2 Peter 1:1 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

2 Peter 1:2 Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord!

2 Peter 1:3 As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,

2 Peter 1:4 through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "divine", "power", "pertaining", "life", "piety", and "hath". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "divine", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 2's "Grace to you and peace be multiplied..." into verse 4's "through which to us the most great...", so "all things" and "divine" 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 "all things" and "divine" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
