| Summary |
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 68: 2 Peter" is part of the biblical canon, specifically the second epistle attributed to St. Peter, and it falls under the category of religious scripture, likely written in the early Christian era. This epistle serves as a letter to the early Christian community, addressing crucial themes of faith, morality, and the anticipation of the second coming of Christ, warning believers of the dangers posed by false teachers and encouraging them to lead virtuous lives. The content of 2 Peter focuses on several key admonitions. St. Peter reminds the faithful of the divine gifts they have received and the need to cultivate virtues alongside their faith to secure their salvation. He warns against false prophets and their destructive messages, drawing parallels to past biblical judgments against wickedness. The epistle culminates in an exhortation to holiness and vigilance regarding the end times, stressing that while the day of the Lord may seem delayed, it will come unexpectedly, and believers should prepare by living blamelessly and growing in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
