ACC ~ 2 Peter 1 v10

GROW IN FAITH. HILARY OF ARLES: Peter is telling us that we should not be content with our baptism but should go on and grow in our faith. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.

STAND FAST. ANDREAS: Lest you be judged unmindful of God’s gift, you must stand fast, having a sure calling. CATENA.

MAKE YOUR CALLING CERTAIN. BEDE: Jesus said: “Many are called but few are chosen.” The calling of all those who come to faith is certain, but those who consistently add good works to the sacraments of faith which they have received are the ones who make their calling and election certain in the eyes of those who observe them. The opposite is also true, for those who go back to their crimes after they have been called and who die in their sins make it clear to everyone that they are damned. ON 2 PETER.

PRACTICE VIRTUE TO AVOID FALLING. OECUMENIUS: What are we supposed to do in order to avoid falling? The answer is clear from what is written above—we are to practice virtue, knowledge, temperance and so on. COMMENTARY ON 2 PETER.
