2 Peter 1:3-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

3 For His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

4 By these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,

6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness,

7 godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins.

10 Therefore, brothers, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble.

11 For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

12 Therefore I will always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you have.

13 I consider it right, as long as I am in this tent, to wake you up with a reminder,

14 knowing that I will soon lay aside my tent, as our Lord Jesus Christ has also shown me.

15 And I will also make every effort that after my departure you may be able to recall these things at any time.

New International Version NIV

3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.

13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,

14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
