For us comes salvation and eternal life. For us comes blessedness. The unrighteous and unbelieving will not be there to corrupt or to mislead. All will stand before God as they should have all along. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
People falsify the words of the apostles because of sin.
Reading brings about understanding and understanding brings about obedience. One cannot obey if one does not know. Ye therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever.
