2 Peter 2:7-16

7and if He 1rescuedG4506 righteousG1342 LotG3091, who was oppressedG2669 by the 2pervertedG766 conductG391 of 34unscrupulousG113 peopleG113 8(for by whatG990 he sawG990 and heardG189 that 5righteousG1342 manG1342, while livingG1460 amongG1722 them, feltG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 tormentedG928 dayG2250 afterG1537 dayG2250 by their lawlessG459 deedsG2041), 96then the LordG2962 knowsG3609 howG3609 to rescueG4506 the godlyG2152 from 7a trialG3986, and to keepG5083 the unrighteousG94 underG2849 punishmentG2849 for the 8dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, 10and especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 who 910indulgeG4198 the fleshG4561 in its corruptG3394 passionG1939, and 11despiseG2706 12authorityG2963.

13RecklessG5113, 14self-centeredG829, they 15speakG987 abusivelyG987 of angelic 16majestiesG1391 withoutG3756 tremblingG5141, 1117whereasG3699 angelsG32 who are greaterG3173 in mightG2479 and powerG1411 do not bringG5342 a demeaningG989 judgmentG2920 againstG2596 them beforeG3844 the LordG2962. 12But 18theseG3778, likeG5613 unreasoningG249 animalsG2226, 19bornG1080 as creaturesG5446 ofG5446 instinctG5446 to be capturedG259 and killedG5356, usingG987 abusiveG987 speechG987 whereG1722G3739 they haveG50 noG50 knowledgeG50, will in 20the destructionG5356 of thoseG3778 creatures alsoG2532 be destroyedG5351, 13suffering wrongG91 as 21the wagesG3408 of doingG93 wrongG93. They countG2233 it a pleasureG2237 to 22revelG5172 in the 23daytimeG2250. They are stainsG4696 and blemishesG3470, 24revelingG1792 in their 25deceptionsG539 as they 26feastG4910 with you, 14havingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428 27that neverG180 ceaseG180 from sinG266, 28enticingG1185 29unstableG793 soulsG5590, havingG2192 heartsG2588 trainedG1128 in 30greedG4124, 31accursedG2671 childrenG5043; 15abandoningG2641 32the rightG2117 wayG3598, they have goneG4105 astrayG4105, having followedG1811 33the wayG3598 of BalaamG903, the son of BeorG961, whoG3739 lovedG25 34the 35rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93; 16but he receivedG2192 a rebukeG1649 for his ownG2398 offenseG3892, 36for a muteG880 donkeyG5268, speakingG5350 with a humanG444 voiceG5456, restrainedG2967 the insanityG3913 of the prophetG4396.
