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

⁸ For as these qualities exist and increase with you, they render you active and fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ whereas he who has not these by him is blind, shortsighted, oblivious that he has been cleansed from his erstwhile sins. ¹⁰ So be the more eager, brothers, to ratify your calling and election, for as you practise these qualities you will never make a slip; ¹¹ you will thus be richly furnished with the right of entry into the eternal realm of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

¹² Hence I mean to keep on reminding you of this, although you are aware of it and are fixed in the Truth as it is; ¹³ so long as I am in this tent, I deem it proper to stir you up by way of reminder, ¹⁴ since I know my tent must be folded up very soon ??as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. ¹⁵ Yes, and I will see to it that even when I am gone, you will keep this constantly in mind.
