Now I want to remind you of what you are perfectly aware, that though the Lord once brought the People safe out of Egypt, he subsequently destroyed the unbelieving,
Who heard and yet provoked him? Was it not all who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
This is the second letter I have already written to you, beloved, stirring up your pure mind by way of reminder,
Still, by way of refreshing your memory, I have written you with a certain freedom, in virtue of my divine commission
Now, you have been anointed by the holy One, and you all possess knowledge.
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie has any connexion with the truth.
