[h=3][/h][h=3]2 Peter 1:5-7[/h][h=3]King James Version (KJV)
[/h]
[h=3]5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
[/h][h=3]New European Version[/h]5 Yes and for this very cause you on your part should show all diligence; to your faith add virtue, and to virtue, knowledge. 6 And to your knowledge self-control, and to your self-control patience, and to your patience, reverence toward God. 7 And to your reverence toward God, brotherly kindness, and to your brotherly kindness, love.

5 We should use diligence or understanding not just anunderstanding that the world has but use a God given understanding. We shouldnot just know thing that of are Christ but also be like Christ for some we arethe only christ they will see outside their judgment so we should do our bestto mirror Christ.

6 Knowledge is important but more important when theknowledge is God given and is knowledge about the Godly things. Patience issomething most people struggle with, I have struggled with it but I grewbecause of Him and He can allow you to have more patience as well. God ispatience it is important we have patience as well, developing patience isusually not easy though. Patience allows God to take of things in His time andgives us what we need to wait on Him.

7 Kindness is important we should be kind but never at thecost of sinning against God. People may think we are nice until they questionour Lord but, I would rather them question my kindness than mock my Lord. Thosewho do not say bad things about our Lord may view us as nice but we shouldnever be door mats for people to walk all over and take advantage of us.
