For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of {Or, a}the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
