2 Peter 1:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ and godliness with mutual^[a] affection, and mutual^[b] affection with love. ⁸ For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For anyone who lacks these things is short-sighted and blind, and is forgetful of the cleansing of past sins.
