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.
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,
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.
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
