‏ 2 Peter 1:14

v. 14: Peter knows that he will not live much longer. Jesus had shown him that his death was near, so he feels an even stronger need to teach and write while he still can. The body is just a temporary home, like a tent, and will be put aside at death. Because his time is short, Peter is even more determined to make sure believers remember what he taught, even after he is gone.
