This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
Hey friends, this is my second letter to you, and in both of these letters I'm trying to wake up your clear thinking by reminding you of what really matters.
Sometimes we all need a friend to remind us what we already know deep down.
