but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be always prepared for giving an answer, with meekness and reverence, to every one who asks of you a reason for the hope which is in you.

Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, and are established in the present truth.

Therefore, I will carefully endeavor that you may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.
