Context of 2 Peter 1:11

9If these qualities aren’t present in your life, you’re shortsighted and have forgotten that you were cleansed from your past sins. 10Therefore, brothers and sisters, use more effort to make God’s calling and choosing of you secure. If you keep doing this, you will never fall away. Then you will also be given the wealth of entering into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 12Therefore, I will always remind you about these qualities, although you already know about them and are well-grounded in the truth that you now have. 13As long as I’m still alive, I think it’s right to refresh your memory.

Commentaries on 2 Peter 1:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11For so an entrance shall be ministered - If ye give diligence; and do not fall, an abundant, free, honorable, and triumphant entrance shall be ministered to you into the everlasting kingdom.
