Kefa II 1:5-9
Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 For this very reason, you must apply all zerizut (diligence) to supply emunah with midah hatov (the attribute of virtue), and midah hatov with da’as (knowledge),
6 And da’as with shlitah atzmit (self-control), and shlitah atzmit with chozek (fortitude) and chozek with chasidus (piety),
7 And chassidus with ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love), and ahavah shel achvah with ahavah (agape).
8 For if these midos are in you increasingly, they will forestall you from being batlanim (idlers) and lo poreh (unfruitful) in the da’as (personal saving knowledge) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua.
9 For the one with whom these middos chasidus (qualities of piety) are not present is an ivver (blind man), being shortsighted, having forgotten the tohorah (cleansing) of his past averos.

2 Peter 1:5-9
English Standard Version
5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith (A)with virtue,[a] and virtue (B)with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control (C)with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness (D)with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection (E)with love. 8 For if these qualities[b] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or (F)unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he (G)is blind, having forgotten that he was (H)cleansed from his former sins.
