| 2Pet.1.8 | For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 2Pet.1.9 | For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. |
| 2Pet.1.10 | Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. |
| 2Pet.1.12 | Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. |
