* For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness , and to manliness knowledge , * and to knowledge self-control , and to self-control stedfastness , and to stedfastness piety , * and to piety brotherly love , and to brotherly love , love itself . * For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure , they render you not idle nor unfruitful , until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ . * For the man who lacks these virtues is blind , short-sighted , forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins . * So , brothers , take diligent care to make your calling and election sure ; for if you do this , you will never stumble .
