15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
15 And so I am especially eager that you have all this down in black and white so that after I die, you'll have it for ready reference.
15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.
15 so I will work hard to make sure you always remember these things after I am gone.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Peter 1:15
Commentary on 2 Peter 1:12-15
(Read 2 Peter 1:12-15)
We must be established in the belief of the truth, that we may not be shaken by every wind of doctrine; and especially in the truth necessary for us to know in our day, what belongs to our peace, and what is opposed in our time. The body is but a tabernacle, or tent, of the soul. It is a mean and movable dwelling. The nearness of death makes the apostle diligent in the business of life. Nothing can so give composure in the prospect, or in the hour, of death, as to know that we have faithfully and simply followed the Lord Jesus, and sought his glory. Those who fear the Lord, talk of his loving-kindness. This is the way to spread the knowledge of the Lord; and by the written word, they are enabled to do this.
