Bible answers literally built on Scripture
Unlike every single ‘Bible answer’ site you’ll find, we shape our Bible answers exclusively from Scripture, not endless commentary or opinion. That’s why we say these are answers literally built on Scripture.
Spiritual answers for the seeker and saved alike.
2 Peter 1:3-4
What is written?
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
What does it say?
God’s divine power has given us everything we need to live and become godly. We receive these things by knowing the One who called us to share in his own glory and moral excellence. By trusting in His many great promises, we share in God’s nature and escape the moral corruption that fills the world because of sinful desires.
Immediate context
Peter’s second letter, like his first, still encourages the faithful to remain so while focusing on the peril of false teaching. In this opening of his second letter, Peter goes on to list several qualities (virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love) that they should make “every effort” to add to their faith. In fact, they must be added and “increasing” (vs 8). “For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.” (vs 9)

Bible study can be challenging, but it shouldn’t be hard. God has revealed His will for us, “the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.” (Colossians 1:26)
