2 Peter 1:9
2 Peter 1:5-9 The Message (MSG)
So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can’t see what’s right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.
2 Peter 1:9 King James Version (KJV)
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
2 Peter 1:9 New Century Version (NCV)
But anyone who does not have these things cannot see clearly. He is blind and has forgotten that he was made clean from his past sins.
2 Peter 1:9 American Standard Version (ASV)
For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
2 Peter 1:9 New International Version (NIV)
But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
2 Peter 1:9 New King James Version (NKJV)
For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
2 Peter 1:9 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For whoever lacks these qualities is blind—shortsighted [closing his spiritual eyes to the truth], having become oblivious to the fact that he was cleansed from his old sins.
2 Peter 1:9 New Living Translation (NLT)
But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.
