"And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,"
— 2 Peter 1:6, Bible in Basic English
“And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;”
“and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness; ”
“and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;”
“to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness;”
“And in knowledge, abstinence: and in abstinence, patience: and in patience, godliness:”
“And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;”
Because by his power he has given us everything necessary for life and righteousness, through the knowledge of him who has been our guide by his glory and virtue;
And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,
And self-control to knowledge, and a quiet mind to self-control, and fear of God to a quiet mind,
And love of the brothers to fear of God, and to love of the brothers, love itself.
For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.
