New International Version NIV
13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to refresh your memory,
13
I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
14 since I know that my death will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
14
because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.
15
And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
16
For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
