Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Peter 3
¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
¹⁵ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
¹⁷ You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
¹⁸ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
1 John 1
¹ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--
² the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--
³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
⁴ And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
⁵ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
