2 Peter 1:12-16

12You already know these things. You know that they are completely true. But because they are important, I will continue to tell you about them again and again.

13While I am still alive on this earth I will continue to make sure that you remember them. I think that it is right for me to do that.

14I know that I will die soon. Our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that clearly.

15After I am no longer with you, I want you still to remember what I have told you. So I will make sure that you have something to help you not to forget.

16We told you that our Lord Jesus Christ is powerful. We also told you that he will return to earth again. We were not telling you false stories that came from people's clever ideas. Instead, we were telling you what we ourselves had seen. We ourselves saw that the Lord Jesus is very great.
