2 Pet 1:1 (NIV) Simon
Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God
and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as
precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be yours
in abundance through the knowledge of God and
of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has given
us everything we need for life and
godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by
his own glory and goodness.
