So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful.
Therefore, he solemnly swore that he would kill them in the wilderness,
On that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt like an army.
Even so, I have been bold enough to write about some of these points, knowing that all you need is this reminder. For by God’s grace,
“But even after all he did, you refused to trust the Lord your God,
And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard his voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt?
This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory.
But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit, and all of you know the truth.
So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies.
