9. But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10. Therefore rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall:
11. For so an entrance shall be provided unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
12. Therefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13. Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14. Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has showed me.
