2 Peter 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ For anyone who lacks these things is short-sighted and blind, and is forgetful of the cleansing of past sins. ¹⁰ Therefore, brothers and sisters,^[a] be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble.
