2 Peter 1:10

6and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;

7and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

8For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

10Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

11For thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

12Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth.

13I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

14knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
