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

⁸ For if these things be among you, and are plenteous, they will make you that ye neither shall be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of the our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he that lacketh these things is blind and gropeth for the way with his hand, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence for to make your calling and election sure. For if ye do such things, ye shall never err. ¹¹ Yea, and by this means an entering-in shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of such things, though that ye know them yourselves and be also established in the present truth. ¹³ Notwithstanding, I think it mete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ forasmuch as I am sure how that the time is at hand that I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me. ¹⁵ I will enforce, therefore, that on every side ye might have wherewith to stir up the remembrance of these things after my departing.
