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.
8 Car si ces choses sont en vous, et y sont avec abondance, elles ne vous laisseront point oisifs ni stériles pour la connaissance de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
