¹² Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with `you'.

²¹ I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

⁵ Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

¹ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.

¹⁴ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

¹⁵ But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,

¹⁷ But ye, beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

² for the truth's sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever:

¹³ And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

³ Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.

¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloved, knowing `these things' beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness.

¹ This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;

¹⁵ Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.

¹² By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account `him', I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand ye fast therein.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.

⁹ Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited.

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

⁶ For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

⁶ If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed `until now':

⁷ rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

⁵ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
