2 Peter 1:5-9
5Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith 1supply 2moral 3excellence, and in your moral excellence, 4knowledge,
6and in your knowledge, 5self-control, and in your self-control, 6perseverance, and in your perseverance, 7godliness,
7and in your godliness, 8brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
8For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor 9unproductive in the true 10knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9For the one who lacks these qualities is 11blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his 12purification from his former sins.
