“…which He has given us,that through it we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust.The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgement, but chiefly them that walk…” — editor's note: 2 Pet. ii. 9 sq.
