| 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 pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. | 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 shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth 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 that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto 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 saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing 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 turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; | 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 delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: | 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 that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) | (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 knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto 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: | 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. | 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. | Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. | 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 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; | 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; | 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; | 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 cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: | 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 2:16 | 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 was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness 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 wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist 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 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. | 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. | 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. | 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 they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. | 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 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. | 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 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. | 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." |
