About This Book

An apostle writes to fellow believers urging spiritual growth through virtues such as faith, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love, and reminds them of eyewitness testimony to Christ's majesty and the divine origin of prophecy. He warns against false teachers who promote immorality and greed, recounts examples of divine judgment on sin, and cautions that those who fall back into corruption fare worse than before. The letter concludes with reflections on the assurance of Christ's coming, the patience of God in delaying judgment, and practical exhortations to remain steadfast and holy.
