built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

This was not made known to people in other generations as it is now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:

And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

so that you can remember the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.

But you, dear friends, remember what was predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

God

They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?”

because His judgments are true and righteous,
because He has judged the notorious prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;
and He has avenged the blood of His slaves
that was on her hands.

I will make My arrows drunk with blood
while My sword devours flesh—
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”

God—He gives me vengeance
and subdues peoples under me.

Lord, God of vengeance—
God of vengeance, appear.

For look, the Lord is coming from His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
The earth will reveal the blood shed on it
and will no longer conceal her slain.

Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’

Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay to help them?

a time of paying back Edom
