2 Peter 3:15-18

15and regard the 1patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also 2our beloved brother Paul, 3according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,

16as also in all his letters, speaking in them of 4these things, 5in which there are some things that are hard to understand, which the untaught and 6unstable distort, as they do also 7the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

17You therefore, 8beloved, knowing this beforehand, 9be on your guard so that you are not carried away by 10the error of 11 12unscrupulous people and 13lose your own 14firm commitment,

18but grow in the grace and 15knowledge of our 16Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 17To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
