drb @2Peter:2:1 @But there were also false prophets among the people , even as there shall be among you lying teachers , who shall bring in sects of perdition , and deny the Lord who bought them : bringing upon themselves swift destruction . drb @2Peter:2:2 @And many shall follow their riotousnesses , through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of . drb @2Peter:2:3 @And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you . Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not , and their perdition slumbereth not . drb @2Peter:2:4 @For if God spared not the angels that sinned , but delivered them , drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell , unto torments , to be reserved unto judgment : drb @2Peter:2:5 @And spared not the original world , but preserved Noe , the eighth person , the preacher of justice , bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly . drb @2Peter:2:6 @And reducing the cities of the Sodomites , and of the Gomorrhites , into ashes , condemned them to be overthrown , making them an example to those that should after act wickedly . drb @2Peter:2:7 @And delivered just Lot , oppressed by the injustice and lewd conversation of the wicked . drb @2Peter:2:8 @For in sight and hearing he was just : dwelling among them , who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works . drb @2Peter:2:9 @The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation , but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented . drb @2Peter:2:10 @And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness , and despise government , audacious , self willed , they fear not to bring in sects , blaspheming . drb @2Peter:2:11 @Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power , bring not against themselves a railing judgment . drb @2Peter:2:12 @But these men , as irrational beasts , naturally tending to the snare and to destruction , blaspheming those things which they know not , shall perish in their corruption , drb @2Peter:2:13 @Receiving the reward of their injustice , counting for a pleasure the delights of a day : stains and spots , sporting themselves to excess , rioting in their feasts with you : drb @2Peter:2:14 @Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not : alluring unstable souls , having their heart exercised with covetousness , children of malediction : drb @2Peter:2:15 @Leaving the right way they have gone astray , having followed the way of Balaam of Bosor , who loved the wages of iniquity , drb @2Peter:2:16 @But had a check of his madness , the dumb beast used to the yoke , which speaking with man 's voice , forbade the folly of the prophet . drb @2Peter:2:17 @These are fountains without water , and clouds tossed with whirlwinds , to whom the mist of darkness is reserved . drb @2Peter:2:18 @For , speaking proud words of vanity , they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness , those who for a little while escape , such as converse in error : drb @2Peter:2:19 @Promising them liberty , whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption . For by whom a man is overcome , of the same also he is the slave . drb @2Peter:2:20 @For if , flying from the pollutions of the world , through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ , they be again entangled in them and overcome : their latter state is become unto them worse than the former . drb @2Peter:2:21 @For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice , than after they have known it , to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them . drb @2Peter:2:22 @For , that of the true proverb has happened to them : The dog is returned to his vomit : and , The sow that was washed , to her wallowing in the mire .
