penman of this epistle appears plainly to be the same who wrote the
|
||
|
|
foregoing; and, whatever difference some learned men apprehend they
|
||
|
|
discern in the style of this epistle from that of the former, this
|
||
|
|
cannot be a sufficient argument to assert that it was written by Simon
|
||
|
|
who succeeded the apostle James in the church at Jerusalem, inasmuch as
|
||
|
|
he who wrote this epistle calls himself <I>Simon Peter, and an
|
||
|
|
apostle</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Pe+1:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A></A>),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and says that he was <I>one of the three apostles that were present at
|
||
|
|
Christ's transfiguration</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Pe+1:18"><I>v.</I> 18</A></A>),
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and says expressly <I>that he had written a former epistle to them,</I>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Pe+3:1"><I>ch.</I> iii. 1</A>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The design of this second epistle is the same with that of the former,
|
||
|
|
as is evident from the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Pe+3:1">first verse of the third chapter</A>,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
whence observe that, in the things of God, we have need of <I>precept
|
||
|
|
upon precept, and line upon line,</I> and all little enough to keep
|
||
|
|
them in remembrance; and yet these are the things which should be most
|
||
|
|
faithfully recorded and frequently remembered by us.</P>
