" Seeing that His DIVINE POWER has granted to us all things which relate to life and godliness, ...
The Christian begins with what God has granted by God's DIVINE POWER. And that is everything which relates to living divine life and expression godliness.
The ability comes out what His divine power can grant to us.
" ...
through the full knowledge of Him who has called us by His own glory and virtue. "
That is to know not ABOUT Jesus only but to know Jesus Himself, experientially. "The full knowledge of HIM". We have been actually granted by God;s divine power to subjectively know Jesus Himself - each of us simultaneously.
Jesus Christ has called us by His own glory and virtue to subjectively enjoy Him.
All this the heretic laughs at in scorn.
