I DIDN’T say it was ONLY in the epistles. You said it wasn’t even in the Bible. I showed you one place where it is

I was making a comment about what FK posted, namely: "Once a low level true faith is established by God (salvation), then sanctification begins and we move toward a higher level. This movement not only benefits us personally in our personal relationship with God, but it also makes us more useful to God to accomplish His plan for us as individuals. A fully saved person can and will always grow in Christ."

You extracted one word out of it, instead of the whole context. Where is the mention of God's plan in the Bible? Stop obfuscating the issues by taking things out of context.

Then why does 1 Peter (who was not Paul) mention sanctification in verse 2 of chapter 1?

1 Peter was written in Pauline style to pacify the rift between him and Peter. 1 Peter is distinctly Pauline in character and language.

You said NO one taught or KNEW it, other than Paul. 1st and 2nd Peter were NOT written by Paul, so, obviously, you are wrong. Admit it.
