and you by God's power are being protected through faith to receive a salvation that is now ready to be disclosed at the last time.

and like new-born babes crave the pure spiritual milk that will make you grow up to salvation,

But the end of all things is near. Be serious and collected, therefore, and pray.

By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I think him, I have written you this short letter to encourage you and bear my testimony that this is what the true mercy of God means. Stand fast in it.
