2 Peter 1:13

I think. Gr. hegeomai, originally, “to go before [another],” “to step out in front,” later, “to deem,” “to consider.” The apostle deems it his duty to step out prominently to warn the church by stirring up the members’ minds. This was a duty in which he did not dare fail.

Meet. Or, “right,” “just,” in reference to his duty.

Tabernacle. Or, “tent,” conveying the idea of a temporary dwelling. Peter is thinking of his mortal, material body as but a temporary thing eventually to be replaced by an immortal one (see 1 Cor. 15:50-53; cf. on 2 Cor. 5:1). He plans to be, as long as he lives, a faithful pastor of the flock which the Lord has placed in his charge.

To stir. Gr. diegeird, “to arouse thoroughly.” Peter’s use of the present tense implies “to keep on thoroughly arousing.” Peter planned to continue his good work as long as necessary.

By putting ... remembrance. A similar phrase occurs in ch. 3:1. The writer feels that a clear reminder of the basis of their faith will be sufficient to reaffirm their confidence in Christian teaching.
