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

¹⁴ And so, beloved, since you are looking for these things, continually give diligence that you may be found in peace, unspotted and blameless in his sight. ¹⁵ Regard our Lord's longsuffering as salvation; even as our dear brother Paul also wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him. ¹⁶ It is the same in all his letters when he speaks of these things. There are indeed some things in his letters hard to understand, which the ignorant and the shifty wrest, as also they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

¹⁷ Do you therefore, beloved, because you know these things beforehand, be on your guard lest you be led astray by the error of the wicked, and so fall from your own stedfastness. ¹⁸ But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen.
