It serves as an encouragement to believers to remain steadfast in their faith. In this epistle, the author, traditionally regarded as the Apostle Peter, emphasizes the importance of moral and spiritual growth, urging readers to cultivate virtues such as faith, self-control, and love. The text warns against false prophets and teachers who would lead believers astray, drawing on examples from history, such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the fate of rebellious angels.
