| 12 | Therefore I intend always to remind you of these things, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. |
| 13 | I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to arouse you by way of reminder, |
| 14 | since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. |
| 15 | And I will see to it that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall 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 were eyewitnesses of his majesty. |
