2 Peter 1 1-8

 a paraphrased ‘enter the story’

 🍃🕊️  reading & study  🕊️🍃

05/20 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

(This letter is from) 1 - Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. To those who have obtained a faith - of equal standing with ours - by the righteousness of our god and savior Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and peace be plentiful toward you in the knowing of God and of Jesus our Lord.

     3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life, through the true knowledge of he who called us by his own glory and excellence. 4 By which he has granted to us his priceless and very great promises, so that through them we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the world’s corruption [phthora - corruption, destruction, decay, decomposition, dissolution]. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith, virtue [areté - goodness, virtue] and to goodness add knowledge, 6 and to knowledge, self-control, and to self-control, steadfastness, and to steadfastness add godliness, 7 and to godliness add brotherly/genuine affection, and to brotherly affection add love. 8 For if these qualities are yours, and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective, or unfruitful, in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.
