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.

2 Peter 1:5-9
International Standard Version
5 For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge, 6 your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness, 7 your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love. 8 For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.[a] 9 For the person who lacks these qualities is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing that he has received from his past sins.
