2 Peter 3:16 in Context — 2 Peter 3

14 Por isso, amados, aguardando essas coisas, procurai que por ele sejais achados incontaminados e irrepreensíveis em paz;

15 E considerai como salvação a paciência de nosso Senhor; assim como também nosso irmão Paulo vos escreveu, segundo a sabedoria que lhe foi dada;

16 Como também em duas as [suas] cartas, ele fala nelas destas coisas; entre as quais há algumas coisas difíceis de entender, as quais os ignorantes e os inconstantes distorcem, assim como também as outras Escrituras, para a própria perdição deles.

17 Portanto vós, amados, sabendo [disto] com antecedência, guardai-vos para que, pelo engano dos maus, não sejais juntamente arrebatados, e caiais de vossa firmeza.

18 Mas crescei em graça e conhecimento de nosso Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo. A ele seja a glória, tanto agora como no dia da eternidade, Amém!
