2 Peter 1:5–10

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith iwith virtue,1 and virtue jwith knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control kwith steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness lwith brotherly affection, and brotherly affection mwith love. For if these qualities2 are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or nunfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he ois blind, having forgotten that he was pcleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers,3 be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and qelection, for if you practice these qualities ryou will never fall.
