2 Peter 1:8

---

← 2 Peter 1:7	2 Peter 1:8 (KJV)	2 Peter 1:9 →
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.	For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.	But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
