2 Peter 3:14-18 - Final Exhortations And Conclusion

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, expecting these things, diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless, and irreproachable, in peace. ¹⁵ And reckon the long-suffering of our Lord, to be for salvation; as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you. ¹⁶ As, indeed, in all his epistles, speaking in them concerning these things: in which there are some things hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

¹⁷ Therefore, beloved, foreknowing these things, be on your guard; lest being also carried away by the deceit of the lawless, you fall from your own steadfastness. ¹⁸ But grow in favor, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
