2 Peter 3:17 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Ye therefore, beloved,— Beza observes, that St. Peter does not say here, "Abstain from these obscure scriptures; choose out only certain Chapter s; leave the rest either to the more learned, or the more curious; expect new revelations, and suffer the tares in the mean time to grow;—for who art thou that judgest?"

Dr. Heylin renders this verse, Since therefore, my beloved, you are forewarned of these things, be upon your guard, that you may not be seduced by those profane men; but persist, and grow in grace, &c.
