2 Peter 1:8-15

8If you have these qualities and they are increasing, it demonstrates that your knowledge about our Lord Jesus Christ is living and productive.

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.

11Then 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.

14I know that I will die soon. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made that clear to me.

15So I will make every effort to see that you remember these things after I die.
