Unpacking 2 Peter 1:3-15:

† Peter’s Reminder,

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness…”

“Supplement your faith with …”

† Virtue

† Knowledge


† Self-control

† Steadfastness

† Godliness

† Brotherly affection

† Love

“8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.”
