"For is these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Context: In order to escape the bad stuff in this world from hurting our souls and to be able to spend eternity with God, God gave us faith. We then spend our lives building on that with His help adding high standards, experiences and skills, self-control, not giving up, a deep respect for God, caring about others with a generous attitude, being patient, being kind, not envious, not boastful, not proud, not dishonoring others, not self-seeking, not easily angered, no records of wrongs against others, not delighting in evil, rejoicing in the truth, protecting, trustful, hopeful, and persevering.
If you have all these things, you will succeed in life by following God's will. Your life will be worth so much more and you will have brought people to know Jesus when all is said and done. There will be no reason to have a mid life crisis or wish for death because you will know that you did something worthwhile. You lived as God wants to the best that you could while on Earth and that He is proud of you.
