Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 2 Peter 1:5-11

5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;
6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
8For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
11and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
— 2 Peter 1:5-11
