2 Peter 1:13

11 and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

12 Therefore I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.

I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of my body,

14 because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

15 And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure, you will be able to recall these things at all times.
