14 Therefore, my dear friends, since you are waiting for these things to happen, do your best to appear clean and blameless before God. Try to be at peace with God.
2 Peter 3:14
15 Remember that God’s patience is a chance to survive. This is what our dear brother Paul told you when he wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him.
2 Peter 3:15
16 This is how Paul writes about these things in all his letters. In his writings, there are some things that are difficult to understand. Strangers and people who are weak in faith deliberately misinterpret such things. They treat other books the same way. By doing so, they are destroying themselves.
2 Peter 3:16
17 Dear friends, you already know this. So be careful. Don’t allow bad people to mislead you with these misconceptions and cause you to stumble and fall from your strong faith.
2 Peter 3:17
18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
2 Peter 3:18
