2 Peter 1:10-19
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
10 Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth.
13 But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
14 Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
15 And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
16 For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
17 For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
18 And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

2 Peter 1:10-19
New International Version
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling(A) and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,(B) 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom(C) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(D)
Prophecy of Scripture
12 So I will always remind you of these things,(E) even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth(F) you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory(G) as long as I live in the tent of this body,(H) 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside,(I) as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.(J) 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure(K) you will always be able to remember these things.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power,(L) but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.(M) 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”[b](N) 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.(O)
19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable,(P) and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light(Q) shining in a dark place, until the day dawns(R) and the morning star(S) rises in your hearts.(T)
