2 Peter 1

7 and to the godliness brotherly affection, and to the brotherly affection love. Do these qualities have to be added in this sequence, or can we tackle them in any order, or even all at once? If this sequence must be followed I don’t understand how it works. I believe spiritual growth moves in an upward spiral; the Holy Spirit makes the rounds of all areas, progressively increasing the level of excellence, or Christ-likeness. I take this to be the point of the ‘increasing’ in verse 8.
