[[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-2|2]] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-3|3]] And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgement now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-4|4]] 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 to judgement; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-5|5]] 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; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-6|6]] And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned [(//them//)] with an overthrow, making [(//them//)] an ensample to those that after should live ungodly; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-7|7]] And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-8|8]] (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed [(//his//)] righteous soul from day to day with [(//their//)] unlawful deeds;) [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-9|9]] The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgement to be punished: [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-10|10]] But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [(//are they//)], self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-11|11]] Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-12|12]] 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; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-13|13]] 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; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-14|14]] Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practises; cursed children: [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-15|15]] Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [(//the son//)] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-16|16]] But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbid the madness of the prophet. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-17|17]] These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-18|18]] 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. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-19|19]] 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. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-20|20]] 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. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-21|21]] 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 to them. [[new testament:interlinear:2Peter2-22|22]] But it is happened to 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. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:2peter:2peter:chapters:chapter1|1]] [[new testament:2peter:2peter:chapters:chapter2|2]] [[new testament:2peter:2peter:chapters:chapter3|3]] {{like>}}
