Verse 10.— Wherefore the rather, brethren. For the reason that, by adding the qualities named, you are fruitful, and for the further reason that, if you are wanting in these qualities, you are rendered morally blind, deficient in vision, and even faulty in memory, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election to eternal life sure. For if ye do these things. Observing and doing the things named, which I have been careful to enumerate, you shall never fall. No danger of defective vision or of filing memory.
