2 to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior spoken[a] through your apostles.
3 First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us[b] 4 by saying, “What happened to the Messiah’s[c] promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died,[d] everything continues as it did from the beginning of creation.”
