This, already, beloved, is the second letter I am writing unto you; and, in these letters, I am stirring up—by way of calling to remembrance—your uncorrupted mind,
I have said beforehand, and do say beforehand,—as present the second time, although now absent, unto them who before sinned, and unto all the rest,—that, if I come again, I will not spare.
Ye, therefore, beloved, taking note beforehand, be on your guard, lest, with the error of the impious being led away, ye fall from your own steadfastness;
I am minded, therefore, to put you in remembrance,—though ye know all things once for all, That the Lord, when a people out of Egypt he had saved, in, the next place, them that believed not, destroyed.
