2 Peter 1:5-11

Riverside(i) 5 for this very reason make it your whole endeavor to supply to your faith virtue, and to your virtue knowledge, 6 and to your knowledge self-control, and to your self-control endurance, and to your endurance reverence, 7 and to your reverence brotherliness, and to your brotherliness love. 8 For when you have these in abundance they make you to be neither idle nor fruitless regarding the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he who lacks these is blind, dim-sighted, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore endeavor more earnestly, brethren, to make sure that you have been called and chosen. For while doing these things you will never stumble. 11 For so entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you.
