“Divine” - from God

Three areas Peter uses the word precious:
Christian faith
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
b. Christ’s blood
but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
c. Christ’s promises
“divine nature” - God’s nature implanted on us in salvation
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
“add” - chorus, choreograph, choreography
Dancing with the Stars
Offensive football play
FAITH is the beginning of this entire list because it starts our relationship with Christ
KNOWLEDGE - through the Holy Spirit and the Word
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
SELF-CONTROL - having one’s passions under control
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
PERSEVERANCE - steadfast under pressure; no give up or giving in
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
GODLINESS - obligation of reverence for God
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives

2nd two are for others
MUTUAL AFFECTION - fervent, practical caring for others
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
LOVE - desiring the highest good for others
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
