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

⁸ For if you have these qualities and they continue to increase in you, they will make you neither idle nor unproductive in attaining a full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For whoever lacks these qualities is blind -- or short-sighted-- and forgetful of the cleansing that he has received from his former sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be all the more in earnest to make certain to yourselves God's call and choice of you. For if you cultivate these qualities, you will never slip, ¹¹ for it is in this way that to you will be generously granted a triumphant admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

¹² Therefore, I will always remind you of these things, although you know them and are firmly grounded in the truth that you already have. ¹³ Yet I think it right, as long as I live in this bodily tent, to arouse you by a reminder, ¹⁴ because I know that the removal of my bodily tent is to be very soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. ¹⁵ Yes, I will be in earnest, so that every time you have occasion, after I have gone away, you may call these things to mind.
