2 Peter 1:5-9
Wycliffe Bible
5 And bring ye in all busyness, and minister in your faith virtue, and in virtue knowing [soothly in virtue science, or knowing];
6 in knowing abstinence [in science soothly abstinence], in abstinence patience, in patience piety;
7 in piety, love of brotherhood, and in love of brotherhood charity.
8 For if these be with you, and overcome [and overcome, or be plenteous], they shall not make you void, neither without fruit [nor without fruit], in the knowing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But to whom these be not ready, he is blind, and gropeth with his hand, and forgetteth the purging of his old trespasses.

2 Peter 1:5-9
New Matthew Bible
5 And give all diligence to this. To your faith add virtue, and to virtue knowledge, 6 and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, to patience godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things be among you and abound, they will make you so that you will neither be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he who lacks these things is blind, and gropes for the way with his hands, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
