2 Peter 1:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ and to your knowledge, add self-control; and to your self-control, add patience; and to your patience, add service for God; ⁷ and to your service for God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love. ⁸ If all these things are in you and are growing, they will help you to be useful and productive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
