What Does 2 Peter 1:13 Mean I think it is rightPeter is convinced that reminding believers of gospel truths is not merely helpful but morally appropriate. • His conviction echoes Acts 4:19, where the apostles insist on doing what is “right in God’s sight.” • Philippians 3:1 shows Paul sharing the same outlook: “To write you again about this is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you.” The apostle models a shepherd’s responsibility: when God gives truth, withholding it would be wrong. as long as I live Peter links his ongoing ministry to the span of his earthly life. • Philippians 1:24-25 reflects the same heartbeat—remaining alive is “more necessary” for the church’s progress and joy. • Psalm 146:2 demonstrates that purposeful living centers on what honors God “all my life.” The verse underlines the stewardship of every remaining day: time is a limited gift to be spent serving others in the faith. in the tent of my body Peter views his physical body as a temporary shelter. • 2 Corinthians 5:1 describes our “earthly tent” that will be replaced by an eternal house from God. • Psalm 39:4-5 reminds believers of life’s brevity, reinforcing the image of a fragile dwelling. Seeing the body as a tent keeps priorities eternal: mission over comfort, holiness over self-indulgence. to refresh your memory The goal of Peter’s persistence is the spiritual recall of his readers. • 2 Peter 1:12, immediately prior, states, “I will always remind you of these things.” • Jude 5 similarly says, “Though you already know all this, I want to remind you.” Regular reminders safeguard against drift, strengthen assurance, and stir obedience. Practical application: – Review foundational doctrines often (1 Timothy 4:6). – Rehearse God’s past faithfulness to fuel present trust (Psalm 77:11-12). – Share testimonies that anchor one another in the truth (Hebrews 10:24-25). summary 2 Peter 1:13 shows an apostle convinced it is morally right to keep believers anchored in truth while life lasts. Recognizing his body as a temporary tent, Peter commits every remaining day to reminding the church of what God has said, confident that continual recall guards and grows faith until the eternal home is reached. (13) Yea, I think it meet.--Better, But I think it right. So Rheims; Tyndale and Cranmer have "notwithstanding." The meaning is, "but (so far from my writing being unnecessary) I think it right," &c.In this tabernacle.--The comparison of the human body to a dwelling is common in all literatures, and the temporary nature of a tent makes it specially appropriate. (Comp. 2Corinthians 5:1.) By putting you in remembrance.--Better, in putting you. The stirring up consists in the reminding. (See 2Peter 1:1-2; 2Peter 1:4; also 2Peter 3:1, where the same phrase occurs.) Verse 13. - Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle; rather, as in the Revised Version, and I think it right. The natural body is but a tabernacle for the soul, a tent to dwell in during our earthly pilgrimage, not a permanent habitation. The word reminds us of 2 Corinthians 5:1-4, where St. Paul uses the same metaphor; and also of St. Peter's words at the Transfiguration, "Let us make three tabernacles." To stir you up by putting you in remembrance; literally, to arouse you in reminding. The phrase occurs again in 2 Peter 3:1. St. Peter's readers knew the facts of the gospel history; they needed, as we all need, to be aroused to a sense of the solemn responsibilities which that knowledge involves.Parallel Commentaries ...
