2 Peter 1

¹ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

² Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, ³ according as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue: ⁴ whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you all 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 you all shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ But he who lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has 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, you all shall never fall: ¹¹ for so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2

²⁰ For what glory is it, if, when you all are buffeted for your faults, you all shall take it patiently? but if, when you all do well, and suffer for it, you all take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²¹ For even hereto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you all  should follow his steps:

²² Who did no sin, neither was guile [deception] found in his mouth:

²³ Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:

²⁴ Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the [crucifixion] tree , that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you all were healed.

[The prophet] Isaiah 53

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

1 Peter 2:25

For you all were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

2 Corinthians 5

15 ' ... he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

19 To wit [understanding] that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

21 For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

1 John 2 

¹ My little children, these things write I to you, that you all sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

² And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 1 

¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

² (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew to you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

³ That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁴ And these things write we to you, that your joy may be full.

⁵ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do [practise] not the truth:

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
