10. Therefore, brothers, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble.
11. For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.
12. Therefore I will always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you have.
13. I consider it right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to wake you up with a reminder,
14. knowing that I will soon lay aside my tent, as our Lord Jesus Christ has also shown me.
15. And I will also make every effort that you may be able to recall these things at any time after my departure.
16. For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
