2 Peter 1:5-11

Haweis(i) 5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence; 6 and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety; 7 and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love. 8 For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble: 11 but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
