His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.  Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.    For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;  and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;  and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.  For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.    Therefore, my brothers and sisters,  make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,  and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:3-11 NIV)

Romans 6:1-7

So do you think we should continue sinning so that God will give us more and more grace?  Of course not! Our old sinful life ended. It’s dead. So how can we continue living in sin?  Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ Jesus when we were baptized? In our baptism we shared in his death.  So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and took part in his death. And just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father, so we can now live a new life.     Christ died, and we have been joined with him by dying too. So we will also be joined with him by rising from death as he did.  We know that our old life was put to death on the cross with Christ. This happened so that our sinful selves would have no power over us. Then we would not be slaves to sin.  Anyone who has died is made free from sin’s control. (Romans 6:1-7 ERV)
