Did Witness Lee ever emphasize the qualities other than godliness in this list? Why not, because that is what godliness looks like.

For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:4
Appears the key word is may become. It doesn't say will become. Condition appears to be having escaped corruption that is in the world.
Question is, did Lee escape "corruption that is in the world by lust" in order to be a partaker of the divine nature?
