for I know that I must soon put it away, as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.

You must understand this in the first place, that no prophecy in Scripture can be understood through one's own powers,

First of all, you must understand this, that in the last days mockers will come with their mockeries, going where their passions lead

So you, dear friends, now that you are forewarned, must be on your guard against being led away by the errors of unprincipled men and losing your present firmness.

You must grow in the blessing and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory to him now and forever.
