1:1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To those who have obtained a faith<\/mark> of equal standing with ours by the righteousness<\/mark> of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge<\/mark> of God and of Jesus our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 His divine power has granted<\/mark> to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, <\/p>\n\n\n\n through the knowledge<\/mark> of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 by which He has granted<\/mark> to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 For this very reason, make every effort<\/mark> to supplement your faith<\/mark> with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8 For if these qualities<\/mark> are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge<\/mark> of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 For whoever lacks these qualities<\/mark> is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent<\/mark> to confirm your calling<\/mark> and election<\/mark>, for if you practice these qualities<\/mark> you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided<\/mark> for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1:1 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 multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-93","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2-peter","tag-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=93"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":320,"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93\/revisions\/320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=93"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=93"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patternsinthebible.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=93"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
