Index for Maturity

The steps to maturity are laid out in 2 Peter 1:5-7. Peter emphasized the importance of them by blessing those who followed them and cursing those who ignored them. Unfortunately he was writing to those who had already heard his teaching, so he just used one word for each of the steps.
