2 Peter 3:15-18

English Standard Version

¹⁵ And count ^(A)the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as ^(B)our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you ^(C)according to the wisdom given him, ¹⁶ as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. ^(D)There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, ^(E)as they do the other Scriptures. ¹⁷ You therefore, beloved, ^(F)knowing this beforehand, ^(G)take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. ¹⁸ But ^(H)grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ^(I)To him be the glory both now and to the day of ^(J)eternity. Amen.
