I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as if present at the second time, and, being now absent, I write to those who heretofore have sinned, and to all the rest; that, if I come again, I will not spare;

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to the sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

I stir

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

For which cause, I put you in remembrance that you stir into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of hands.

Pure

"Happy are the pure in heart; because they shall see God.

Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep yourself pure.

Having purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart earnestly;

Way

Wherefore, I shall be always ready to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and have become confirmed in the present truth.
