 Eternal life is a life that enjoys God, and is suited to God, and godliness is a character that is like God in all its ways down here, a moral likeness to Him. (Partakers of the Divine Nature by W.T.P. Wolston)
 What is our calling? God has called us to glory. We are called to heaven in the first chapter of the 1st Epistle, and here Peter says the God of glory has come out and called us....Glory is the end of the road, and what is to mark us by the way? Virtue, or spiritual energy on the road, of which glory is the end. (Partakers of the Divine Nature by W.T.P. Wolston)
 We have here the call of God to pursue glory as our object, gaining the victory by virtue-spiritual courage-over all the enemies that we find in our path. (2 Peter 1 by J.N. Darby)
 Verse 3 and the first part of verse 4 speak of things which are given by the power of God to each and every believer. (2 Peter 1 by F.B. Hole)
 A few moments’ reflection might serve to remind us of some of the gifts that divine power has conferred upon us: — the Holy Spirit indwelling us, the Word of God written for us, the throne of Grace opened to us, to name but three. We have received however, not some but ALL things that have to do with life and godliness. (2 Peter 1 by F.B. Hole)

As his divine power hath granted to us all things that [are] for life and godliness through the knowledge of him that called us by his owna glory and excellence,

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Some MSS. support the reading "through glory and excellence," as in the T. R. But other good witnesses warrant what is here given, "by his own glory and excellence." In meaning the only difference that results is that the more ancient text adds "His own," but in any case it is "by," not "to."
