Discovery Box2 Peter 2:2-3 
Context2:2 And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. 1 Because of these false teachers, 2 the way of truth will be slandered. 3 2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their 4 condemnation pronounced long ago 5 is not sitting idly by; 6 their 7 destruction is not asleep.

2 tn Grk “because of whom,” introducing a subordinate clause to the first part of the verse.
3 tn Or “blasphemed,” “reviled,” “treated with contempt.”
4 tn Grk “to whom,” introducing a subordinate relative clause.
5 tn Grk “the ancient judgment.”
6 tn Grk “is not idle.”
