God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness

2 Peter 1:1-11 (Complete Jewish Bible)



1From: Shim'on Kefa, a slave and emissary of Yeshua the Messiah To: Those who, through the righteousness of our God and of our Deliverer Yeshua the Messiah, have been given the same kind of trust as ours:2May grace and shalom be yours in full measure, as you come to a full knowledge of God and Yeshua our Lord.3God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowing the One who called us to his own glory and goodness.4By these he has given us valuable and superlatively great promises, so that through them you might come to share in God's nature and escape the corruption which evil desires have brought into the world.5For this very reason, try your hardest to furnish your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,6knowledge with self-control, self-control with perseverance, perseverance with godliness,7godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.8For if you have these qualities in abundance, they keep you from being barren and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.9Indeed, whoever lacks them is blind, so shortsighted that he forgets that his past sins have been washed away.10Therefore, brothers, try even harder to make your being called and chosen a certainty. For if you keep doing this, you will never stumble.11Thus you will be generously supplied with everything you need to enter the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah.
