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 (2 Peter 1:5-7).
Peter is describing a list of qualities that build upon one another. These qualities, if possessed, make a Godly person. Notice too that all these qualities are first added to faith. The veracity and effectiveness of virtues is present in the context of faith. Faith is the glue that connects all Godly virtues together.
