2 Peter / Question
Question source
2 Peter
Peter says Paul wrote according to the wisdom given to him, and that in his letters some things are “hard to understand.” He adds that the ignorant and unstable “twist” these things, “as they do the other Scriptures,” to their own destruction. The warning is about distortion of apostolic teaching. See 2 Peter 3:15–16.
15Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;
16as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they do also to the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
