2 Peter 1:8-10

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.
