The letter depicts Christian maturity as a deliberate progress in virtues that keeps believers fruitful and stable. Growth strengthens assurance and perseverance, helping believers avoid being ineffective or falling away.
10Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11For thus will be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
5Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;
6and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;
7and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
8For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
11Therefore since all these things are thus to be destroyed, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy living and godliness,
18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
