2Pe 1:10. Μᾶλλον, the more) They who have diligence ought to have more.-ἀδελφοὶ, brethren) Peter never employs this address in the former Epistle, he uses it once only in the latter: from which the weightiness of this passage is plainly seen.-βεβαίαν, firm) This confirmation takes place by means of virtue, moderation, abstinence, etc.; and therefore there follows immediately, for if ye do these things. Comp. Heb 6:10.-βεβαίαν ὑμῶν τὴν κλῆσιν καὶ ἐκλογην, your calling and election firm) that is, yourselves firm in your calling and election. For the confirmation belongs to those to whom the falling would otherwise belong. The calling is put before the election, as far as relates to us.
