¹⁵ and regard the ^(A)patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also ^(B)our beloved brother Paul, ^(C)according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, ¹⁶ as also in all his letters, speaking in them of ^(D)these things, ^(E)in which there are some things that are hard to understand, which the untaught and ^(F)unstable distort, as they do also ^(G)the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. ¹⁷ You therefore, ^(H)beloved, knowing this beforehand, ^(I)be on your guard so that you are not carried away by ^(J)the error of ^[a](K)unscrupulous people and ^(L)lose your own ^[b]firm commitment, ¹⁸ but grow in the grace and ^(M)knowledge of our ^(N)Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ^(O)To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
