"Shortsighted"

 forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.  

 

Fruitful Growth in the Faith          2 Peter

⁵ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 

 ⁶ to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 

 ⁷ to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 

⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

⁹ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.


¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 

¹¹ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
