GRACE AND PEACE BE YOURS IN ABUNDANCE THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND OF JESUS OUR LORD:
His DIVINE POWER (GODS WORD) has GIVEN ME EVERTHING I NEED for LIFE and GODLINESS through MY knowledge of GOD who CALLED ME by HIS own GLORY and GOODNESS. Through THESE, GOD has GIVEN ME HIS VERY GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES, so that through them I MAY PARTICIPATE in the DIVINE NATURE
( SPIRITUAL NATURE) and ESCAPE the CORRUPTION in the WORLD CAUSED by EVIL DESIRES (SINS).
For this very REASON,(I) make every EFFORT to add to MY FAITH GOODNESS; and to GOODNESS, KNOWLEDGE; and to KNOWLEDGE, (INNER) SELFCONTROL; and to (INNER) SELFCONTROL, PERSEVERANCE; and to PERSEVERANCE, GODLINESS; and to GODLINESS, BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to BROTHERLY KINDNESS, LOVE. For if I POSSESS THESE QUALITIES in INCREASING MEASURE, they will KEEP ME from being INEFFECTIVE and UNPRODUCTIVE in MY KNOWLEDGE of MY LORD JESUS CHRIST. But if ANYONE does not have them, HE is NEARSIGHTED and BLIND, and has FORGOTTEN that HE has been CLEANSED from HIS past SINS. AMEN!
