“… Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . For if you do these things, you will never stumble… So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have” (2 Peter 1:5-8, 10, 12 NIV).
