Verse 1 - Note that Peter starts by establishing his office as as Apostle and therefore his authority. We live in a time where we hate authority, especially in the church, so we should take special note of these things. Verse 4 - Peter declares we have already escaped corruption and our desires for things we should not have. Since God has freed us from slavery to sin we should not go back to that bondage.
