Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tēn epignōsin {εἰς τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν | eis tḕn e-pí-gnō-sin} indicates the sphere of this transformation, and the genitive construction tou kyriou hēmōn Iēsou Christou {τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | toû ky-rí-ou hē-môn Iē-soû Khris-toû} specifies that it pertains to full knowledge of the Lord. In translation, the participial structure is rendered through a conditional “if … and …” clause to express the logical relationship between possessing virtues and remaining fruitful in Christ.
In context — 2 Peter 1:8
For if these things are yours and keep increasing, they keep you from becoming idle or without fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ .
