ISV(i)
5 For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,
6 your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,
7 your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love.
8 For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.
9 For the person who lacks these qualities is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing that he has received from his past sins.
10 So then, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election certain, for if you keep on doing this you will never fail. 11 For in this way you will be generously granted entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Messiah.
