2 Petrus 3:17

3:17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, ¹  be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men ²  and fall from your firm grasp on the truth. ³ 

[3:17]  ¹ tn Grk “knowing beforehand.”

[3:17]  ² tn Or “lawless ones.”

[3:17]  sn These unprincipled men. The same word is used in 2:7, suggesting further that the heretics in view in chapter 3 are the false teachers of chapter 2.

[3:17]  ³ tn Grk “fall from your firmness.”
