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

⁸ For if these virtues are yours in abounding measure, they render you not idle nor unfruitful, until you come into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For the man who lacks these virtues is blind, short-sighted, forgetful of his cleansing from his old sins. ¹⁰ So, brothers, take diligent care to make your calling and election sure; for if you do this, you will never stumble. ¹¹ For so the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

¹² I shall therefore be always ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it, and are firmly founded in the truth which is with you. ¹³ So I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to rouse you by way of reminding you, ¹⁴ since I know that the time for me to strike tent comes swiftly on, even as our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out to me. ¹⁵ So I will do my best to enable you, even after my departure, continually to call these things to mind.
