Verse 11
"This" refers to the duties urged earlier, not only in this chapter but in chapter 12 also. It is important that we follow God’s will carefully because the final phase of our salvation will take place very soon (i.e., glorification, cf. 1 Peter 1:9). We must be ready to meet the Lord and to give an account of our stewardship to Him (cf. Romans 14:10; Philippians 3:20; 1 Thessalonians 5:6; 1 Corinthians 15:34). It is possible for us to go through our lives as believers lethargic and insensible, but such a condition is not wise in view of what lies ahead of us.
