Study of Peter 1 & 2: Chapter 3 Verses 14-18...

 14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and

blameless by Him, at peace, 15 and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also

our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16 as also in all

his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which there are some things that are hard to

understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures,

to their own destruction. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard

so that you are not carried away by the error of unscrupulous people and lose your own firm

commitment, 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To

Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Verse 14

Things refers to Christ's judgment day.

Him is Jesus.

He wants us to be found blameless and spotless.

58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the

work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58

Verse 15

regard patience of our lord as salvation just as Paul did.

Just as the wisdom that Paul shared with you when he wrote to you.

9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,

not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.2 peter 3:9

Verse 16

Paul speaking of these things again refers to Christ's judgment day.

Some things will be hard to understand refers to some things will be difficult to

 comprehend/grasp. 

With untaught ones refers to the people were not taught of Christ's judgment day.

There was also people who were unstable.

These people distort the Scriptures that lead to their destruction.

14 Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and

blameless by Him, at peace, 2 Peter 3:14

Verse 17

Knowing that people will distort the scripture the people he was writing to need to be on guard

that they may not be let or as the verse carried away in the wrong ways or errors of those

ways.

3 Beloved, this is now the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind

by way of a reminder, 2 Peter 3:1

Verse 18

Grow in Knowledge of God and Jesus.

To Him be the glory now and the day of eternity.

Amen

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 2
