2 Peter 2
2:1

But1161 there were1096 false prophets5578 also2532 among1722 the people2992, even2532 as5613 there shall be2071 false teachers5572 among1722 you5213, who3748 privily shall bring in3919 destructive684 heresies139, even2532 denying720 the Master1203 that bought59 them846, and bring1863 upon themselves1438 swift5031 destruction684.

2:2

And2532 many4183 shall follow1811 their846 pernicious ways684; by reason of1223 whom3739 the way3598 of truth225 shall be evil spoken of987,

2:3

And2532 through1722 covetousness4124 shall they with feigned4112 words3056 make merchandise1710 of you5209: whose3739 judgment2917 now of a long time1597 lingereth691 not3756, and2532 their846 condemnation684 slumbereth3573 not3756.

2:4

For1063 if1487 Elohim2316 spared5339 not3756 the angels32 that sinned264, but235 cast them down to Tartaros 5020, and delivered3860 them into chains4577 of darkness2217, to be reserved5083 unto1519 judgment2920;

2:5

And2532 spared5339 not3756 the old744 world2889, but235 saved5442 Noah3575 the eighth3590 person, a preacher2783 of righteousness1343, bringing in1863 the flood2627 upon the world2889 of the wicked765;

2:6

And2532 turning5077 the cities4172 of Sodom4670 and2532 Gomorrha1116 into ashes5077 condemned2632 them with an overthrow2692, making5087 them an ensample5262 unto those that after should3195 live sinfully764;

2:7

And2532 delivered4506 just1342 Lot3091, vexed2669 with5259 the filthy766 conversation391 of the wicked113:

2:8

(For that righteous man1342 dwelling1460 among1722 them846, in seeing990 and2532 hearing189, vexed928 his righteous1342 soul5590 from day2250 to1537 day2250 with their unlawful459 deeds2041;)

2:9

Yahweh2962 knoweth1492 how to deliver4506 the pious2152 out of1537 temptations3986, and1161 to reserve5083 the unjust94 unto1519 the day2250 of judgment2920 to be punished2849:

2:10

But1161 chiefly3122 them that walk4198 after3694 the flesh4561 in1722 the lust1939 of uncleanness3394, and2532 despise2706 government2963. Presumptuous5113 are they, selfwilled829, they are not3756 afraid5141 to speak evil987 of dignities1391.

2:11

Whereas3699 angels32, which are5607 greater in3187 power2479 and2532 might1411, bring5342 not3756 railing989 accusation2920 against2596 them846 before3844 Yahweh2962.

2:12

But1161 these3778, as5613 natural5446 brute249 beasts2226, made1080 to1519 be taken259 and2532 destroyed5356, speak evil987 of1722 the things that3739 they understand not50; and shall utterly perish2704 in1722 their own846 corruption5356;

2:13

And shall receive2865 the reward3408 of unrighteousness93, as they that count2233 it pleasure2237 to riot5172 in1722 the day time2250. Spots4696 they are and2532 blemishes3470, sporting themselves1792 with1722 their own846 deceivings539 while they feast4910 with you5213;

2:14

Having2192 eyes3788 full3324 of adultery3428, and2532 that cannot cease from180 sin266; beguiling1185 unstable793 souls5590: an heart2588 they have2192 exercised1128 with covetous practices4124; cursed2671 children5043:

2:15

Which have forsaken2641 the right2117 way3598, and are gone astray4105, following1811 the way3598 of Balaam903 the son of Bosor1007, who3739 loved25 the wages3408 of unrighteousness93;

2:16

But1161 was2192 rebuked1649 for his2398 iniquity3892: the dumb880 donkey5268 speaking5350 with1722 man's444 voice5456 forbad2967 the madness3913 of the prophet4396.

2:17

These3778 are1526 wells4077 without water504, clouds3507 that are carried1643 with5259 a tempest2978; to whom3739 the mist2217 of darkness4655 is reserved5083 for1519 ever165.

2:18

For1063 when they speak5350 great swelling5246 words of vanity3153, they allure1185 through1722 the lusts1939 of the flesh4561, through much wantonness766, those that were clean3689 escaped668 from them who live390 in1722 error4106.

2:19

While they promise1861 them846 liberty1657, they themselves846 are5225 the servants1401 of corruption5356: for1063 of whom3739 a man5100 is overcome2274 of the same5129 is he brought in bondage1402.

2:20

For1063 if1487 after they have escaped668 the pollutions3393 of the world2889 through1722 the knowledge1922 of the Master2962 and2532 Saviour4990 Yahshua2424 Messiah5547, they are1707 again3825 entangled1707 therein5125, and1161 overcome1096, the latter end2078 is worse5501 with them846 than the beginning4413.

2:21

For1063 it had been2258 better2909 for them846 not3361 to have known1921 the way3598 of righteousness1343, than2228, after they have known1921 it, to turn1994 from1537 the holy40 commandment1785 delivered3860 unto them846.

2:22

But1161 it is happened4819 unto them846 according to3588 the true227 proverb3942, The dog2965 is turned1994 to1909 his own2398 vomit1829 again1994; and2532 the sow5300 that was washed3068 to1519 her wallowing2946 in the mire1004.
