2 Peter 3:3-6

B. Scoffing in the Last Days 3:3-6

Peter warned his readers about the activity of mockers preceding the Lord’s return to enable them to deal with this test of their faith.

"Peter finally brings together two of the most important issues in the letter: the false teachers’ skepticism about the return of Christ in glory (see 2 Peter 1:16-21) and their disdain for holiness (chap. 2)." [Note: Moo, p. 165.]
