2 Peter 1:5-11
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence,
add to your faith
virtue
to virtue,
knowledge
to knowledge,
self-control
to self-control,
perseverence
to perseverence,
godliness
to godliness,
brotherly kindness
and to brotherly kindness,
love.
For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For he who lacks these things is
shortsighted, even to blindness,
and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
Therefore,
brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
