| Summary |
"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 2 Peter" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a modern translation of the biblical text intended for spiritual readers, likely produced in the early 20th century. The book serves as a religious publication, focusing on the Apostle Peter's second epistle, which addresses key themes in Christian faith and behavior. Its aim is to provide clarity and accessibility for contemporary audiences engaging with scripture. In this epistle, Simon Peter urges believers to cultivate their faith by adding virtues such as knowledge, self-control, and love. He warns against false prophets and immoral teachers who lead individuals away from the truth, emphasizing the importance of remembering the teachings of their faith and remaining steadfast in their beliefs. Peter discusses the second coming of Christ and encourages believers to live holy and godly lives in anticipation of God's promised new creation. The letter serves as both a reminder and a call to action for the Christian community to uphold their faith against external challenges and internal temptations.
