关于彼得后书

Second Peter is the sixty-first book of the Bible, written by the apostle Peter around AD 64-68 (shortly before his martyrdom under Nero) and spanning 3 chapters. Where First Peter addresses external persecution, Second Peter addresses the internal danger of false teachers infiltrating the church with destructive heresies and immoral lifestyles. Peter writes with the urgency of a man making his final testament, aware that his death is near, and provides three tools for standing firm: remembering the eyewitness testimony of the apostles, holding fast to the prophetic scriptures, and recognizing the characteristics of false teachers. The final chapter addresses skepticism about the delay of Christ's return. Major themes include growth in the knowledge of Christ as protection against error, the reliability of apostolic eyewitness testimony and prophetic scripture, the certain judgment of false teachers, and the patience of God in delaying judgment to allow more people to come to repentance. Key chapters include 2 Peter 1 (making one's calling and election sure, the transfiguration as eyewitness confirmation), 2 Peter 2 (the characteristics and judgment of false teachers), and 2 Peter 3 (the Day of the Lord). Famous verses include 2 Peter 3:9 -- The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise...He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish -- and 2 Peter 1:21 -- Prophecy never had its origin in the human will. Second Peter KJV Bible reading guards the church against false teaching. Read the Book of 2 Peter online here in full.

Its final chapter answers skeptics questioning why Christ's return had been delayed, explaining God's patience as an opportunity for more people to repent. Read together with 1 Corinthians and Romans, it reinforces the apostolic consensus on sound teaching.
