2 Peter 3:17-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ [^LTherefore] ·Dear friends [^LBeloved], since you already ·know [are forewarned] about this, be ·careful [on guard]. Do not let those ·evil [lawless; unprincipled] people lead you away ·by the wrong they do [or by their deception; or into error]. Be ·careful [on guard] so you will not fall from your own ·strong faith [stability; firm position]. ¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory be to him now and ·forever [^Lto the day of eternity]! ·Amen [So be it].
