2 Peter 1:8-15
8For if theseG3778 qualities are yoursG4771 and are increasingG4121, they renderG2525 you neitherG3756 uselessG692 norG3761 1unfruitfulG175 in the trueG1922 2knowledgeG1922 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 9For he whoG3739 lacksG3361G3918 theseG3778 qualities is 3blindG5185 or short-sightedG3467, having forgottenG2983G3024 his 4purificationG2512 from his formerG3819 sinsG266. 10ThereforeG1352, brethrenG80, be allG3123 the moreG3123 diligentG4704 to makeG4160 certainG949 about His 5callingG2821 and 6choosingG1589 you; for as long as you practiceG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778, you will neverG3756G3361G4218 7stumbleG4417; 11for in thisG3779 wayG3779 the entranceG1529 into 8the eternalG166 kingdomG932 of our 9LordG2962 and SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 will be 10abundantlyG4146 11suppliedG2023 to you.
12ThereforeG1352, 12I will alwaysG104 be readyG3195 to remindG5279 you of theseG3778 thingsG3778, evenG2539 thoughG2539 you already knowG3609 them, and have been establishedG4741 in 13the truthG225 which is presentG3918 with you. 13I considerG2233 it 14rightG1342, as longG3745 as I amG1510 in 15thisG3778 earthly dwellingG4638, to 16stirG1326 you up by wayG1722 of reminderG5280, 14knowingG3609 that 17the layingG595 asideG595 of my earthly dwellingG4638 is imminentG5031, 18as alsoG2532 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 has madeG1213 clearG1213 to me. 15And I will alsoG2532 be diligentG4704 that at anyG1539 timeG1539 afterG3326 my 19departureG1841 you will be ableG2192 to callG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to mindG3420.
