2 Peter 1:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor (A)unproductive in the true (B)knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For the one who lacks these qualities is (C)blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his (D)purification from his former sins. 10 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make certain about His (E)calling and (F)choice of you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never (G)stumble; 11 for in this way the entrance into (H)the eternal kingdom of our (I)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be (J)abundantly (K)supplied to you.

2 Peter 1:8-11
New International Version
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive(A) in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.(B) 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,(C) forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.(D)
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling(E) and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,(F) 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom(G) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(H)
