For if these things be in you, and abound, they cause you to be neither idle, nor unfruitful as it respects the acknowledgment of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he who is wanting in these things is blind, and closes his eyes, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Wherefore, brethren, give the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you will never fall. For thus will an entrance be given you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wherefore, I will not neglect to remind you always of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth. Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to arouse you by putting you in remembrance. For I know that the putting off of this my tabernacle is near at hand, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. But I will earnestly endeavor that you may be able, even after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
