2 Peter 1:12-14

Salvation Based on the Word of God

1:12 Therefore, I intend to remind you constantly ¹  of these things even though you know them and are well established in the truth that you now have. 1:13 Indeed, as long as I am in this tabernacle, ²  I consider it right to stir you up by way of a reminder, 1:14 since I know that my tabernacle will soon be removed, ³  because ⁴  our Lord Jesus Christ revealed this to me. ⁵ 

[1:12]  ¹ tn Grk “always.”

[1:13]  ² tn Or “tent.” The author uses this as a metaphor for his physical body.

[1:14]  ³ tn Grk “since I know that the removal of my tabernacle is [coming] soon.”

[1:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “just as.”

[1:14]  ⁵ sn When the author says our Lord Jesus Christ revealed this to me, he is no doubt referring to the prophecy that is partially recorded in John 21:18-19.
