10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh σαρκὸς sarkos G4561 in the lust G1939 of defilement, and despise G2706 dominion . Daring , self-willed , they tremble not to rail at dignities: 11 whereas angels ἄγγελοι angeloi G32 , though greater G3173 in might and power δυνάμει dunamei G1411 , bring φέρουσιν pherousin G5342 not a railing judgment κρίσιν. krisin G2920 against them before the Lord G2962 . 12 But these , as creatures G2226 without reason , born G1080 mere animals ζῷα zōa G2226 to be taken and destroyed , railing in matters whereof they are ignorant ἀγνοοῦσιν agnoousin G50 , shall in their destroying surely be destroyed , 13 suffering wrong G91 as the hire of wrong-doing; men that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes , revelling in their deceivings while they feast συνευωχούμενοι suneuōchoumenoi G4910 with you ; 14 having eyes ὀφθαλμοὺς ophthalmous G3788 full μεστοὺς mestous G3324 of adultery , and that cannot cease from sin ἁμαρτίας, hamartias G266 ; enticing unstedfast souls ψυχὰς psuchas G5590 ; having a heart καρδίαν kardian G2588 exercised in covetousness G4124 ; children G5043 of cursing κατάρας kataras G2671 ; 15 forsaking the right way ὁδὸν hodon G3598 , they went astray ἐπλανήθησαν, eplanēthēsan G4105 , having followed ἐξακολουθήσαντες exakolouthēsantes G1811 the way ὁδῷ hodō G3598 of Balaam Βαλαὰμ Balaam G903 the son of Beor, who loved G25 the hire of wrong-doing; 16 but he was rebuked for his own ἰδίας idias G2398 transgression : a dumb ass spake with man’s G444 voice φωνῇ phōnēa G5456 and stayed the madness of the prophet προφήτου prophētou G4396 . 17 These are G1510 springs G4077 without water ἄνυδροι anudroi G504 , and mists driven by a storm λαίλαπος lailapos G2978 ; for whom the blackness of darkness σκότους skotous G4655 hath been G1510 reserved . 18 For , uttering great swelling words of vanity , they entice in the lusts G1939 of the flesh σαρκὸς sarkos G4561 , by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error πλάνῃ planē G4106 ; 19 promising G1861 them liberty , while they themselves are bondservants of corruption ; for of whom a man G3778 is overcome , of the same G846 is he also G2532 brought into bondage G1402 .
