2 Pedro 1:7

7 a la devoción a Dios, afecto fraternal; y al afecto fraternal, amor.

2 Pedro 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 7 And to godliness, brotherly kindness
Without which, godliness, or external worship, or a profession of religion, is a vain show; for this is both the evidence of regeneration, and of the truth and power of real godliness; and also the beauty, comfort, and security of Christian society and worship, and without which they cannot be maintained with peace, profit, and honour:

and to brotherly kindness, charity:
or "love"; that is, to all men, enemies, as well as to the household of faith; and to God and Christ, to his house, worship, ordinances, people and truths. Charity is more extensive in its objects and acts than brotherly kindness or love. As faith leads the van, charity brings up the rear, and is the greatest of all.

2 Pedro 1:7 In-Context

5 Precisamente por eso, esfuércense por añadir a su fe, virtud; a su virtud, entendimiento;

6 al entendimiento, dominio propio; al dominio propio, constancia; a la constancia, devoción a Dios;

7 a la devoción a Dios, afecto fraternal; y al afecto fraternal, amor.

8 Porque estas cualidades, si abundan en ustedes, los harán crecer en el conocimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y evitarán que sean inútiles e improductivos.

9 En cambio, el que no las tiene es tan corto de vista que ya ni ve, y se olvida de que ha sido limpiado de sus antiguos pecados.
