2 Peter 1:8
For if these things are yours and abound ( ταυτα γαρ υμιν υπαρχοντα κα πλεοναζοντα ). Present active circumstantial (conditional) participles neuter plural of υπαρχω and πλεοναζω (see 1Th 3:12) with dative case υμιν, "these things existing for you (or in you) and abounding."They make you to be ( καθιστησιν ). "Render" (present active indicative of καθιστημ, old verb, Jas 3:6), singular because ταυτα neuter plural.
Not idle nor unfruitful ( ουκ αργους ουδε ακαρπους ). Accusative predicative plural with υμας understood, both adjectives with alpha privative, for αργος see Jas 2:20 and for ακαρπος Mt 13:22.
Knowledge ( επιγνωσιν ). "Full (additional) knowledge" as in 1:2.
