New King James Version
2 Peter 1:8-11
New King James Version
8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [a]barren (A)nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is (B)shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent (C)to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive(A) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.(B) 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,(C) forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.(D)
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling(E) and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,(F) 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom(G) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(H)
