5And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
5And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
2 Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:
3 As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
4 By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
5 And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
7 And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.

1:5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
1:5But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
1:5Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;
1:5Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;
1:5And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
1:5Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
1:5And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,
1:5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
