2 Peter 2:9-15
91then the LordG2962 knowsG3609 howG3609 to rescueG4506 the godlyG2152 from 2temptationG3986, and to keepG5083 the unrighteousG94 under punishmentG2849 for the 3dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, 10and especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 who 45indulgeG4198 the fleshG4561 in its corruptG3394 desiresG1939 and 6despiseG2706 authorityG2963.
DaringG5113, 7self-willedG829, they do not trembleG5141 when they 8revileG987 angelic 9majestiesG1391, 1110whereasG3699 angelsG32 who are greaterG3173 in mightG2479 and powerG1411 do not bringG5342 a revilingG989 judgmentG2920 againstG2596 them beforeG3844 the LordG2962. 12But 11theseG3778, likeG5613 unreasoningG249 animalsG2226, 12bornG1080 as creaturesG5446 of instinctG5446 to be capturedG259 and killedG5356, revilingG987 whereG1722G3739 they haveG50 noG50 knowledgeG50, will in 13the destructionG5356 of thoseG3778 creatures alsoG2532 be destroyedG5351, 13suffering wrongG91 as 14the wagesG3408 of doingG93 wrongG93. They countG2233 it a pleasureG2237 to 15revelG5172 in the 16daytimeG2250. They are stainsG4696 and blemishesG3470, 17revelingG1792 in their 18deceptionsG539, as they 19carouseG4910 with you, 14havingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428 that neverG180 ceaseG180 from sinG266, 20enticingG1185 21unstableG793 soulsG5590, havingG2192 a heartG2588 trainedG1128 in 22greedG4124, 23accursedG2671 childrenG5043; 15forsakingG2641 24the rightG2117 wayG3598, they have goneG4105 astrayG4105, having followedG1811 25the wayG3598 of BalaamG903, the son of BeorG961, whoG3739 lovedG25 26the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
