3 As all things pertaining to life and godliness have been given to us by his divine power, through the knowledge of him who called us by his glory and excellence,
4 by means of which he has given us great and precious promises, so that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having fled from the corruption that is in the world through lust;
5 you also, doing all diligence for this very reason, add virtue to your faith; to virtue, knowledge;
6 to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, patience; to patience, mercy;
7 to piety, brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection, love.
