as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
The Pauline Epistles by now were the common property of all churches, and the word "all" suggests they were complete. Paul handled Christ's coming in Thessalonians much as Peter does here, yet some things are hard to understand, the man of sin, the apostasy before His coming. But enough is plain and sufficient for perfecting the man of God.
AI summary
Some things in Scripture are obscure and dark, and the ignorant twist them to overthrow those not yet established in the faith, to their own destruction. The remedy is to labor daily to grow and increase in the knowledge of Christ.
AI summary
Paul had written many epistles by this time, all under the same wisdom and Spirit's influence. He speaks in them of Christ's second coming, of mockers and wicked men in the last days, and of mysteries not easily understood, the timing of His return, the manner of His appearing, the resurrection in spiritual bodies, the rapture of the saints.
