2 Peter 1:4-8

4Through his glory and integrity he has given us his promises that are of the highest value. Through these promises you will share in the divine nature because you have escaped the corruption that sinful desires cause in the world.

5Because of this, make every effort to add integrity to your faith; and to integrity add knowledge;

6to knowledge add self-control; to self-control add endurance; to endurance add godliness;

7to godliness add Christian affection; and to Christian affection add love.

8If you have these qualities and they are increasing, it demonstrates that your knowledge about our Lord Jesus Christ is living and productive.
