- scoffers walk after their evil desires, purposefully deceiving themselves that the Lord will be lax about His promise to return
- v5-7
- like God created the world, and like He destroyed it with a flood, he will destroy the heavens and earth with fire
- v8-9
- the reason that the Lord has not returned yet, is just to give everybody a chance to repent
- v10-14
- knowing that the Lord will come, and all the elements will melt with a fervent heat, we really ought to be diligent to walk in holiness
- v15-16
- Paul's epistles are part of the Scriptures, even if some of things in them are hard to understand. It is unstable and unlearned people who twist the Scriptures.
- v17-18

Key v2
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
We should be mindful
that the Lord really is going to come back and judge sin and reward righteousness.
Application
v17Ye 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.
I'll keep the reality of the Lord's promises in mind, while I work for Him.
