Nearby Context

2 Peter 1:13 I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder,

2 Peter 1:14 knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has indicated to me.

2 Peter 1:15 And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

2 Peter 1:16 For we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cleverly devised myths, but being eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "diligent", "time", "after", "departure", "able", "call", "things", and "mind". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "diligent" and "time", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 14's "knowing that the laying aside of my..." into verse 16's "For we did not make known to...", so "diligent" and "time" 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 "diligent" and "time" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
