Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Yes, and for this very reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge, ⁶ knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety, ⁷ piety by brotherly affection, and brotherly affection by love. ⁸ For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Surely the man who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that he has been purified from his sins of the past!
