Its 3 chapters and 61 verses hold the promise of "exceeding great and precious promises... that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4), the assurance that "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" (2 Peter 1:21), and the certainty that "the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). The letter ends with the summons to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18).
