6 E ao conhecimento, domínio próprio; e ao domínio próprio, paciência; e à paciência, devoção divina;
7 E à devoção divina, amor fraternal; e ao amor fraternal, amor.
8 Porque se em vós existirem e abundarem estas coisas, elas não vos deixarão ociosos nem estéreis no conhecimento de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.
9 Porque aquele em quem não há estas coisas é cego, nada vendo de longe, tendo se esquecido da purificação de seus antigos pecados.
10 Portanto, irmãos, procurai ainda mais confirmar vosso chamamento e escolha [da parte de Deus] ; porque fazendo isso nunca tropeçareis.
