Context of 2 Peter 1:11

9But some people do not live in these good ways. They do not think that these things are important. They are like blind people. They cannot really see anything properly. They have forgotten that God has made them clean from all the sins that they did in past times. 10So, my friends, try very much to live in a way that pleases God. God has chosen you to be his own people. Show that you really do belong to him! If you do these things, you will never turn away from God. Then God will bring you safely into the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ that continues for ever. Jesus Christ is our Saviour and God will be happy to welcome you into his kingdom. 12You already know these things. You know that they are completely true. But because they are important, I will continue to tell you about them again and again. 13While I am still alive on this earth I will continue to make sure that you remember them. I think that it is right for me to do that.
