I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.
Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,
I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God
