| 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 also arose false prophets among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, 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. | Many will follow their destructive ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned. |
| 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. | In covetousness will they exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn't linger, and their destruction will not slumber. |
| 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 if God didn't spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved to judgment; |
| 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 didn't spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood 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; | and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly; |
| 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, | and delivered righteous Lot, very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked |
| 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 that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, tormented his righteous soul from day to day with lawless deeds): |
| 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; | the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment; |
| 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: | but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries; |
| 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. | whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don't bring a railing judgment against them before 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, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed, |
| 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; | receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast 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; | having eyes full of adultery, and who can't cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing; |
| 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 right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrong-doing; |
| 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 own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with man's voice and stopped 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 are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. |
| 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, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from 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. | promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he also brought into bondage. |
| 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 they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the 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 be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. |
| 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. | But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, "The dog turns to his own vomit again," and "the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire." |
