5 For this reason you must work hard: with faith, you must add virtue; With virtue, it is necessary to increase knowledge; 6 With knowledge, temperance is added; With moderation, patience must be added; With patience, add godliness; 7 With godliness, add to the love of brothers; With the love of a brother, add divine love. 8 For you have these things, and you continue to grow, so that you will not be idle and fruitless in knowing our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 If a person does not have these things, he is short-sighted, he is simply blind, and he has forgotten that his past sins have been cleansed. 10 Therefore, brethren, work harder to unwavering in your calling and election. If you practice these things, you will never fall. 11 In this way, you will be fully equipped to enter the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (New translation).
