3 Comme sa divine puissance nous a donné tout ce qui contribue à la vie et à la piété, au moyen de la connaissance de celui qui nous a appelés par sa propre gloire et par sa vertu,
4 lesquelles nous assurent de sa part les plus grandes et les plus précieuses promesses, afin que par elles vous deveniez participants de la nature divine, en fuyant la corruption qui existe dans le monde par la convoitise,
5 à cause de cela même, faites tous vos efforts pour joindre à votre foi la vertu, à la vertu la science,
6 à la science la tempérance, à la tempérance la patience, à la patience la piété,
7 à la piété l’amour fraternel, à l’amour fraternel la charité.
