Add to Your Faith

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to
life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us
to[c] his own glory and excellence,[d] 4 by
which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises,
so that through them you may become partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world
because of sinful desire. 5 For this very
reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with
virtue,[e] and virtue with knowledge, 6 and
knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness,
and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and
godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with
love. 8 For if these qualities[f] are yours
and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or
unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so
nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was
cleansed from his former sins.
10 Therefore, brothers,[g] be all the more
diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you
practice these qualities you will never fall.
11 For in this way there will be richly
provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.   2 Peter
1:3-11
