2. I pray that God will be kind to you and will let you live in perfect peace! May you keep learning more and more about God and our Lord Jesus.
3. We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learnt that he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness.
4. God made great and marvellous promises, so that his nature would become part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt influences of this world.
5. Do your best to improve your faith. You can do this by adding goodness, understanding,
6. self-control, patience, devotion to God,
7. concern for others, and love.
8. If you keep growing in this way, it will show that what you know about our Lord Jesus Christ has made your lives useful and meaningful.
