Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
Endeavour - `use my diligence' х spoudasoo (G4704)], as 2 Peter 1:10, the field in which my diligence has scope. Peter fulfils Christ's charge, "Feed my sheep."
That ye may be able - by this written letter; perhaps also by Mark's gospel, which Peter superintended. Decease - `departure.' The very word х exodon (G1841)] used in the transfiguration, Moses and Elias conversing about Christ's decease (found nowhere else in the New Testament, but Hebrews 11:22, 'the departing of Israel' out of Egypt, to which the saints' deliverance from the bondage of corruption answers). "Tabernacle" also is found here, as well as there (Luke 9:31; Luke 9:33): an undesigned coincidence, confirming Peters authorship. Always, х hekastote (G1539)] - 'on each occasion:' as occasion may require. To have ... in remembrance, х teen (G3588) touton (G5126) mneemeen (G3420) poieisthai (G4160)] - 'to exercise remembrance of,' as of precious truths. Not merely 'to remember' as things we care not about.
