ESV 12 Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. MSG 12 Because the stakes are so high, even though you're up-to-date on all this truth and practice it inside and out, I'm not going to let up for a minute in calling you to attention before it. ESV 13 I think it right, as long as I am in this body,to stir you up by way of reminder, MSG 13 This is the post to which I've been assigned - keeping you alert with frequent reminders - and I'm sticking to it as long as I live. ESV 14 since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. MSG 14 I know that I'm to die soon; the Master has made that quite clear to me. ESV 15 And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. MSG 15 And so I am especially eager that you have all this down in black and white so that after I die, you'll have it for ready reference.
