Like Precious Faith

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)
