Through these you may become partakers of the divine nature. You will escape from the corruption that is in the lust-filled world. 5 Yes, for this very reason you do your part with all diligence. Supply virtue to your faith. Add knowledge to your virtue. 6 Include self-control with your knowledge. Supply patience to your self-control. Your patience should be helped by godliness. 7 Add brotherly kindness to your godliness. And to your brotherly kindness add love.
