2 Peter 2:10-19

10and especially those who 1 2indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and 3despise authority.

Daring, 4self-willed, they do not tremble when they 5revile angelic 6majesties, 11 7whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord. 12But 8these, like unreasoning animals, 9born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in 10the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed, 13suffering wrong as 11the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to 12revel in the 13daytime. They are stains and blemishes, 14reveling in their 15deceptions, as they 16carouse with you, 14having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, 17enticing 18unstable souls, having a heart trained in 19greed, 20accursed children; 15forsaking 21the right way, they have gone astray, having followed 22the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved 23the wages of unrighteousness; 16but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, 24for a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

17These are 25springs without water and mists driven by a storm, 26for whom the 27black darkness has been reserved. 18For speaking out 28arrogant words of 29vanity they 30entice by fleshly desires, by 31sensuality, those who barely 32escape from the ones who live in error, 19promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for 33by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
