1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you
through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
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:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. CLICK HERE FOR PREVIOUS 14 June Sunday school Teachers

5 And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to
temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and
abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. CLICK HERE FOR PREVIOUS 21 June Sunday school Students

9 But he that lacketh these things is
blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his
old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye
shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be
ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. CLICK HERE FOR PREVIOUS 28 June Sunday school Students

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to
put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be
established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this
tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my
tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after
my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
Acts 21:8-10;
8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
