2 Pet 1:20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is {a matter} of one's own interpretation,
2 Pet 1:21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
2 Pet 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
2 Pet 2:2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
2 Pet 2:3 and in {their} greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
2 Pet 2:4 ¶ For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;
2 Pet 2:5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2 Pet 2:6 and {if} He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing {them} to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly {lives} thereafter;
2 Pet 2:7 and {if} He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men
2 Pet 2:8 (for by what he saw and heard {that} righteous man, while living among them, felt {his} righteous soul tormented day after day by {their} lawless deeds),
2 Pet 2:9 {then} the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
2 Pet 2:10 and especially those who indulge the flesh in {its} corrupt desires and despise authority. ¶ Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,
2 Pet 2:11 whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.
Rom 16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
Rom 16:17 ¶ Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.
Rom 16:18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
Phil 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;
Phil 3:16 however, let us keep living by that same { standard} to which we have attained.
Phil 3:17 ¶ Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.
1 Thess 3:9 For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account,
1 Thess 3:10 as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith?
1 Thess 3:11 ¶ Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord direct our way to you;
1 Thess 3:12 and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also {do} for you;
1 Thess 3:13 so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
1 Thess 4:1 Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us {instruction} as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.
No Protestant will ever be able to say that these examples were written to the future Protestant church for their own interpretation; they cannot refute that they were sent to the early churches commanding them to keep to what they had been taught by the original Apostles.
It is leading me. I will get there someday, as the Holy Spirit gives me direction and correction.
