2PETER 1: 5-9
FIRST: take care of yourself
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
SECOND: how to treat others
7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
CONCLUSION:
8For 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.
WITHOUT THESE: look at our lives
9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
