4 wherby the excellent and most greate promyses are geue vnto vs: namely, that ye by the same shulde be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flye the corrupte lust of the worlde:
5 Geue ye all youre diligence therfore here vnto, and in youre faith mynister vertue: in vertue, knowlege:
6 in knowlege, temperancy: in temperancy, pacience: in pacience, godlynes:
7 in godlynes, brotherly loue: in brotherly loue, generall loue.
8 For yf these thinges be plenteous in you, they will not let you be ydle nor vnfrutefull in ye knowlege of oure LORDE Iesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these thinges, is blynde, & gropeth for the waye with the hade, and hath forgotten, that he was clensed from his olde synnes.
