I want to remind you of some things you already know: Remember that the Lord saved his people by bringing them out of the land of Egypt. But later he destroyed all those who did not believe.
So he swore to them that they would die in the desert.
On that same day the Lord led the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
But I have written to you very openly about some things I wanted you to remember. I did this because God gave me this special gift:
But you still did not trust the Lord your God, even though
Who heard God’s voice and was against him? It was all those people Moses led out of Egypt.
My friends, this is the second letter I have written you to help your honest minds remember.
You have the gift that the Holy One gave you, so you all know the truth.
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth but because you do know the truth. And you know that no lie comes from the truth.
