2 Peter 1:8-15 - Make Your Calling And Election Secure

⁸ For if these things be in you, and abound, they cause you to be neither idle, nor unfruitful as it respects the acknowledgment of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you will never fall. ¹¹ For thus will an entrance be given you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

¹² Wherefore, I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth. ¹³ Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you by putting you in remembrance. ¹⁴ For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. ¹⁵ But I will earnestly endeavor that you may be able, even after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
