2 Peter
King James Version (KJV)


“This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:”
King James Version (KJV)
3:2-3 Be the more mindful thereof, because ye know scoffers will come first - Before the Lord comes. Walking after their own evil desires - Here is the origin of the error, the root of libertinism. Do we not see this eminently fulfilled?
