Second 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 perseverance,
To perseverance GODliness,
To GODliness brotherly kindness,
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 diligence
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
or our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
