2 Peter 1:9

7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and ^ato brotherly kindness love.

8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither¹ barren ^anor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 For he who lacks these things is ^ashortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

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

11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

<< 2 Peter 1:8

2 Peter 1:10 >>

II Peter 1:9 He that lacketh these things. The qualities named in II Peter 1:5-7. Is blind. Shows that he has a defective moral vision. And cannot see afar off. Is short sighted; does not see what his future good requires. And hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. If he could remember how he was cleansed from his own sinful state, he would show greater diligence lest he should again fall into sin.
