← 2 Peter 1:9	2 Peter 1:10 (KJV)	2 Peter 1:11 →
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.	Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:	For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
