His divine power has granted,
For all things that pertain to life;
Stop being so disenchanted,
Which has been causing you much strife.

Through the knowledge of Him who called,
To His glory and excellence;
Making faith to grow as enthralled,
That builds tolerance and patience.

He granted precious and promise,
So that you may be partakers;
Escaping upon the premise,
Never for being forsakers.

Partakers of divine nature.
Escaping from the corruption;
For making you a new creation,
Stopping of sinful disruption.

Supplement your faith with virtue,
Virtue with knowledge and wisdom;
That you are able to construe,
Enlighten you on His Kingdom.

It gives knowledge with self-control,
Self-control with a steadfastness;
Strengthening effect of your soul,
Through steadfastness with godliness.

It gives brotherly affection,
Brotherly affection with love;
Enduring any affliction,
Coming from earthly things thereof.

For if these things would be in you,
From being as ineffective;
Unfruitful if not to be true,
If kept a godly perspective.

Whoever lacks these qualities,
Are so nearsighted being blind;
Never having the abilities,
Understanding within the mind.

Be more diligent to confirm,
For your calling and election;
With practicing for the long-term,
Qualities of this selection.

Give diligence to your calling,
And He makes every effort;
While keeping you from falling,
And that you will never revert.
