2 Peter 2
1ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG3588G2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG1510 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG4771, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bring uponG1863 themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684. 2AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG3588G684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3588G3598 of truthG3588G225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. 3AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall theyG1710 with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandise ofG1710 youG4771: whoseG3739 judgmentG3588G2917 nowG691 of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG3588G684 slumberethG3573 notG3756. 4ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG3588G2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 castG5020 them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920; 5AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 theG2889 oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765; 6AndG2532 turningG5077 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116 into ashesG5077 condemnedG2632 them with an overthrowG2692, makingG5087 them an ensampleG5262 unto those that after shouldG3195 live ungodlyG764; 7
AndG2532 deliveredG4506 justG1342 LotG3091, vexedG2669 withG5259 the filthyG766 conversationG391 of the wickedG113: 8(ForG1063 that righteous manG1342 dwellingG1460 amongG1722 themG846, in seeingG990 andG2532 hearingG189, vexedG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 fromG1537 dayG2250 toG1537 dayG2250 withG2041 their unlawfulG459 deedsG2041;) 9The LordG2962 knoweth howG1492 to deliverG4506 the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083 the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849: 10
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they areG5141 notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evil ofG987 dignitiesG1391. 11WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG1510 greaterG3173 in powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342 notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962. 12ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1096 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG3588G5356; 13And shall receiveG2865 the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that count itG2233 pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792 withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG3588G539 while they feast withG4910 youG4771; 14HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot ceaseG180 from sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they have exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: 15Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3588G3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BeorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93; 16ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 forG3892 hisG2398 iniquityG3892: theG5268 dumbG880 donkeyG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man’sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG3588G4396. 17TheseG3778 areG1510 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG3588G2217 of darknessG3588G4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165. 18ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG3588G668 from them who liveG3588G390 inG1722 errorG4106. 19While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG3588G5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274, of the sameG3778 is he brought in bondageG1402. 20
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3588G3393 of the worldG3588G2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG3588G2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG3778, and overcomeG2274, the latter endG2078 isG1096 worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413. 21ForG1063 it had beenG1510 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3588G3598 of righteousnessG3588G1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 theG1785 holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846. 22ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according to theG3942 trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.
