2 Peter 2:3

2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their ¹  condemnation pronounced long ago ²  is not sitting idly by; ³  their ⁴  destruction is not asleep.

2 Peter 2:18

2:18 For by speaking high-sounding but empty words ⁵  they are able to entice, ⁶  with fleshly desires and with debauchery, ⁷  people ⁸  who have just escaped ⁹  from those who reside in error. ¹⁰ 

[2:3]  ¹ tn Grk “to whom,” introducing a subordinate relative clause.

[2:3]  ² tn Grk “the ancient judgment.”

[2:3]  ³ tn Grk “is not idle.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Greek has “and their.” As introducing a synonymous parallel, it is superfluous in English.

[2:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “high-sounding words of futility.”

[2:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “they entice.”

[2:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “with the lusts of the flesh, with debauchery.”

[2:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “those.”

[2:18]  ⁹ tn Or “those who are barely escaping.”

[2:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “deceit.”
