Selah · Bible verse
2 Peter 1:6
and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;
In context
4by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;
7and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
