2 Peter 1:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love. ⁸ For if you possess these qualities, and if they continue to increase among you, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.^{[a] 9} For the person who lacks these qualities is blind and shortsighted, and has forgotten the cleansing that he has received from his past sins.
