2 Peter 1:12-15
Wycliffe Bible
12 For which thing I shall begin to admonish you evermore of these things; and I will that ye be knowing, and confirmed in this present truth.
13 Forsooth I deem justly [Forsooth I deem just], as long as I am in this tabernacle, to raise you in admonishing;
14 and I am certain, that the putting away [for the putting off] of my tabernacle is swift, by this that our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed to me.
15 But I shall give busyness, that oft after my death ye have mind of these things.

New Matthew Bible
12 And so I will not be negligent to put you always in mind of such things, though you know them yourselves, and are also established in the present truth. 13 Notwithstanding, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance. 14 For I am sure that the time is at hand that I must put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. 15 I will do my best to ensure, therefore, that on every side you have something with which to stir up the remembrance of these things after my departing.

1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though that ye have knowledge, and be established in the present truth.
13 For I think it meet as long as I am in this [b]tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance,
14 Seeing I know that the time is at hand that I must lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath (A)showed me.
15 (B)I will endeavor therefore always, that ye also may be able to have remembrance of these things after my departing.

Authorized (King James) Version
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
