2Peter 1

2Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3According as his divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who has called us to glory and virtue:

4By which are given unto us exceedingly great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Additions for Christian Growth

5And for this reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6And to knowledge self control; and to self control patience; and to patience godliness;

7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love.

8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10Therefore rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:

11For so an entrance shall be provided unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Isaiah

"Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst."

Knowledge and Faith are not mutually exclusive

Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (in the nominative case γνῶσις f.). In Christian, Islamic, or Jewish mysticism, mystery religions and Gnosticism gnosis generally signifies a spiritual knowledge or "religion of knowledge", in the sense of mystical enlightenment or "insight". Gnosis taught a deliverance of man from the constraints of earthly existence through insight into an essential relationship, as soul or spirit, with a supramundane place of freedom.^[1]
