Revised Standard Version RSV

7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.

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.

12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder,

14 since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

15 And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17 For when he received honor and glory from God the Father and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"

11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,

14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
