2 Petrus 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Peter 1:13

Yea, I think it meet
Or "just". This is the apostle's other reason for his conduct, taken from the duty of his place and office; judging it to be what became him as an apostle and elder, and the minister of the circumcision, and was what was due to God and Christ, whom he served, and the souls of men under his care:

as long as I am in this tabernacle:
or "body", as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions render it, and so some copies; for the body is as a tabernacle for the soul to dwell in, pitched for a time, and, ere long, to be taken down; (See Gill on 2 Corinthians 5:1),

to stir you up;
to the lively exercise of grace, and constant performance of duty: by putting you in remembrance: of the said things; for saints are apt to be forgetful of their duty, and backward to it, and sluggish and slothful in it.

2 Petrus 1:13 In-Context

11 Denn also wird euch reichlich dargereicht werden der Eingang in das ewige Reich unseres Herrn und Heilandes Jesus Christus.

12 Deshalb will ich Sorge tragen, euch immer an diese Dinge zu erinnern, wiewohl ihr sie wisset und in der gegenwärtigen Wahrheit befestigt seid.

13 Ich halte es aber für recht, solange ich in dieser Hütte bin, euch durch Erinnerung aufzuwecken,

14 da ich weiß, daß das Ablegen meiner Hütte bald geschieht, wie auch unser Herr Jesus Christus mir kundgetan hat.

15 Ich will mich aber befleißigen, daß ihr auch zu jeder Zeit nach meinem Abschiede imstande seid, euch diese Dinge ins Gedächtnis zu rufen.
