So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge.

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,

In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,

Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, 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;

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge,

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge;

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,

Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed— not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence— continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,

but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.

Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of the Lord, and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the Lord your God.”
