2 Peter 1:8-11
English Standard Version
8 For if these qualities[a] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or (A)unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he (B)is blind, having forgotten that he was (C)cleansed from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers,[b] be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and (D)election, for if you practice these qualities (E)you will never fall. 11 For in this way there will be richly provided for you (F)an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
