彼後 1:3-11
3 神的神能已將一切關乎生命和虔敬的事賜給我們，皆因我們認識那用自己榮耀和美德召我們的主。4 因此，他已將又寶貴又極大的應許賜給我們，叫我們既脫離世上從情慾來的敗壞，就得與神的性情有份。 5 正因這緣故，你們要分外地殷勤：有了信心，又要加上德行；有了德行，又要加上知識； 6 有了知識，又要加上節制；有了節制，又要加上忍耐；有了忍耐，又要加上虔敬； 7 有了虔敬，又要加上愛弟兄的心；有了愛弟兄的心，又要加上愛眾人的心。 8 你們若充充足足地有這幾樣，就必使你們在認識我們的主耶穌基督上，不至於閒懶不結果子了。 9 人若沒有這幾樣，就是眼瞎，只看見近處的，忘了他舊日的罪已經得了潔淨。 10 所以弟兄們，應當更加殷勤，使你們所蒙的恩召和揀選堅定不移。你們若行這幾樣，就永不失腳。 11 這樣，必叫你們豐豐富富地得以進入我們主救主耶穌基督永遠的國。
2 Peter 1:3-11
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that
pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by
glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and
precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.5 But
also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to
virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to
perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly
kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither
barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who
lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that
he was cleansed from his old sins.10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent
to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never
stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The book of 2 Peter is a letter Peter wrote to all the
apostles at that time when he foresaw his coming death for Jesus. Knowing the
danger of false doctrines, he wrote this letter to admonish the apostles to
stand fast on the truth, and to grow in knowledge and all discernment.
Thank the Lord that we can know Jesus and accept Him as our
Savior. Our faith in Him has provided us with all “things pertain to life and
godliness”. Thank the Lord for reminding us today through the passage that we
ought to “give all diligence” to make fruitful progress in our Christian living
- so we will not be led away by false teachings, but enter the everlasting
kingdom of God abundantly.
《彼得後書》是使徒彼得寫給所有信徒的書信，也是他預見自己即將為主殉道，所以，針對教會即將面臨異端攻擊的危機，特別提醒聖徒要堅守真道，並且要在各樣知識上長進。
感謝 神，使我們得以認識救主耶穌基督，進而保守我們有分於一切關乎生命和敬虔的事。感謝 神，藉經文提醒我們要分外殷勤，加上又加上，這樣我們才能不被假師傅所引進的異端所欺騙，也才能豐豐富富進入 神永遠的國。
