The verses these writers stop at

• 1:4 Through these he has given us his promises, precious and greater than any other, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, now that you have escaped the decay that desire has brought into the world. 27
• 3:9 The Lord is not delaying the promise, as some people think of delay. Rather, he is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all people to turn back in repentance. 26
• 3:18 Instead, keep growing in the grace that comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and in knowing him. May glory be his, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. 18
• 1:21 for no prophecy ever came because a human being willed it; rather, people spoke from God as the Holy Spirit bore them along. 12
• 1:1 From Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who, through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, have received a faith that is worth just as much as our own. 11
• 1:5 This is why you must put every effort into this: let your faith provide goodness, and goodness knowledge, 10
• 1:3 By his divine power we have been given every gift that leads to life and godliness, through knowing the one who called us by his own glory and goodness. 7
• 1:10 So, brothers and sisters, work even harder to make sure that God's call and choice of you stand firm; for as you do these things you will never trip and fall. 7
