Peter teaches that good Christian conduct is characterized by love and forbearance. In 2 Peter 1:5-7, Peter encourages believers to add to their faith virtues such as knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Love is described as the ultimate virtue that binds all the others together (Colossians 3:14). Forbearance is the ability to patiently endure difficult circumstances and people, which is an important aspect of Christian love (Ephesians 4:2). Therefore, love and forbearance are both essential components of good Christian conduct, as taught by Peter.
