2 Corinthians 1:13 (NLT) Our letters have been straightforward, and there is nothing
written between the lines and nothing you can’t understand. I hope someday
you will fully understand us,
2 Corinthians 1:13 (MSG) Don’t try to read between the lines or look for hidden
meanings in this letter. We’re writing plain, unembellished truth, hoping that you’ll

prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this book.

that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as
our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath
written unto you;
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which
are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware
lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own
stedfastness.
2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (KJV)
