Verse 3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
As his divine power has given us all things — There is a wonderful cheerfulness in this exordium, which begins with the exhortation itself.
That pertain to life and godliness — To the present, natural life, and to the continuance and increase of spiritual life. Through that divine knowledge of him - Of Christ.
Who hath called us by — His own glorious power, to eternal glory, as the end; by Christian virtue or fortitude, as the means.
