The Grands Letter (2 Pet/GLJ)

Dear Grands,

2 Peter 1:5-8, “Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence,

in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence,

knowledge, 6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control,

perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, 7 and in your godliness,

brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if these qualities

are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the

true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

These are the Octaves of Virtue. Do you know why they are called that?

Love you Octavily,

Nana & Dado III
