Yes, and for this very reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge, knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles; For we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
By purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindliness, by holiness of spirit, by unfeigned love;
piety by brotherly affection, and brotherly affection by love.

Love is long-suffering, and kind; Love is never envious, never boastful, never conceited, never behaves unbecomingly;
You will be made strong at all points with a strength worthy of the power manifested in his Glory--strong to endure with patience, and even with gladness, whatever may befall you;
Proclaim the Message, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, encourage, never failing to instruct with forbearance.
