God’s Formula for Sanctification in the Believer (a.k.a. What WE are to do!)
“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 love.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.…
