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

⁸ For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Surely the man who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that he has been purified from his sins of the past! ¹⁰ Therefore, Brothers, do your best to put God's Call and Selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall. ¹¹ For thus you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

¹² I shall, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the Truth that you now hold. ¹³ But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this 'tent,' to rouse you by awakening memories of the past; ¹⁴ for I know that the time for this 'tent' of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me. ¹⁵ So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
