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

Knowing these things beforehand (proginwskontev). Present active participle of proginwskw as in I Peter 1:20. Cf. prwton ginwskw (II Peter 1:20; II Peter 3:1). Hence they are without excuse for misunderstanding Peter or Paul on this subject.

Beware (fulassesqe). Present middle imperative of fulassw, common verb, to guard.

Lest (ina mh). Negative purpose, "that not."

Being carried away (sunapaxqentev). First aorist passive participle of sunapagw, old verb double compound, to carry away together with, in N.T. only here and Galatians 2:13.

With the error (th planh). Instrumental case, "by the error" (the wandering).

Of the wicked (twn aqesmwn). See on II Peter 2:7.

Ye fall from (ekpeshte). Second aorist active subjunctive with ina mh of ekpiptw, old verb, to fall out of, with the ablative here (sthrigmou, steadfastness, late word from sthrizw, here alone in N.T.) as in Galatians 5:4 (thv xaritov ecepesate, ye fell out of grace).
