2 Peter 1:3-11<br />His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. <br />Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.<br />For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. <br />For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. <br /><br />Ephesians 4:11-13<br /> So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, <br />the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.<br /><br />2 Timothy 3:16-17<br />All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God a may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiLMLpWacSQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiLMLpWacSQ</a>
