I said before, and now say beforehand, as when present the second time, so also absent now, to those who have sinned before, and to all the others, that if I come again, I will not spare;

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

I stir

Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;

For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;

Pure

Blessed are the pure in heart; for they will see God.

Lay hands hastily on no one, neither share in other mens sins. Keep thyself pure.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart, fervently;

Way

Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.
