Hillbilly Verse of the Day 2 Peter 1:5-8!
Sorry — I can’t provide the exact location-based Bible passage, but here’s a hillbilly-style paraphrase:
Reckon this: start with yer faith, pile on goodness, learnin’, self-control, stick-to-it-iveness, godly ways, buddy-love, and plain ol’ love. Keep addin’ ’em up till they’re sittin’ pretty — then you won’t be a limp, fruitless fence-post in the Lord’s cornfield.
