Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Peter 1:13

"And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;" — 2 Peter 1:13 (ASV)

Yea, I think it meet.—Better, But I think it right. So the Rheims version; Tyndale and Cranmer have “notwithstanding.” The meaning is, “but (so far from my writing being unnecessary) I think it right,” etc.

In this tabernacle.—The comparison of the human body to a dwelling is common in all literatures, and the temporary nature of a tent makes it specially appropriate. (Compare 2 Corinthians 5:1.)

By putting you in remembrance.—Better, in putting you. The stirring up consists in the reminding. (See 2 Peter 1:1–2; 2 Peter 1:4; also 2 Peter 3:1, where the same phrase occurs.)
