2 Peter 2:10-19

10and especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 who 12indulgeG4198 the fleshG4561 in its corruptG3394 desiresG1939 and 3despiseG2706 authorityG2963.

DaringG5113, 4self-willedG829, they do not trembleG5141 when they 5revileG987 angelic 6majestiesG1391, 117whereasG3699 angelsG32 who are greaterG3173 in mightG2479 and powerG1411 do not bringG5342 a revilingG989 judgmentG2920 againstG2596 them beforeG3844 the LordG2962. 12But 8theseG3778, likeG5613 unreasoningG249 animalsG2226, 9bornG1080 as creaturesG5446 of instinctG5446 to be capturedG259 and killedG5356, revilingG987 whereG1722G3739 they haveG50 noG50 knowledgeG50, will in 10the destructionG5356 of thoseG3778 creatures alsoG2532 be destroyedG5351, 13suffering wrongG91 as 11the wagesG3408 of doingG93 wrongG93. They countG2233 it a pleasureG2237 to 12revelG5172 in the 13daytimeG2250. They are stainsG4696 and blemishesG3470, 14revelingG1792 in their 15deceptionsG539, as they 16carouseG4910 with you, 14havingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428 that neverG180 ceaseG180 from sinG266, 17enticingG1185 18unstableG793 soulsG5590, havingG2192 a heartG2588 trainedG1128 in 19greedG4124, 20accursedG2671 childrenG5043; 15forsakingG2641 21the rightG2117 wayG3598, they have goneG4105 astrayG4105, having followedG1811 22the wayG3598 of BalaamG903, the son of BeorG961, whoG3739 lovedG25 23the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93; 16but he receivedG2192 a rebukeG1649 for his ownG2398 transgressionG3892, 24for a muteG880 donkeyG5268, speakingG5350 with a voiceG5456 of a manG444, restrainedG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.

17TheseG3778 are 25springsG4077 withoutG504 waterG504 and mistsG3658 drivenG1643 by a stormG2978, 26for whomG3739 the 27blackG2217 darknessG4655 has been reservedG5083. 18For speakingG5350 out 28arrogantG5246 words of 29vanityG3153 they 30enticeG1185 by fleshlyG4561 desiresG1939, by 31sensualityG766, thoseG3588 who barelyG3643 32escapeG668 from the ones who liveG390 in errorG4106, 19promisingG1861 them freedomG1657 while they themselvesG846 are slavesG1401 of corruptionG5356; for 33by whatG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274, by thisG3778 he is enslavedG1402.
