- For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
- Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;

- 有了知识,又要加上节制。有了节制,又要加上忍耐。有了忍耐,又要加上虔敬。
- 有了虔敬,又要加上爱弟兄的心。有了爱弟兄的心,又要加上爱众人的心
- 你们若充充足足的有这几样,就必使你们在认识我们的主耶稣基督上,不至于闲懒不结果子了。
- 人若没有这几样,就是眼瞎,只看见近处的,忘了他旧日的罪已经得了洁净。
- 所以弟兄们,应当更加殷勤,使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移。你们若行这几样,就永不失脚。
