2Peter:1:5-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Ye also ,
giving all diligence to the same ,
show forth virtue in your faith ;
and in virtue ,
knowledge ;
*
and in knowledge ,
temperance ;
and in temperance ,
patience ;
and in patience ,
fear of God ;
*
and in fear of God ,
brotherly love ;
and in brotherly love ,
charity .
*
For if these things are in you and abound ,
they shall not let you be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ .
*
But he that lacks these things is blind and walks feeling the way with his hand ,
having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins .
*
Therefore ,
brethren ,
give all the more diligence to make your calling and election sure ;
for doing these things ,
ye shall never fall .
