2 Peter 2:2-3

2:2 And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. Because of these false teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. 2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.


tn “Debauched lifestyles” is literally “licentiousnesses,” “sensualities,” “debaucheries.”

tn Grk “because of whom,” introducing a subordinate clause to the first part of the verse.

tn Or “blasphemed,” “reviled,” “treated with contempt.”

tn Grk “to whom,” introducing a subordinate relative clause.

tn Grk “the ancient judgment.”

tn Grk “is not idle.”

tn Greek has “and their.” As introducing a synonymous parallel, it is superfluous in English.
