But false prophets
also
arose
among
the people,
just
as there will
also
be false teachers
among
you, who
will secretly introduce
destructive
heresies,
even
denying
the Master
who bought
them, bringing
swift
destruction
upon themselves.
2
Many
will follow
their sensuality,
and because
of them the way
of the truth
will be maligned;
3
and in their greed
they will exploit
you with false
words;
their judgment
from long ago
is not idle,
and their destruction
is not asleep.
4
For if
God
did not spare
angels
when they sinned,
but cast them into hell
and committed
them to pits
of darkness,
reserved
for judgment;
5
and did not spare
the ancient
world,
but preserved
Noah,
a preacher
of righteousness,
with seven others,
when He brought
a flood
upon the world
of the ungodly;
6
and if He condemned
the cities
of Sodom
and Gomorrah
to destruction
by reducing them to ashes,
having made
them an example
to those who would
live ungodly
lives thereafter;
7
and if He rescued
righteous
Lot,
oppressed
by the sensual
conduct
of unprincipled men
8
(for by what he saw
and heard
that righteous
man,
while living
among
them, felt
his righteous
soul
tormented
day
after
day
by their lawless
deeds),
9
then the Lord
knows how
to rescue
the godly
from temptation,
and to keep
the unrighteous
under punishment
for the day
of judgment,
10
and especially
those
who indulge
the flesh
in its corrupt
desires
and despise
authority.
Daring,
self-willed,
they do not tremble
when they revile
angelic majesties,
11
whereas
angels
who are greater
in might
and power
do not bring
a reviling
judgment
against
them before
the Lord.
12
But these,
like
unreasoning
animals,
born
as creatures of instinct
to be captured
and killed,
reviling
where
they have no knowledge,
will in the destruction
of those
creatures also
be destroyed,
13
suffering wrong
as the wages
of doing wrong.
They count
it a pleasure
to revel
in the daytime.
They are stains
and blemishes,
reveling
in their deceptions,
as they carouse
with you,
14
having
eyes
full
of adultery
that never cease
from sin,
enticing
unstable
souls,
having
a heart
trained
in greed,
accursed
children;
15
forsaking
the right
way,
they have gone astray,
having followed
the way
of Balaam,
the son of Beor,
who
loved
the wages
of unrighteousness;
16
but he received
a rebuke
for his own
transgression,
for a mute
donkey,
speaking
with a voice
of a man,
restrained
the madness
of the prophet.
17
These
are springs
without water
and mists
driven
by a storm,
for whom
the black
darkness
has been reserved.
18
For speaking
out arrogant
words of vanity
they entice
by fleshly
desires,
by sensuality,
those
who barely
escape
from the ones who live
in error,
19
promising
them freedom
while they themselves
are slaves
of corruption;
for by what
a man
is overcome,
by this
he is enslaved.
20
For if,
after they have escaped
the defilements
of the world
by the knowledge
of the Lord
and Savior
Jesus
Christ,
they are again
entangled
in them and are overcome,
the last
state has become
worse
for them than the first.
21
For it would be better
for them not to have known
the way
of righteousness,
than
having known
it, to turn away
from the holy
commandment
handed
on to them.
22
It has happened
to them according to the true
proverb,
"A DOG
RETURNS
TO ITS OWN
VOMIT,"
and, "A sow,
after washing,
returns to wallowing
in the mire."
