Context of 2 Peter 2:13
11whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord. 12But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed, suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you, 14having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children; 15forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Commentaries on 2 Peter 2:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13They that count it pleasure to riot in the day time - Most sinners, in order to practice their abominable pleasures, seek the secrecy of the night; but these, bidding defiance to all decorum, decency, and shame, take the open day, and thus proclaim their impurities to the sun. Spots - and blemishes - They are a disgrace to the Christian name. Sporting themselves - Forming opinions which give license to sin, and then acting on those opinions; and thus…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness - The appropriate recompense of their wickedness in the future world. Such people do not always receive the due recompense of their deeds in the present life; and as it is a great and immutable principle that all will be treated, under the government of God, as they deserve, or that justice will be rendered to every rational being, it follows that there must be punishment in the future state. As they that…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-16Verses 10-16 Impure seducers and their abandoned followers, give themselves up to their own fleshly minds. Refusing to bring every thought to the obedience of Christ, they act against God's righteous precepts. They walk after the flesh, they go on in sinful courses, and increase to greater degrees of impurity and wickedness. They also despise those whom God has set in authority over them, and requires them to honour. Outward temporal good things are the…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13reveling in their deception as they feast with you: Compare Jude 1:12. Early Christians often shared fellowship meals to honor the Lord (see Acts 2:46; 6:1). The false teachers used these meals as opportunities to deceive true believers. Some manuscripts say They revel in their fellowship meals as they feast with you. If correct, these false teachers were using the meals for self-indulgence (see 1 Corinthians 11:20–22).Read the comment

Perhaps it is implied, unrighteousness shall be its own reward or punishment.
