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

⁸ For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall. ¹¹ For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹² Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you. ¹³ Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; ¹⁴ knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me. ¹⁵ Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind.
