10 And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; 11 but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment,
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
