This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thus (houtōs). As shown in 2Pe 1:10.
Shall be supplied (epichorēgēthēsetai). Future passive of epichorēgeō, for which see 2Pe 1:5. You supply the virtues above and God will supply the entrance (hē eisodos, old word already in 1Th 1:9, etc.).
Richly (plousiōs). See Col 3:16 for this adverb.
Into the eternal kingdom (eis tēn aiōnion basileian). The believer’s inheritance of 1Pe 1:4 is here termed kingdom, but “eternal” (aiōnion feminine same as masculine). Curiously again in the Stratonicea inscription we find tēs aiōniou archēs (of the eternal rule) applied to “the lords of Rome.” But this is the spiritual reign of God in men’s hearts here on earth (1Pe 2:9) and in heaven.
Of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (tou kuriou hēmōn kai sōtēros Iēsou Christou). For which idiom see note on 2Pe 1:1.
