| 2nd-Peter 2:1 | But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it. | But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall be also among you false teachers, who shall bring in by the bye destructive heresies, and deny the master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction; | But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruction. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:2 | And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name. | and many shall follow their dissolute ways, through whom the way of the truth shall be blasphemed. | And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:3 | And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them. | And through covetousness, with well-turned words, will they make merchandise of you: for whom judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction slumbers not. | Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:4 | For if God did not have pity for the angels who did evil, but sent them down into hell, to be kept in chains of eternal night till they were judged; | For if God spared not [the] angels who had sinned, but having cast them down to the deepest pit of gloom has delivered them to chains of darkness [to be] kept for judgment; | For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:5 | And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers; | and spared not [the] old world, but preserved Noe, [the] eighth, a preacher of righteousness, having brought in [the] flood upon [the] world of [the] ungodly; | And He did not spare the ancient world, although He preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:6 | And sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, burning them up with fire as an example to those whose way of life might in the future be unpleasing to him; | and having reduced [the] cities of Sodom and Gomorrha to ashes, condemned [them] with an overthrow, setting [them as] an example to those that should [afterwards] live an ungodly life; | He reduced to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them to overthrow, making them an example to people who might in future be living godless lives. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:7 | And kept safe Lot, the upright man, who was deeply troubled by the unclean life of the evil-doers | and saved righteous Lot, distressed with the abandoned conversation of the godless, | But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:8 | (Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes): | (for the righteous man through seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, tormented [his] righteous soul day after day with [their] lawless works,) | (For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.) |
| 2nd-Peter 2:9 | The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging; | [the] Lord knows [how] to deliver the godly out of trial, and to keep [the] unjust to [the] day of judgment [to be] punished; | Since all this is so, the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from temptation, and on the other hand how to keep the unrighteous under punishment in readiness for the Day of Judgement, |
| 2nd-Peter 2:10 | But specially those who go after the unclean desires of the flesh, and make sport of authority. Ready to take chances, uncontrolled, they have no fear of saying evil of those in high places: | and specially those who walk after the flesh in [the] lust of uncleanness, and despise lordship. Bold [are they], self-willed; they do not fear speaking injuriously of dignities: | and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings; |
| 2nd-Peter 2:11 | Though the angels, who are greater in strength and power, do not make use of violent language against them before the Lord. | when angels, who are greater in might and power, do not bring against them, before the Lord, an injurious charge. | while angels, though greater than they in might and power, do not bring any insulting accusation against such in the presence of the Lord. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:12 | But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others; | But these, as natural animals without reason, made to be caught and destroyed, speaking injuriously in things they are ignorant of, shall also perish in their own corruption, | But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish, |
| 2nd-Peter 2:13 | For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy; | receiving [the] reward of unrighteousness; accounting ephemeral indulgence pleasure; spots and blemishes, rioting in their own deceits, feasting with you; | being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:14 | Having eyes full of evil desire, never having enough of sin; turning feeble souls out of the true way; they are children of cursing, whose hearts are well used to bitter envy; | having eyes full of adultery, and that cease not from sin, alluring unestablished souls; having a heart practised in covetousness, children of curse; | Their very eyes are full of adultery being eyes which never cease from sin. These men set traps to catch unstedfast souls, their own hearts being well trained in greed. They are fore-doomed to God's curse! |
| 2nd-Peter 2:15 | Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing; | having left [the] straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the path of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved [the] reward of unrighteousness; | Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:16 | But his wrongdoing was pointed out to him: an ass, talking with a man's voice, put a stop to the error of the prophet. | but had reproof of his own wickedness [the] dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet. | But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:17 | These are fountains without water, and mists before a driving storm; for whom the eternal night is kept in store. | These are springs without water, and mists driven by storm, to whom the gloom of darkness is reserved [for ever]. | These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has been reserved. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:18 | For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error; | For [while] speaking great highflown words of vanity, they allure with [the] lusts of [the] flesh, by dissoluteness, those who have just fled those who walk in error, | For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings every kind of immorality as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:19 | Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him. | promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a man is subdued, by him is he also brought into slavery. | And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:20 | For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first. | For if after having escaped the pollutions of the world through [the] knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, again entangled, they are subdued by these, their last state is worse than the first. | For if, after escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, their last state has become worse than their first. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:21 | For it would have been better for them to have had no knowledge of the way of righteousness, than to go back again from the holy law which was given to them, after having knowledge of it. | For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known [it] to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. | For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed. |
| 2nd-Peter 2:22 | They are an example of that true saying, The dog has gone back to the food it had put out, and the pig which had been washed to its rolling in the dirty earth. | But that [word] of the true proverb has happened to them: [The] dog [has] turned back to his own vomit; and, [The] washed sow to [her] rolling in mud. | Their case is that described in the true proverb, "A dog returns to what he has vomited," and also in the other proverb, "The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth." |
