Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary 2 Peter 1:15

"Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance." — 2 Peter 1:15 (ASV)

“And I will make every effort” (GK 5079) recalls words used in vv.5, 10. Peter then uses an educational term, wanting to do something so that his readers “remember” the basic truths after his death. Much discussion has centered around this sentence and the nature of what Peter is promising. He may be referring to the written form of his teaching or perhaps even to the gospel of Mark. In any case, he intends to continue his ministry with all diligence until his death so as to strengthen the church.
