1My much-loved ones, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both letters to stir up your memories and awaken good thoughts.
2I want you to remember the things foretold by the holy prophets of old and the instructions given by the message bearers of our Honored Chief and Sacred Deliverer.
3I want to remind you, first of all, that in the last days there will come scoffers who will laugh with scorn. Following their own bad hearts,
4they will say things like , “Where is he? Did he not promise to appear again? Our fathers have walked on since then, but all things remain the same as they were at the creation of the world.”
5But they choose to ignore the truth that long ago, when Creator spoke his word, the universe came into existence, and the land was brought forth from water and by water.
6It was also through water that the ancient world was brought to an end by a great flood.
7By the same word, the skies above and the earth below that now exist will be brought to an end by fire. They will remain until the great day of deciding arrives, which will bring an end to those who walk in evil ways.
8But do not forget this one thing, my much-loved friends: with the Great Spirit there is no difference between one day or one thousand winters.
9So then , our Honored Chief is not slow in keeping his promise, even if some see it that way. Instead , he is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to come to a bad end. He wants all people to return to the right way of thinking.
10But you can be sure that the day of our Honored Chief will come. It will come without warning , like a thief. Then with a loud sound like rushing wind, the skies above will come to an end. The elemental things will melt away in the fierce heat. And the earth and the things done on it will be laid bare.[#3:10 Some manuscripts read burned up.]
11Seeing that all these things will come to an end in this manner, you should be a people who walk a sacred path that brings honor to the Great Spirit.
12Keep walking in this way as you wait for the coming day of Creator, doing what you can to help it come more quickly. When that day comes, the skies above will burn away, and the elemental things will melt in the fierce heat.
13But we are looking to what the Great Spirit has promised—a new spirit-world above and a new earth below where all people will walk in his right ways.
14So then, my much-loved friends, since you are looking for these things, make it your aim to be found by him walking in peace, having no spot or stain on your souls .
15Remember, the reason our Honored Chief is being patient is to give more time for people to trust him to rescue them from what is coming. This is what our much-loved spiritual brother Small Man (Paul) wrote to you about, through the wisdom he was given.
16He writes about these things in all his letters. Some of the things he writes about are hard to understand. In their ignorance, people who have lost their spiritual balance misrepresent these teachings, as they do other sacred teachings, to their own bad end.
17So then, my much-loved friends, since I have warned you ahead of time, stay alert! Then none of these bent and twisted people will lead you down the wrong path and cause you to lose your own spiritual balance.
18Instead, keep growing in the gift of great kindness and knowledge that is yours through our Honored Chief and Sacred Deliverer, Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One.
To him be all honor and bright-shining greatness, both now and to the time beyond the end of all days.
