Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be all the more in earnest to make certain to yourselves God's call and choice of you. For if you cultivate these qualities, you will never slip, ¹¹ for it is in this way that to you will be generously granted a triumphant admittance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Therefore, I will always remind you of these things, although you know them and are firmly grounded in the truth that you already have.
