A little Good Counsel.

By Peter

Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 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. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, at his appearing and kingdom. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall we also appear with him in glory. The coming of the Lord draweth near: For the end of all things is at hand. Wherefore, beloved, seeing ye look for such things be diligent, that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

[Peter.]
