12Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.
13I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;
14knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord, Jesus Christ, made clear to me.
15Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
16For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18This voice we heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mountain.
