5 But for this very reason--adding, on your part, all earnestness-- along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;
6 along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;
7 along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
