## 2 Peter 1:8-10 in Context (Verses 5–13 KJV)
 
 [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;
 
[1 Peter 5](/kjv/1-peter/5) [2 Peter 2](/kjv/2-peter/2)
