[5 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/5) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; [6 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/6) And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; [7 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/7) And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. [8 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/8) 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. [9 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/9) But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. [10 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/10) Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: [11 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/11) For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. [12 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/12) 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. [13 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/13) Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting *you* in remembrance; [14 ](/kjv/2-peter/1/14) Knowing that shortly I must put off *this* my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. [1 Peter 5](/kjv/1-peter/5) [2 Peter 2](/kjv/2-peter/2) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11","name":"2 Peter 1:1-11 KJV - \"Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle...\" | Real Bible Believers","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"\"Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteou\" — Read 2 Peter 1:1-11 in the King James Version (KJV) with commentary, cross references, and Greek/Hebrew lexicon.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv","name":"KJV Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter","name":"2 Peter"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1","name":"1"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/kjv/2-peter/1/1-11","name":"Verse 1-11"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
