Make every effort
to supplement your faith with virtue,
and virtue with knowledge,
and knowledge with self control,
and self control with steadfastness,
and steadfastness with godliness,
and godliness with brotherly affection,
and brotherly affection with love.
For if these things are your and abound,
     they keep you
     from being ineffective or unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

                          2 Peter 1. 5-8
