On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

By saying, I stir up your pure mind, he means the same as though he had said, "I wish to awaken you to a sincerity of mind." And the words ought to be thus explained, "I stir up your mind that it may be pure and bright." For the meaning is, that the minds of the godly become dim, and as it were contract rust, when admonitions cease.

Ye already know (2Pe 3:3); it is only needed that I remind you (Jude 5).
