2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 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.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Psalm:92-12-14: The righteous shall flourish like the 🌴palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon: Those that be planted in the house 🏠 of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God: They shall still bring forth FRUIT in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing: Plants 🪴 need the good soil of God’s Word: Light, Water and Nourishment to sustain the heat,cold,wind,rain and storms. Some plants are quick crops, but still need the same care. Others take a longer time, the roots have to go deeper. God plants, waters 💧 prunes to bring forth FRUIT, even in old age, the FRUIT is even sweeter: Example The FRUIT of the HOLY SPIRIT: FAVORED to be FRUITFUL: Blessed by the Message:
