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.

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.
