2 Peter 3:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 He speaks about these things in all his letters in which there are some matters that are hard to understand. The untaught and unstable twist them to their own destruction,(A) as they also do with the rest of the Scriptures.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you know this in advance, be on your guard,(B) so that you are not led away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge(C) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.[a](D) Amen.[b]
