2 Peter 1:5-9
그러므로 여러분은 열성을 다하여 여러분의 믿음에 덕을 더하고, 덕에 지식을 더하고,지식에 절제를 더하고, 절제에 인내를 더하고, 인내에 경건을 더하고,
경건에 신도간의 우애를 더하고, 신도간의 우애에 사랑을 더하도록 하십시오. 이런 것들이 여러분에게 갖추어지고, 또 넉넉해지면, 여러분은 우리 주 예수 그리스도를 아는 일에 게으르거나 열매를 맺지 못하는 사람이 되지 않을 것입니다. 그러나 이런 것들을 갖추지 못한 사람은 근시안이거나 앞을 못 보는 사람입니다. 이런 사람은 자기의 옛 죄가 깨끗하여졌음을 잊어버린 것입니다.For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

We are by default "ineffective and unproductive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ"... and we can only increase the measure of knowing Him as we make the efforts to deepen the qualities such goodness, self-control, perseverance within us....Only by doing so, we will be able to participate in the divine nature,
escaping the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
