That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
I want you to remember what the holy prophets said way back, and don't forget the commands we apostles gave you from our Lord and Savior.
Don't forget the wisdom that's been passed down, it's there for a reason.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the early Christian church was grappling with false teachers who questioned the authority of Scripture and the promise of Christ's return, as outlined in Peter's second letter. Peter, writing near the end of his life, urged believers to anchor their faith in the ancient prophecies of the Old Testament prophets and the direct teachings of the apostles, including himself as a firsthand witness. This verse emphasizes the continuity between the Old and New Testaments as a unified revelation from God.
