Context of 2 Peter 1:11

9The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins. 10Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble. For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. 12Therefore I will always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have. 13I think it is right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to wake you up with a reminder,
