2 Peter 1:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Give diligence; viz. in the exercise of the forementioned graces. To make your calling, your effectual calling to the faith of Christ, and election, your eternal election to grace and glory, sure, not in respect of God, whose counsel is in itself sure and stable, Romans 11:29 2 Timothy 2:19; but in respect of yourselves, who may best discern the cause by its effects, and so your election by your good works to which you were chosen, Ephesians 1:4, and which prove your calling, (as being the proper genuine fruits of it, Ephesians 4:1,2, &c.), as that doth election, from whence it proceeds, Acts 13:48 Romans 8:30. For if ye do these things, the things prescribed, 2 Peter 1:5-7, ye shall never fall; not wholly apostatize from God's ways, nor so fall through temptation into any sin, as not to recover out of it.
