3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him ^fwho called us to¹ his own glory and excellence,² 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become ^gpartakers of the divine nature, ^hhaving escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

21 For ^kno prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^las they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
