<span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/2_peter/1-4.htm#aramaic"><b>4</b></a></span>Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/2_peter/1-5.htm#aramaic"><b>5</b></a></span>And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/2_peter/1-6.htm#aramaic"><b>6</b></a></span>And to knowledge, self-control; and to selfcontrol, patience; and to patience; godliness;
