διὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό μελλήσω ἀεί ὑμᾶς ὑπομιμνῄσκειν περί τούτων καίπερ εἰδότας καί ἐστηριγμένους ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ἀληθείᾳ)

Connecting Statement:

Peter uses Therefore to introduce the purpose of his letter. In order to encourage his readers to do everything he has said in [1:5–10](../01/05.md), and especially because of the promise in [1:11](../01/11.md), he wants to keep reminding them about these things. Use a natural form in your language to show that this introduces a result or purpose for saying what came before. Alternate translation: [Because these things are very important]
