I told you before, and tell you beforehand, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which have sinned before, and to all others, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that Yahweh, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
