Simon Peter,
servant and
an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to them that have obtained like
precious faith with us through the
righteousness of God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ:
(2 Peter 1:1)
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great
and precious promises: that by these
ye might be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world
through lust.
(2 Peter 1:4)
