rwp @2Peter:3:1 @{Beloved } (\agap ˆtoi \). With this vocative verbal (four times in this chapter ), Peter "turns away from the Libertines and their victims " (Mayor ). {This is now the second epistle that I write unto you } (\taut ˆn ˆd ˆ deuteran humin graph “ epistol ˆn \). Literally , "This already a second epistle I am writing to you ." For \ˆd ˆ\ see strkjv @John:21:24 |. It is the predicate use of \deuteran epistol ˆn \ in apposition with \taut ˆn \, not "this second epistle ." Reference apparently to I Peter . {And in both of them } (\en hais \). "In which epistles ." {I stir up } (\diegeir “\). Present active indicative , perhaps conative , "I try to stir up ." See strkjv @1:13 |. {Mind } (\dianoian \). Understanding (Plato ) as in strkjv @1Peter:1:13 |. {Sincere } (\eilikrin ˆ\). Old adjective of doubtful etymology (supposed to be \heil ˆ\, sunlight , and \krin “\, to judge by it ). Plato used it of ethical purity (\psuch ˆ eilikrin ˆs \) as here and strkjv @Phillipians:1:10 |, the only N .T . examples . {By putting you in remembrance } (\en hupomn ˆsei \). As in strkjv @1:13 |.
