¹³ But according to His ^(A)promise we are looking for ^(B)new heavens and a new earth, ^(C)in which righteousness dwells.

Be on Your Guard

^14 (D)Therefore, ^(E)beloved, since you are looking for these things, be diligent to be ^(F)found by Him in peace, ^(G)spotless and blameless, ¹⁵ and consider the ^(H)patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also ^(I)our beloved brother Paul, ^(J)according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, ¹⁶ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of ^(K)these things, ^(L)in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and ^(M)unstable distort, as they do also ^(N)the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. ¹⁷ You therefore, ^(O)beloved, knowing this beforehand, ^(P)be on your guard lest you, having been carried away by ^(Q)the error of ^(R)unprincipled men, ^(S)fall from your own steadfastness, ¹⁸ but grow in the grace and ^(T)knowledge of our ^(U)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ^(V)To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
