2 Peter 1:15

13 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.

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.

17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
