The phrase for this same reason refers to what Peter has just said in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this phrase explicitly. Alternate translation: “and now because of these things that God has done”

σπουδὴν πᾶσαν παρεισενέγκαντες

earnestness all ˱they˲_/having/_brought_in

The phrase applying all diligence indicates the means by which one is to do the action of supplying that follows. Alternate translation: “by means of applying all diligence”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

σπουδὴν πᾶσαν παρεισενέγκαντες

earnestness all ˱they˲_/having/_brought_in

Here, applying all diligence is an idiom that means doing one’s best or making the best effort. Alternate translation: “making every effort”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐπιχορηγήσατε ἐν τῇ πίστει ὑμῶν

supply in ¬the faith ˱of˲_you_all

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun faith with a verb such as “trust” or “believe.” Alternate translation: “as you trust in Jesus, add”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / you

ὑμῶν

˱of˲_you_all

The pronoun your is plural here, since Peter is writing to believers in Jesus as a group. Generally, throughout the letter the pronouns “you” and “your” are plural for this same reason.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἀρετήν & τῇ ἀρετῇ

¬the virtue & ¬the virtue

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν

Peter is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. These words can be supplied from earlier in the sentence. Alternate translation: “and supply in your goodness, knowledge”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν γνῶσιν

¬the ¬the knowledge

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun knowledge using a verbal phrase. Alternate translation: “knowing more about God”
