That sounds to me like it captures the thought. I am not sure about the Iver's point. While others have been posting, I have been trying to make a coherent discourse out of the first chapter of 2Peter. There are problems of coherence at every level. The syntax in places reminds me of Attic Tragedy; hyperbaton and whatever.
