⁵ So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge. ⁶ To knowledge, add the ability to control yourselves. To the ability to control yourselves, add the strength to keep going. To the strength to keep going, add godliness. ⁷ To godliness, add kindness to believers. And to kindness to believers, add love. ⁸ You should possess more and more of those good points. They will make you useful and fruitful as you get to know our Lord Jesus Christ better. ⁹ But what if some of you do not have those good points? Then you can't see very well. You are blind. You have forgotten that your past sins have been washed away. ¹⁰ My brothers and sisters, be very sure that God has appointed you to be saved. Be sure that he has chosen you. If you do everything I have just said, you will never trip and fall. ¹¹ You will receive a rich welcome into the kingdom that lasts forever. It is the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
