About the passage
2 Peter 1: Knowledge that holds after the eyewitness is gone
The Second Epistle of Peter opens by giving its readers equal standing with the apostle in a faith neither side arranged for itself. Divine power has already supplied what pertains to life and godliness before the letter asks for diligence, and the famous chain of qualities places knowledge in the middle rather than at the summit. Then the reason for the chapter's urgency becomes personal: the writer expects to die soon and keeps returning to remembrance. He reaches back to the transfiguration, strips the scene down to the heavenly voice, and then sets that remembered experience beside prophecy. The result is deliberate. The eyewitness will disappear, but the written word remains, a lamp held in darkness until dawn.
