2 Peter 3:17

Compare all

15 and consider that ^athe longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

16 as also in all his ^aepistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the ^brest of the Scriptures.

17 You therefore, beloved, ^asince you know this beforehand, ^bbeware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

18 ^abut grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ^bTo Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

2 Peter 3:17

Seeing ye know - before - Seeing that by prophets and apostles you have been thus forewarned, beware, , keep watch, be on your guard; cleave to God and the word of his grace, lest ye be led away from the truth delivered by the prophets and apostles, by the error of the wicked, , of the lawless - those who wrest the Scriptures to make them countenance their lusts, exorbitant exactions, and lawless practices.

Fall from your own steadfastness - From that faith in Christ which has put you in possession of that grace which establishes the heart.
