Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.
So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me
In spite of this, you did not trust in the Lord your God,
Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.
