Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.

So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choice of you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;

Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:

Dear friends, you have already been warned about this. So be on your guard. Then you won’t be led astray by people who don’t obey the law. Instead, you will remain safe.

Some people come and listen to me and do what I say. I will show you what they are like.They are like a man who builds a house. He digs down deep and sets it on solid rock. When a flood comes, the river rushes against the house. But the water can’t shake it. The house is well built.But here is what happens when people listen to my words and do not obey them. They are like a man who builds a house on soft ground instead of solid rock. The moment the river rushes against that house, it falls down. It is completely destroyed.”

We want each of you to be faithful to the very end. If you are, then what you hope for will fully happen.

It is surely true that he is my rock and the God who saves me. He is like a fort to me, so I will always be secure.

Here’s how we know that we hold to the truth. And here’s how we put our hearts at rest, knowing that God is watching.If our hearts judge us, we know that God is greater than our hearts. And he knows everything.Dear friends, if our hearts do not judge us, we can be bold with God.

The people of Jerusalem say,“ Don’t laugh when we suffer, you enemies of ours! We have fallen. But we’ll get up. Even though we sit in the dark, the Lord will give us light.

It is surely true that he is my rock. He is the God who saves me. He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure.

Those who do what is right will always be secure. They will be remembered forever.

He won’t let your foot slip. He who watches over you won’t get tired.

So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge.

But God’s solid foundation stands firm. Here is the message written on it.“ The Lord knows who his own people are.”( Numbers 16:5) Also,“ All who say they believe in the Lord must turn away from evil.”

“ So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.

Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. That’s because God chose you as the first to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth.He chose you to be saved by accepting the good news that we preach. And you will share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We remember you when we pray to our God and Father. Your work is produced by your faith. Your service is the result of your love. Your strength to continue comes from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.Brothers and sisters, you are loved by God. We know that he has chosen you.

But my life means nothing to me. My only goal is to finish the race. I want to complete the work the Lord Jesus has given me. He wants me to tell others about the good news of God’s grace.“ I have spent time with you preaching about the kingdom. I know that none of you will ever see me again.

“ Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will have the right to come to the tree of life. They will be allowed to go through the gates into the city.

Blessed is the person who does what I want them to. They are faithful in keeping the Sabbath day. They do not misuse it. They do not do what is evil on that day.”

Through faith you are kept safe by God’s power. Your salvation is going to be completed. It is ready to be shown to you in the last days.

You have kept my command to remain strong in the faith no matter what happens. So I will keep you from the time of suffering. That time is going to come to the whole world. It will test those who live on the earth.‘ I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have. Then no one will take away your crown.

Even if that person trips, he won’t fall. The Lord’ s hand takes good care of him.

You have been chosen in keeping with what God the Father had planned. That happened through the Spirit’s work to make you pure and holy. God chose you so that you might obey Jesus Christ. God wanted you to be in a covenant relationship with him. He established this relationship by the blood of Christ. May more and more grace and peace be given to you.

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. He appointed them to be saved in keeping with his purpose.God planned that those he had chosen would become like his Son. In that way, Christ will be the first and most honored among many brothers and sisters.And those God has planned for, he has also appointed to be saved. Those he has appointed, he has made right with himself. To those he has made right with himself, he has given his glory.What should we say then? Since God is on our side, who can be against us?

Our hope is certain. It is something for the soul to hold on to. It is strong and secure. It goes all the way into the Most Holy Room behind the curtain.

They lend their money to poor people without charging interest. They don’t accept money to harm those who aren’t guilty. Anyone who lives like that will always be secure.
