2 Peter 1:14

Jesus
Death and lossJesus 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.

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

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.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
