2 Peter 1:5-11

Noyes(i) 5 even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, 6 and to knowledge selfcontrol, and to selfcontrol endurance, and to endurance godliness, 7 and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall. 11 For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
