All things relating to life within and godliness without have already been given to us by the divine power.

[jidong xiao]

我们看过，恩典繁增，是因为或根据神的神能已将一切关于生命和敬虔的事赐给我们。生命是在里面叫我们活着，敬虔是在外面作我们内里生命的外在彰显。生命是内里的能力，内里的力量，产生外在的敬虔。一切关于内里生命和外在敬虔的事，已经藉着神的神能赐给我们。现在恩典必须照着这神圣能力的赐给而繁增。

除此以外，我们得了“又宝贵又极大的应许”。（4。）新约包含许多应许。藉着重生，我们得着神的生命和神的性情。不但如此，一切关于生命和敬虔的事，已藉着神的神能赐给我们。此外，我们也得着新约里的应许。我们乃是藉着这些应许，得有分于神的性情。

We have seen that grace is multiplied as, or according as, His divine power has granted to us all things which relate to life and godliness. Life is within for us to live, and godliness is without as the outward expression of the inward life. Life is the inward energy, inward strength, to bring forth the outward godliness. All things relating to life within and godliness without have already been given to us by the divine power. Now grace must be multiplied according to the giving of this divine power. 

In addition to this, we have been given "precious and exceedingly great promises" (v. 4). The New Testament contains many promises. Through regeneration, we have the divine life with the divine nature. Furthermore, all things pertaining to life and godliness have been given to us by the divine power. In addition. we have the promises in the New Testament. It is by these promises that we may become partakers of the divine nature.
