Once you have faith,
you mustn’t stop there
you need to add to it
more things with care.
To your faith add virtue,
and you will be pure
for faith and virtue
is ungodly living’s cure.
To virtue add knowledge,
it is the wisdom of life
for faith with knowledge
will cause you no strife.
To knowledge add self-control
in all the things you do
for faith and self-control
lets the light of God shine through.
To self-control add perseverance,
you will need it to faithfully run
for faith and perseverance
is the only way the race is won.
To perseverance add godliness,
in all that you say and do
then charity and brotherly kindness
will ooze right out of you!
~~~~~~~~~~
“And beside this, giving all diligence,
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.
