By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3

“Walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory. Count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus; for God has given us everything we need for living a godly life; knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly affection, love, and kindness. Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things and continue to grow in them, you will never stumble; they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
