2 Peter 1:12

God's word

10 Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble,

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

Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.

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

14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
