2 Peter 1:8 in Context — 2 Peter 1

6 Y en la ciencia templanza, y en la templanza paciencia, y en la paciencia temor de Dios;

7 Y en el temor de Dios, amor fraternal, y en el amor fraternal caridad.

8 Porque si en vosotros hay estas cosas, y abundan, no os dejarán estar ociosos, ni estériles en el conocimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

9 Mas el que no tiene estas cosas, es ciego, y tiene la vista muy corta, habiendo olvidado la purificación de sus antiguos pecados.

10 Por lo cual, hermanos, procurad tanto más de hacer firme vuestra vocación y elección; porque haciendo estas cosas, no caeréis jamás.
