I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.

Peter, apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

I stir

But I account it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance,

For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

Pure

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

{A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are of a pure heart.

Blessed the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Lay hands quickly on no man, nor partake in others' sins. Keep thyself pure.

Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently;

Way

Wherefore I will be careful to put you always in mind of these things, although knowing them and established in the present truth.
