Hi, tgbishop. Welcome! 2 Peter 1: 5) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6) to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7) to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. (NKJ) I like this note from my New Geneva Study Bible: "1:5-7 The order of virtues here ("faith ---love") is not a sequence in time, as if stages of the Christian life were being described (vv.8,9). Peter is using a rhetorical figure that builds a series of elements to a climax. The begining and conclusion of the series are significant, however. Early Christian virtue lists often begin with "faith," the starting point of the Christian life, and end with "love" (Rom. 5:1-5; 1 Cor. 13), the preeminent fruit of the Christian life. In Him, Karen |
