2 Peter 1:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this “tent,”[a] to stir you up by a reminder, 14 since I know that I will soon have to put it aside, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.(A) 15 I shall also make every effort to enable you always to remember these things after my departure.

2 Peter 1:13-15
English Standard Version
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this (A)body,[a] (B)to stir you up by way of reminder, 14 (C)since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, (D)as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
