Since all these things are to melt away in this manner, what sort of people must we be, conducting our lives in holiness and godliness,

Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men and fall from your firm grasp on the truth.
