2 Favour unto you, and peace, be multiplied, in the personal knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

3 As, all things, suited for life and godliness his divine power, unto us, hath given, through the personal knowledge of him that hath called us through glory and excellence,

4 Through which, his precious, and very great, promises, have, unto us, been given, in order that, through these, ye might become sharers in a divine nature escaping the corruption that is in the world by coveting.
