I Peter 2 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises 703 of him,
who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

II Peter 1 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue 703:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 ¶ And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue 703;
and to virtue 703 knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be barren
 nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off,
 and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren,
 give diligence to make your calling and election sure:
 for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly
 into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with God.
Arise, shine;
 for thy light is come,
and the glory of the LORD
is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1
