Study Lenses

The verse centers on "wherefore", "shall", "ready", "always", "remembrance", "things", "though", and "established". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "wherefore" and "shall", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 11's "for thus shall be richly supplied unto..." into verse 13's "And I think it right as long...", so "wherefore" and "shall" belong inside that flow. In 2 Peter context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "wherefore" and "shall" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
