Through Christ, he has given us the greatest and most precious promises, so that by these things you may become sharers in the Divine Nature, fleeing from the corruption of that desire which is in the world.

But as for you, taking up every concern, minister virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;

6

and in knowledge, moderation; and in moderation, patience; and in patience, piety;

7

and in piety, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.

8

For if these things are with you, and if they abound, they will cause you to be neither empty, nor without fruit, within the plan of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For he who does not have these things at hand is blind and groping, being forgetful of his purification from his former offenses.

Because of this, brothers, be all the more diligent, so that by good works you may make certain your calling and election. For in doing these things, you do not sin at any time.
