I neglected to mention that the NET translation takes TELEIWS with NHFONTES.

learn truth, love truth, speak the truth, hold the truth, 
defend the truth till death.

Peter says, 

NHFONTES TELEIWS ELPISATE (1 Pet. 1:13).

I see that WH and NEB like the adverb with NHFONTES, but they're in a small
minority. I have the sense that the adverb goes more naturally with the
imperative than with the participle, but is there a principle of Greek
grammar or style that helps me decide with any confidence?
