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

⁸ For these being to you, and abounding, they establish you not without effort, neither unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For in whom these are not present, he is blind, being affected with shortness of sight, having taken 2Peter 1:forgetfulness of the cleansing formerly of his sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore rather, brethren, be earnest to have your calling and selection made firm: for doing these, ye should not once stumble: ¹¹ For so shall an entrance be furnished richly to you in addition into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹² Wherefore I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though having known, and being supported in the present truth. ¹³ And I deem just, in as far as I am in this tent, to arouse you by putting in mind; ¹⁴ Knowing that the laying aside of my tent is swift; as also our Lord Jesus Christ manifested to me. ¹⁵ And I shall also be earnest for you always to have, after my exit, this putting in mind to be done.
