2 Peter 1:5-11

EJ2000(i) 5 ¶ Ye also, giving all diligence to the same, show forth virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge; 6 and in knowledge, temperance; and in temperance, patience; and in patience, fear of God; 7 and in fear of God, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, charity. 8 For if these things are in you and abound, they shall not let you be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacks these things is blind and walks feeling the way with his hand, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, give all the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, ye shall never fall. 11 Because in this manner the entrance shall be abundantly administered unto you in the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
