Question source
2 Peter
Peter tells believers to supplement faith with a sequence of qualities: virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. The list is presented as a deliberate progression “for this very reason.” See 2 Peter 1:5–7.
5Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;
7and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
