'Understand' in the Bible

First of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,

These people, like irrational animals, are mere creatures of instinct that are born to be caught and killed. They insult what they don't understand, and like animals they, too, will be destroyed,

First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us

The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some people understand slowness, but is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to perish, but wants everyone to repent.

He speaks about this subject in all his letters. Some things in them are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, leading to their own destruction, as they do the rest of the Scriptures.
