2 Peter 3:14-18

14ThereforeG1352, belovedG27, as you anticipateG4328 these thingsG3778, make every effortG4704 to be foundG2147 atG1722 peaceG1515—spotlessG784 andG2532 blamelessG298 in HisG846 sight.1

15Consider also thatG2532 G2233 ourG1473 Lord’sG2962 patienceG3115 brings salvationG4991, just asG2531 ourG1473 belovedG27 brotherG80 PaulG3972 alsoG2532 wroteG1125 youG4771 withG2596 theG3588 wisdomG4678 God gave himG1325 G846. 16He writes this wayG5613 G2532 inG1722 allG3956 his lettersG1992,2 speakingG2980 inG1722 themG846 aboutG4012 such matters. SomeG5100 parts ofG1722 his letters areG1510 hard to understandG1425, whichG3739 ignorantG261 andG2532 unstableG793 people distortG4761,3 asG5613 they do theG3588 rest ofG3062 the ScripturesG1124, toG4314 theirG846 ownG2398 destructionG684.

17ThereforeG3767, belovedG27, since youG4771 already knowG4267 these things, be on your guardG5442 so thatG2443 you will notG3361 be carried awayG4879 by theG3588 errorG4106 of theG3588 lawlessG113 and fall fromG1601 your secure standingG4740. 18ButG1161 growG837 inG1722 the graceG5485 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of ourG1473 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviorG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. To HimG846 be theG3588 gloryG1391 bothG2532 nowG3568 andG2532 toG1519 the dayG2250 of eternityG165.
