Supplement your basic faith with a generous provision of moral excellence (good character),
and moral excellence with knowledge (spiritual understanding),
and knowledge with self-control (vigilant discipline),
and self-control with patient endurance (passionate patience),
and patient endurance with godliness (reverent wonder),
and godliness with brotherly affection (warm friendliness),
and brotherly affection with love for everyone (generous love),
each dimension fitting into and developing the others.
