2 Peter 1:12-15

Expanded Bible

¹² You know these things, and you are ·very strong [established] in the truth [that has come to you; that you now have], but I will always ·help you remember [remind you of] them. ¹³ I think it is right for me to ·help you remember [^Larouse you with a reminder] as long as I am in this ·body [^Ltent; ^Ca metaphor for the transitory earthly body]. ¹⁴ I know I must soon ·leave this body [^Lput off my tent; ^Cdie; 1:13; 2 Cor. 5:1, 4], as our Lord Jesus Christ ·has shown [made clear to] me [John 21:18]. ¹⁵ I will ·try my best [make every effort; strive] so that you may be able [^Lalways] to remember these things even after ·I am gone [^Lmy departure; ^CPeter’s death].
