The primary arc is for me to be diligent because I am looking for His return. Or to say it another way, 3:14a is the Ground of all that follows. The outline: 3:17 - 18a is an INF in response to the destruction of those who distort the Scriptures. 3:15b - 16c is a CF - that is, it's comparing what Paul has written with what Peter just has in previous verses. 3:14a is the Ground for the "be diligent" of 3:14b and the "regard" of 3:15a. So, the ultimate point of this passage is for me to be diligent and to regard because I am looking for these things. The questions that will immediately follow are: What are the "these things" referenced in 3:14? What am I supposed to be diligent about? What am I supposed to regard (how do you "regard" anyway?)? As a secondary point, Peter urges me to "be on guard" in light of those who "distort...the Scriptures, to their own destruction." He urges me to be on guard so that I am not carried away and fall, but in contrast I am to grow. Again, questions immediately follow: How exactly does someone stay on guard against heresy? What exactly is the error of these unprincipled men? What does someone who is being carried away look like? What is our "steadfastness"? How does a person "grow? How do I grow in grace? How do I grow in knowledge?
