Epignosis – 2 Peter 1:1-4

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious (of equal honor and estimation) faith (believing) with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2 Grace (God’s loving disposition) and peace (the state of undisturbed well being) be multiplied (make you full) unto you through (through the instrument of) the knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed its advice) of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as (on the ground that) his divine (godly) power (inherent power: power of reproducing itself) hath (are) given unto us (as to) all things that pertain unto (for) life and godliness, through (with the purpose of) the knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed its advice) of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby (by which) are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be (become) partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (sinful desire)
