MLV(i)
5 Now also for this same thing, besides having entered in all diligence, supply in your faith, virtue, and in your virtue, knowledge
6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, endurance, and in your endurance, godliness;
7 and in your godliness, brotherly-love, and in your brotherly-love, love.
8 For if these things are existing and increasing in you, none will designate you idle or unfruitful toward the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For the one is blind in whom these things are not present, being short-sighted, having taken on himself the forgetfulness of the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Hence brethren, be more diligent to make your calling and choice steadfast; for, you may never trip someday while practicing these things; 11 for so the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.
