2 Peter 1:7 Context
5And besides this, giuing all diligence, adde to your faith, vertue; and to vertue knowledge; 6And to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godlinesse; 7And to godlinesse, brotherly kindnesse; and to brotherly kindnesse, charitie. 8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that yee shall neither be barren, nor vnfruitfull in the knowledge of our Lord Iesus Christ. 9But hee that lacketh these things, is blind, and cannot see farre off, and hath forgotten that hee was purged from his old sinnes.

Wesley's Notes for 2 Peter 1:7
1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness - No sullenness, sternness, moroseness: sour godliness, so called, is of the devil. Of Christian godliness it may always be said, Mild, sweet, serene, and tender is her mood, Nor grave with sternness, nor with lightness free: Against example resolutely good, Fervent in zeal, and warm in charity. And to brotherly kindness love - The pure and perfect love of God and of all mankind. The apostle here makes an advance upon the preceding article, brotherly kindness, which seems only to relate to the love of Christians toward one another.
