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

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;

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, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable— if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise— dwell on these things.

Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.

And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment,

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope,

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

Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found at peace with Him without spot or blemish.

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints,

Why do you spend money on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.

So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

You have commanded that Your precepts be diligently kept.

So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him.

Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal of approval on Him.”

For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.

Brothers, don’t be childish in your thinking, but be infants in regard to evil and adult in your thinking.

Make sure that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness springs up, causing trouble and by it, defiling many.

Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives with an understanding of their weaker nature yet showing them honor as coheirs of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those who want to pass over from here to you cannot; neither can those from there cross over to us.’

People who are far off will come and build the Lord’s temple, and you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen when you fully obey the Lord your God.”
