10. My brothers and sisters, God called you and chose you to be his. Do your best to live in a way that shows you really are God’s called and chosen people. If you do all this, you will never fall.
11. And you will be given a very great welcome into the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, a kingdom that never ends.
12. You already know these things. You are very strong in the truth you have. But I am always going to help you remember them.
13. While I am still living here on earth, I think it is right for me to remind you of them.
14. I know that I must soon leave this body. Our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that.
