8
For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9
For whoever lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10
Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;
11
so there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
