2 Peter 1:1 To you who, through God's righteousness and our savior Jesus Christ, you have obtained our shared belief
in Bible teaching, a belief invaluable to us. From Simon nicknamed foundation , both slave of Christ and the one sent to lead
you by Jesus Christ. 1:2 In abundant mercy God spare you and bless you, God reconcile with you, welcome you: through your understanding and
believing the Bible's teaching about God and about our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 1:3 God's great power give you everything you need to have an abundant life and Godly Power, built upon testing, as your
belief grows through the Bible teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ Who called you to glory and love from a pure heart.
1:4 By which Bible Teaching great and invaluable Bible promises are given to us, by which Bible Promises we can be partakers
of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the kosmos diabolicus through lust. 1:5 Aside from all
the aforementioned virtues, add to your believed in Bible Teaching, love from a pure mentality; and to love from a pure heart,
understanding of the principles and categories of Bible teaching; 1:6 and to understanding the principles and categories of
Bible teaching, add temperance/self-control, a nine-fold fruit of th spirit; and to temperance/self-control, add perseverance
developed at gate 11; to perseverance developed at gate 11, add Godly Power built up through testing; 1:7 To Godly Power built
up through testing, add brotherly kindness; to brotherly kindness, add love. 1:8 If these virtues are yours they produce in
you neither uselessness nor un-productivity in the Bible doctrine about Jesus Christ I have taught and you have believed.
1:9 Whoever lacks these virtues is both blind and shortsighted in Bible teaching. Such a darkened soul has even forgotten
about his cleansing from past sins. 1:10 Therefore, my beloved brethren, Make every effort to display, for the purpose of
evaluation and approval, both your election/appointment into God's privileged kingdom and your special function within the
body of Christ. In the function of these virtues in your spiritual gift and office you will not stumble, never tire, falter
nor fail. 1:11 In this way your entry into our fellowship of subjects of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's eternal Kingdom will
be abundantly welcomed to you. 1:12 Wherefore I, Peter, will not be found to be negligent in the matter of putting you in
remembrance of these doctrines, even though you know them and are established in these New Testament Doctrines pertaining
to this present time. 1:13 I positively believe that now is the time, as long as I am in this earthly tent of flesh and bones,
to stimulate and stir you up for the fight, by putting you in remembrance of these New Testament Doctrines; 1:14 I am aware
that I will soon put off this earthly tent of flesh and bones, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. 1:15 Moreover I
make it my business objective tha t after my decease you will have the New Testament Doctines at the top of your memory center.
