Interpretive paraphrase –
God will give those who know Him and His word, who love Him and who call on Him; so many proofs of His care and security that He bestows on them, that they will be super impressed how wonderfully God can deliver in all needs of body and soul, just be cognizant and trust it, it will happen.

Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours [bel in JC], by the integrity [+R + J] of our God [deity] and Savior [humanity], Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and [mental] prosperity [RMA] be multiplied to you by means of the [epignosis] knowledge of God[/F] and of Jesus our Lord;
2 Peter 1:3 [how? ->] seeing that His divine power [Omnipotence] has graciously been given to us everything pertaining to this [natural] life [logistical grace support] and spiritual life [CWLiving], through the epignosis knowledge [metabolized BD applied experientially] of Him [TLJC] who called us by His own glory and virtue.
2 Peter 1:4 For by these [doctrines - Rebound, Faith Rest, God’s Divine Essence and how it works] God/F has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises [1Peter 5:7, Proverbs 3:5-6, Psm 91, etc], …
… in order that by them [metabolized and applied BD] you might become partakers of the divine nature [God’s Thinking, specifically the CWLiving], having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust [cosmic & human thinking; OSN lifestyle].
2 Peter 1:5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence [mental and physical strength], in your faith [by means of doctrine] apply] [1] virtue, and to your virtue,
apply [2] [gnosis] knowledge, [all realms of BD]
2 Peter 1:6 and in your knowledge, [3] apply self-control [control your OSN & your decisions]; and in your self-control,
[4] apply perseverance [patience with circumstances - hupomone], and in your perseverance,
[5] live the spiritual life [CWLiving]
2 Peter 1:7 and in living the spiritual life,
[6] apply love to members of the RFG, and in your love for members of the RFG,
[7] apply virtue love [to all mankind].
2 Peter 1:8 For if these seven qualities are yours [i.e. keep on being present]
and keep on increasing [we never arrive],
they render you neither useless nor unfruitful [no hopeless situations] in the epignosis knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:9 For the Believer who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted [occupied with the cosmic system],
having forgotten his purification from his former sins [salvation by grace through faith].
2 Peter 1:10 [CMD] Therefore, members of RFG, be all the more motivated [make every effort] to make certain [a spiritual reality] about His calling [common grace] and electing [Doc of Election] you; for as long as you practice these things [the virtues of living the spiritual life], you will no not never stumble [in the spiritual life];
2 Peter 1:11 for in this way [making your calling and election sure, practicing the CWL] the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you [conveyance of Escrow blessings].
