Fruitful Growth in the Faith
5 But also for this very reason, (A)giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue (B)knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control [a]perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and (C)to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [b]barren (D)nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
