Simon
Peter, a servant and apostle (special messenger) of Jesus Christ,
To
those who have received (obtained an equal privilege of)
LIKE
PRECIOUS FAITH with ourselves
In and through the Righteousness of our
God and Savior Jesus Christ:
May
grace (God's favor) and peace,
(Which is perfect well-being, all
necessary good, all spiritual prosperity
And freedom from fears and
agitating passions and moral conflicts)
Be multiplied to you
In (the
full, personal, precise and correct) knowledge of God
And of Jesus
our Lord.
For
His Divine Power has bestowed upon us all things
That [are requisite
and suited] to life and godliness,
Through the (full, personal)
knowledge of him Who called us
By and to His Own Glory and excellence
(virtue).
By
means of these He has bestowed on us
His precious and exceedingly
Great Promises,
So that THROUGH THEM you may ESCAPE (by flight)
From
the Moral Decay (rottenness and corruption)
That is in the World
because of covetousness (lust and greed),
And become sharers of the
Divine Nature. (2 Peter 1:1-4, AMP)
