2Pe 2 Peter, chapter Second Epistle of Peter, chapter 2

And many shall follow their pernicious (destructive, something that can injure) ways; by reason of whom the way of tshall be evil spoken of.2Ti 4:3
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.Rom 16:18
For if God-The Father spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;Job 4:18; 1Jn 3:8
And spared not the old world, but saved No’ach [rest] the eighth [person], preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;Gen 7:7
And turning the cities of S’dom [Burning] and ‘Amorah [a ruined heap] into ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an example unto those that after should live ungodly;Gen 19:24
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) of the wicked:Gen 19:5; Gen 19:9
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful deeds;)Ezk 9:4
The Lord - Kurios knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:Psa 91:15; 1Co 10:13
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord - Kurios.
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;Rom 16:18; Php 3:19
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:1Ti 6:10
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Bil’am [Not of the People] [the son] of B’sor [burning or torch], who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.Num 22:23
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.
For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.Jhn 8:34; Rom 6:16
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord - Kurios and Saviour Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], they are again entangled in it, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.Mat 12:45; Luk 11:26
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.Jhn 15:22
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.Pro 26:11
