Common English Bible
2 Peter 3:15-17
Common English Bible
15 Consider the patience of our Lord to be salvation, just as our dear friend and brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him, 16 speaking of these things in all his letters. Some of his remarks are hard to understand, and people who are ignorant and whose faith is weak twist them to their own destruction, just as they do the other scriptures.
Final instruction
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been warned in advance, be on guard so that you aren’t led off course into the error of sinful people, and lose your own safe position.

2 Peter 3:15-17
New International Version
15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience(A) means salvation,(B) just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.(C) 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable(D) people distort,(E) as they do the other Scriptures,(F) to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard(G) so that you may not be carried away by the error(H) of the lawless(I) and fall from your secure position.(J)
