9. For he in whom these are not present is blind, being shortsighted, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his old sins.
10. For this reason, brothers, all the more do your utmost to make firm your calling and choosing, for if you are doing these matters you shall never stumble at all,
11. for in this way an entrance into the everlasting reign of our Master and Saviour יהושע Messiah shall be richly supplied to you.
12. And so I intend to remind you of these matters again and again, though you know them and have been established in the present truth.
13. But I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by a reminder,
14. knowing that the putting off of my tent is soon, even as our Master יהושע Messiah made clear to me.
15. And I shall do my utmost also, to see to it that you always have a reminder of these matters after my departure.
16. For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we made known to you the power and coming of our Master יהושע Messiah, but were eye-witnesses of His superbness.
17. For when He received respect and esteem from Elohim the Father, such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Esteem, “This is My Son, the Beloved in whom I did delight.”
18. And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the set-apart mountain.
19. And we have the prophetic word made more certain, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts,
20. knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture came to be of one’s own interpretation,
21. for prophecy never came by the desire of man, but men of Elohim spoke, being moved by the Set-apart Spirit.
