\v 4 Through these, he gave us precious and great promises. He did this so that you might be sharers in the divine nature, as you escape from the corruption that is in the world in wicked desires.

\v 5 For this same reason, do your best to gain virtue through your faith, and through your virtue, gain knowledge.

\s5
\v 8 If these things are in you and grow in you, you will not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
\v 9 But whoever lacks these things sees only what is near; he is blind. He has forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
\s5
\v 10 Therefore, brothers, do your best to make your calling and election sure for yourselves. If you do these things, you will not stumble.
\v 11 Thus an entrance will be richly granted to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
\s5
\p
\v 12 Therefore I will be ready always to remind you of these things, although you know them, and you are strong in the truth now.

\v 13 I think it is right for me to wake you up and to remind you about these things, as long as I am in this tent.
\v 14 For I know that soon I will remove my tent, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.
\v 15 I will do my best for you to always remember these things after my departure.
\s5
\v 16 For we did not follow cleverly invented myths when we told you about the power and the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
\v 17 He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice was borne to him from the Majestic Glory saying, "This is my Son, the beloved One, with whom I am well pleased."

\v 18 We heard this voice that came out of heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain.
\s5
\v 19 We have this prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to attend. It is like a lamp shining in a dark place until the morning comes and the morning star rises in your hearts.
\v 20 Know this first, that written prophecy does not come from the reasoning of the prophet himself.
\v 21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but by men carried along by the Holy Spirit who spoke from God.
