2 Peter 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 For he that hath not these things, is blind, and [a]cannot see far off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 [b]Wherefore, brethren, give rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.
11 For by this means an entering shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
