NET Bible
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge;"
— 2 Peter 1:5, NET Bible
“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;”
“Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge; ”
“Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;”
“And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue: And in virtue, knowledge:”
“So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,”
“And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;”
May grace and peace be lavished on you as you grow in the rich knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord!
Believers’ Salvation and the Work of God I can pray this because his divine power has bestowed on us everything necessary for life and godliness through the rich knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.
Through these things he has bestowed on us his precious and most magnificent promises, so that by means of what was promised you may become partakers of the divine nature, after escaping the worldly corruption that is produced by evil desire.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge;
to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness;
to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love.
For if these things are really yours and are continually increasing, they will keep you from becoming ineffective and unproductive in your pursuit of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ more intimately.
