They should encourage each other in the faith (1:20-21 ^d) and reach out to those who might be going astray through the false teachers’ influence (1:22-23 ^e). 1:17 ^f what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted: Such predictions are in Acts 20:29-30 ^g; 1 Tim 4:1-3 ^h; 2 Tim 3:1-5 ⁱ.
1:18 ^j in the last times: The coming of Jesus as Messiah inaugurated the last stage of God’s plan, when the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the last days began to take place.
