Context of 2 Peter 1:11

9But concerning the one who lacks such things – he is blind. That is to say, he is nearsighted, since he has forgotten about the cleansing of his past sins. 10Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to be sure of your calling and election. For by doing this you will never stumble into sin. For thus an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be richly provided for you. 12Therefore, I intend to remind you constantly of these things even though you know them and are well established in the truth that you now have. 13Indeed, as long as I am in this tabernacle, I consider it right to stir you up by way of a reminder,
