Things to Add

⁵  For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; ⁶  and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; ⁷  and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. ⁸  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. 2 Peter 1:5-8 (NIV)
