For these things existing and increasing in you cause you to be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

\w For|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w these|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w things|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w existing|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w increasing|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w cause|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w be|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w neither|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w barren|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w nor|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w unfruitful|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w knowledge|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w our|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Lord|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Jesus|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Christ|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

For he in whom these things are not present is blind, nearsighted, having received forgetfulness of the cleansing of his past sins.

\w For|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w he|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w whom|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w these|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w things|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w are|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w not|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w present|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w is|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w blind|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w nearsighted|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w having|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w received|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w forgetfulness|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w cleansing|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w his|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w past|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w sins|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

Therefore, brothers, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things, you will certainly not ever stumble.

\w Therefore|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w brothers|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w be|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w even|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w more|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w diligent|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w make|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w your|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w calling|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w election|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w sure|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w for|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w doing|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w these|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w things|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w you|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w will|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w certainly|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w not|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w ever|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w stumble|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

For in this way will be richly provided to you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

\w For|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w this|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w way|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w will|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w be|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w richly|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w provided|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w entrance|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w into|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w eternal|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w kingdom|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w of|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w our|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Lord|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Savior|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Jesus|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w Christ|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you about these things, although you have known them and have been established in the present truth.

\w Therefore|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w I|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w will|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w always|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w be|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w ready|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w to|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w remind|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w about|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w these|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w things|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*, \w although|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w you|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w have|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w known|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w them|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w and|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w have|x-occurrence="2" x-occurrences="2"\w* \w been|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w established|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w in|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w the|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w present|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w* \w truth|x-occurrence="1" x-occurrences="1"\w*.

knowing that the putting off of my tent is imminent, just as also our Lord Jesus Christ revealed this to me.

Likewise, I will be diligent to cause you to always have the remembrance of these things after my departure.

For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by having followed cleverly invented myths, but by having become eyewitnesses of the majesty of that one.
