2 Peter 2:8-22

2:8

(For
<1063>

that righteous man
<1342>

dwelling
<1460> (5723)

among
<1722>

them
<846>_,

in seeing
<990>

and
<2532>

hearing
<189>_,

vexed
<928> (5707)

[his] righteous
<1342>

soul
<5590>

from day
<2250>

to
<1537>

day
<2250>

with [their] unlawful
<459>

deeds
<2041>;)

2:9

The Lord
<2962>

knoweth
<1492> (5758)

how to deliver
<4506> (5738)

the godly
<2152>

out of
<1537>

temptations
<3986>_,

and
<1161>

to reserve
<5083> (5721)

the unjust
<94>

unto
<1519>

the day
<2250>

of judgment
<2920>

to be punished
<2849> (5746)_:

2:10

But
<1161>

chiefly
<3122>

them that walk
<4198> (5740)

after
<3694>

the flesh
<4561>

in
<1722>

the lust
<1939>

of uncleanness
<3394>_,

and
<2532>

despise
<2706> (5723)

government
<2963>_.

Presumptuous
<5113>

[are they], selfwilled
<829>_,

they are not
<3756>

afraid
<5141> (5719)

to speak evil
<987> (5723)

of dignities
<1391>_.

{government: or, dominion}

2:11

Whereas
<3699>

angels
<32>_,

which are
<5607> (5752)

greater in
<3187>

power
<2479>

and
<2532>

might
<1411>_,

bring
<5342> (5719)

not
<3756>

railing
<989>

accusation
<2920>

against
<2596>

them
<846>

before
<3844>

the Lord
<2962>_.

{them: some read, themselves}

2:12

But
<1161>

these
<3778>_,

as
<5613>

natural
<5446>

brute
<249>

beasts
<2226>_,

made
<1080> (5772)

to
<1519>

be taken
<259>

and
<2532>

destroyed
<5356>_,

speak evil
<987> (5723)

of
<1722>

the things that
<3739>

they understand not
<50> (5719)_;

and shall utterly perish
<2704> (5691)

in
<1722>

their own
<846>

corruption
<5356>_;

2:13

And shall receive
<2865> (5697)

the reward
<3408>

of unrighteousness
<93>_,

[as] they that count
<2233> (5740)

it pleasure
<2237>

to riot
<5172>

in
<1722>

the day time
<2250>_.

Spots
<4696>

[they are] and
<2532>

blemishes
<3470>_,

sporting themselves
<1792> (5723)

with
<1722>

their own
<846>

deceivings
<539>

while they feast
<4910> (5740)

with you
<5213>_;

2:14

Having
<2192> (5723)

eyes
<3788>

full
<3324>

of adultery
<3428>_,

and
<2532>

that cannot cease from
<180>

sin
<266>_;

beguiling
<1185> (5723)

unstable
<793>

souls
<5590>_:

an heart
<2588>

they have
<2192> (5723)

exercised
<1128> (5772)

with covetous practices
<4124>_;

cursed
<2671>

children
<5043>_:

{adultery: Gr. an adulteress}

2:15

Which have forsaken
<2641> (5631)

the right
<2117>

way
<3598>_,

and are gone astray
<4105> (5681)_,

following
<1811> (5660)

the way
<3598>

of Balaam
<903>

[the son] of Bosor
<1007>_,

who
<3739>

loved
<25> (5656)

the wages
<3408>

of unrighteousness
<93>_;

2:16

But
<1161>

was
<2192> (5627)

rebuked
<1649>

for his
<2398>

iniquity
<3892>_:

the dumb
<880>

ass
<5268>

speaking
<5350> (5674)

with
<1722>

man's
<444>

voice
<5456>

forbad
<2967> (5656)

the madness
<3913>

of the prophet
<4396>_.

2:17

These
<3778>

are
<1526> (5748)

wells
<4077>

without water
<504>_,

clouds
<3507>

that are carried
<1643> (5746)

with
<5259>

a tempest
<2978>_;

to whom
<3739>

the mist
<2217>

of darkness
<4655>

is reserved
<5083> (5769)

for
<1519>

ever
<165>_.

2:18

For
<1063>

when they speak
<5350> (5726)

great swelling
<5246>

[words] of vanity
<3153>_,

they allure
<1185> (5719)

through
<1722>

the lusts
<1939>

of the flesh
<4561>_,

[through much] wantonness
<766>_,

those that were clean
<3689>

escaped
<668> (5631)

from them who live
<390> (5746)

in
<1722>

error
<4106>_.

{clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}

2:19

While they promise
<1861> (5740)

them
<846>

liberty
<1657>_,

they themselves
<846>

are
<5225> (5723)

the servants
<1401>

of corruption
<5356>_:

for
<1063>

of whom
<3739>

a man
<5100>

is overcome
<2274> (5766)_,

<2532>

of the same
<5129>

is he brought in bondage
<1402> (5769)_.

2:20

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

after they have escaped
<668> (5631)

the pollutions
<3393>

of the world
<2889>

through
<1722>

the knowledge
<1922>

of the Lord
<2962>

and
<2532>

Saviour
<4990>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

they are
<1707> (0)

again
<3825>

entangled
<1707> (5651)

therein
<5125>_,

and
<1161>

overcome
<1096> (5754) <2274> (5736)_,

the latter end
<2078>

is worse
<5501>

with them
<846>

than the beginning
<4413>_.

2:21

For
<1063>

it had been
<2258> (5713)

better
<2909>

for them
<846>

not
<3361>

to have known
<1921> (5760)

the way
<3598>

of righteousness
<1343>_,

than
<2228>_,

after they have known
<1921> (5631)

[it], to turn
<1994> (5658)

from
<1537>

the holy
<40>

commandment
<1785>

delivered
<3860> (5685)

unto them
<846>_.

2:22

But
<1161>

it is happened
<4819> (5758)

unto them
<846>

according to
<3588>

the true
<227>

proverb
<3942>_,

The dog
<2965>

[is] turned
<1994> (0)

to
<1909>

his own
<2398>

vomit
<1829>

again
<1994> (5660)_;

and
<2532>

the sow
<5300>

that was washed
<3068> (5671)

to
<1519>

her wallowing
<2946>

in the mire
<1004>_.
