Commentary
Commentary on 2 Peter 3:2
Theological / DevotionalThat ye may be mindful. Literally, “to remind,” expressing Peter’s purpose in writing his epistle. He intended to emphasize past instruction rather than to impart new teaching. Compare the parallel passage in Jude 17.
Holy prophets. Peter refers in this verse to what is in the OT and to what had thus far been written of the NT.
Commandment. See on ch. 2:21.
Us the apostles. Textual evidence attests (cf. p. 10) the reading “your apostles,” and the final clause of the sentence may be then rendered “and of the commandment of the Lord and Saviour from [or, “given by”] your apostles.” The commandment, or instruction, came from the Lord but was delivered by the apostles.
