2 Peter 1:3

Greeting

² May blessing and peace be yours in ever-increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord. ³ For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness. ⁴ For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
