis(i) 3 as his divine power hath freely given us all things tending to life and godliness, through the acknowledgment of him who hath called us to glory and fortitude: 4 whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.— 5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence; 6 and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety; 7 and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love. 8 For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
