Lord’s Day 12/3
2 Peter 1:3-11
3Seeing that His divine power has granted to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the full knowledge of Him who has called us by His own glory and virtue,
4Through which He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption which is in the world by lust.
5And for this very reason also, adding all diligence, supply bountifully in your faith virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
6And in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, endurance; and in endurance, godliness;
7And in godliness, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, love.
8For these things, existing in you and abounding, constitute you neither idle nor unfruitful unto the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being shortsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his past sins.
10Therefore, brothers, be the more diligent to make your calling and selection firm, for doing these things you shall by no means ever stumble.
11For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly and bountifully supplied to you.
