For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with perseverance, and perseverance with godliness, 7and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
That is a lot of supplements. I mean ending in love I think is a point, showing the importance. But which ones do we tend to forget? virtue? steadfastness? knowledge? or maybe brotherly affection and love? With the word supplement I think of vitamins, and these are like the daily vitamins we need to increase our faith.
(Post-Thought: Do I need to look closer at the order aside from the last one?)
