Be Steadfast

14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent ato be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;  
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 3:16

II Peter 3:16 As also in all [his] epistles. Peter knew of many epistles, then, that Paul had written, and knew also that they contained some very profound argument, which a Jew especially found it difficult to understand (See Galatian Letter). The unlearned and unstable. The ignorant and vacillating. Wrest. Pervert and give meanings that were never meant. As [they do] also the other scriptures. The other scriptures may mean the Old Testament, or New Testament writings already written. The point to be noted is that already when Peter wrote Paul's epistles were accepted as a part of the Scriptures. Unto their own destruction. This should be a warning to all in our day who twist the Scriptures from their real meaning.
