2 Peter 1:5-15

Legacy Standard Bible

⁵ Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith ^(A)supply ^(B)moral ^[a]excellence, and in your moral excellence, ^(C)knowledge, ⁶ and in your knowledge, ^(D)self-control, and in your self-control, ^(E)perseverance, and in your perseverance, ^(F)godliness, ⁷ and in your godliness, ^[b](G)brotherly kindness, and in your ^[c]brotherly kindness, ^[d]love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor ^(H)unfruitful in the ^(I)full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For in whom these things are not present, that one is ^(J)blind, being nearsighted, having ^[e]forgotten the ^(K)purification from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your ^(L)calling and ^(M)choosing sure; for in doing these things, you will never ^(N)stumble; ¹¹ for in this way the entrance into ^(O)the eternal kingdom of our ^(P)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be ^(Q)abundantly ^(R)supplied to you.

¹² Therefore, ^(S)I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been strengthened in ^(T)the truth which is present with you. ¹³ I consider it ^(U)right, as long as I am in ^(V)this earthly dwelling, to ^(W)stir you up by way of reminder, ¹⁴ knowing that ^(X)the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, ^(Y)as also our Lord Jesus Christ has indicated to me. ¹⁵ And I will also be diligent that at any time after my ^[f](Z)departure you will be able to call these things to mind.
