Apostel Peetrus kirjutas: „Tehes vastuseks kõiki tõsimeelseid pingutusi, varustage oma usk vooruslikkusega, vooruslikkus tundmisega, tundmine enesevalitsemisega, enesevalitsemine vastupidavusega, vastupidavus Jumalale andumusega, Jumalale andumus vennaliku kiindumusega, vennalik kiindumus armastusega ”.
