15. Matt 7:24-27
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine
and puts them into practice is like a wise man who
built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down,
the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against
that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its
foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears
these words of mine and does not put them into
practice is like a foolish man who built his house on
sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and
the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell
with a great crash."

16. • 2 Peter 3:10-18
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The
heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will
be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in
it will be laid bare.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what
kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live
holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the
day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring
about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the
elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with
his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven
and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

17. 14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to
this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and
at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience
means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote
you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the
same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these
matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to
understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as
they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be
on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the
error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever!
Amen.
