▼Or excellence; twice in this verse
 and virtue cwith knowledge, 6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control dwith steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7and godliness ewith brotherly affection, and brotherly affection fwith love. 8For if these qualities ▼
▼Greek  these things; also verses 9, 10, 12
 are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or hunfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he iis blind, having forgotten that he was jcleansed from his former sins. 10Therefore, brothers, ▼
▼Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church
 be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and lelection, for if you practice these qualities myou will never fall.
