His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 2 Peter 1:3 CSB
The New Testament of the Bible contains several letters from Paul, Peter, and others. But they were writing to someone; where are the return letters from Timothy, the churches, or other believers? Did some organization hold them back in a deep vault somewhere? What about accounts of Jesus; did Nathanael, Philip, or Andrew have an account of their time with the Lord? Did a conspiracy prevent their publication? Peter does not refute or deny any possibility of deceptions or denial that may happen down through the centuries. In a method our Lord often used, Peter answers the questions by not answering the questions. Peter simply assures his readers that we are given everything we need for life and godliness. If one does not believe in the Lord Jesus and His word now, then more books will not make up the difference.
We have what we need through the knowledge of Him who called us.
