New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
4
Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of
the
divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust.
5
Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in
your
moral excellence, knowledge,
6
and in
your
knowledge, self-control, and in
your
self-control, perseverance, and in
your
perseverance, godliness,
7
and in
your
godliness, brotherly kindness, and in
your
brotherly kindness, love.
8
For if these
qualities
are yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor unproductive in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
For the one who lacks these
qualities
is blind
or
short-sighted, having forgotten
his
purification from his former sins.
10
Therefore, brothers
and sisters,
be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choice of you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;
11
for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.
King James Version
Chapter 1
4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
4
By these he has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.
5
For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,
6
knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness,
7
godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
8
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins.
10
Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble.
11
For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
4
And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
5
In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,
6
and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,
7
and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
8
The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.
10
So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away.
11
Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
4
by which he has granted 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.
5
For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith 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.
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 Christ.
9
For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
10
Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.
11
For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
New International Version
Chapter 1
4
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
8
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
10
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
11
and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
4
by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is
in the world through lust.
5

6
to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
7
to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
8
For if these things are yours and abound,
you
will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
11
for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
