Study Lenses
The verse centers on "grace", "peace", "accomplished", "knowledge", "christ", "jesus", and "lord". It is saying that salvation is received as God's gift through faith, so boasting is pushed out by the wording itself.
The nearby context moves from verse 1's "Simon Peter servant and apostle of Jesus..." into verse 3's "As all things of his divine power...", so "grace" and "peace" belong inside that flow. In 2 Peter context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "grace" and "peace" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
