2 Peter 1:12

μελλήσω. What is the exact significance of the future? It can hardly be simply a periphrastic future. “The idea is rather that the writer will be prepared in the future, as well as in the past and in the present to remind them of the truths they know, whenever the necessity arises” (Zahn. Introd., ii., p. 211; quoted with approval by Nestle. Text. Criticism of N.T. pp. 333 34). ἐστηριγμένους. This word is used by Jesus in the warning given of Peter's fall, and its spiritual result. και σύ ποτε ἐπιστρέψας στήρισον τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου (Luke 22:32). Cf. 1 Peter 5:10; 2 Peter 3:17, where στηριγμός = “steadfastness of mind”. ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ἀληθείᾳ. “in the present truth,” i.e. in so far as you yet have experience of it. Cf. note on 2 Peter 1:8.
