2Pet 1, 1-2 May grace and peace be yours

2 Letter of Peter
2Peter 1
(2Pet 1, 1-2) May grace and peace be yours
[1] Symeon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of equal value to ours through the righteousness of our God and savior Jesus Christ: [2] may grace and peace be yours in abundance through knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
(CCC 1996) Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life (Cf. Jn 1:12-18; 17:3; Rom 8:14-17; 2 Pet 1:3-4).
