The Greek hekastote means 'always' or 'on each occasion.' It appears only in 2 Peter 1:15: 'And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always (hekastote) be able to remember these things.' Peter is speaking of leaving a permanent testimony โ his letter itself โ so that the truth remains accessible always, not just while he lives.
Peter's use of hekastote in 2 Peter 1:15 reflects an apostle's pastoral burden for continuity. He knows his death is near (2 Peter 1:14 โ 'the putting aside of my body will come soon'). His response is not resignation but resolve: he will write so that readers can always recall the truth. The word hekastote spans his death โ the Scripture he leaves behind ensures that what he taught will be retrievable by every generation after him. The permanence of written apostolic testimony is the answer to the limitation of mortal teachers.
