King James Version
"But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins."
— 2 Peter 1:9, King James Version
“For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. ”
“For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.”
“But concerning the one who lacks such things– he is blind. That is to say, he is nearsighted, since he has forgotten about the cleansing of his past sins.”
“For he that hath not these things with him is blind and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”
“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.”
“But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.”
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
