Becoming increasingly partakers of the divine nature and thereby escaping the evils of the world's corruption and lusts is among those very great and precious promises given to us through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord, says Simon Peter, a disciple and apostle of Jesus Christ in, 2 Peter 1: 1-8. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…
The foundation stone faith. To faith is added virtue. These two alone have brought our African American people, our forebears, especially, a mighty long way.
Then to faith and virtue is added knowledge and to knowledge self-control. How terrible a waste for a person with knowledge to waste it, by lack of self-control.
Then, following knowledge and self-control comes perseverance, "stick-to-it-iveness" or patience, yielding godliness or nearness to perfection, but not completion.
Perfection is attained through brotherly kindness and love, which are the proof of the above.
For if these things are yours, and abound in you, that is continually grow through their application to life, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, demonstratively. Amen.
