2Peter

The Second Epistle of Peter and 2Timothy have much in common. In both Epistles the writers are awaiting martyrdom (2Tim.4:6;2Pet.1:14;cp.Jn.21:18-19);both are joyful in tone; both foresee the departure from the faith that will culminate during "the last days"(2:1-3:9;2Tim.3). A similar emphasis upon the peril of false teaching is found in 1Jn.4:1-5,in 2Jn.7-11, and in Jude. The thrust of the Epistle is the eloquent and comprehensive denunciation of heresy in doctrine and life (2:1-3:3). But there are other important matters in the letter also: Peter's insistence upon the validation of the Christian's "calling and election" by the practice of Christian virtues (1:4-14); his personal recollection of the transfiguration of Christ (1:15-18); his teaching about the inspired authenticity of prophecy (1:19-21) and the coming of the Lord (3:4-13); and his exhortations to spiritual diligence and steadfastness (3:14-17).
