"For this reason, make every effort to
add to your faith goodness;
and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance;
and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness, love.
For if you possess these qualities in
increasing measure, they will
keep you from being ineffective and unproductive
in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."

2 Peter 5-8
