2 Peter 2:1-22 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

1 G1161 But G1096 there arose G5578 false prophets G2532 also G1722 among G2992 the people, G5613 as G1722 among G5213 you G2532 also G2071 there shall be G5572 false teachers, G3748 who G3919 shall privily bring in G684 destructive G139 heresies, G720 denying G2532 even G1203 the Master G59 that bought G846 them, G1863 bringing upon G1438 themselves G5031 swift G684 destruction.

2 G2532 And G4183 many G1811 shall follow G846 their G684 lascivious doings; G1223 by reason of G3739 whom G3598 the way G225 of the truth G987 shall be evil spoken of.

3 G2532 And G1722 in G4124 covetousness G1710 shall they G4112 with feigned G3056 words G1710 make merchandise G5209 of you: G3739 whose G2917 sentence G691 now G1597 from of old G691 lingereth G3756 not, G2532 and G846 their G684 destruction G3573 slumbereth G3756 not.

4 G1063 For G1487 if G2316 God G5339 spared G3756 not G32 angels G264 when they sinned, G235 but G5020 cast G5020 them down to hell, G3860 and committed G4577 them to pits G2217 of darkness, G5083 to be reserved G1519 unto G2920 judgment;

5 G2532 and G5339 spared G3756 not G2889 the G744 ancient G2889 world, G235 but G5442 preserved G3575 Noah G3590 with seven others, G2783 a preacher G1343 of righteousness, G1863 when he brought G2627 a flood G2889 upon the world G765 of the ungodly;

6 G2532 and G5077 turning G4172 the cities G4670 of Sodom G2532 and G1116 Gomorrah G5077 into ashes G2632 condemned G2692 them with an overthrow, G5087 having made G5262 them an example G3195 unto those that should G764 live ungodly;

7 G2532 and G4506 delivered G1342 righteous G3091 Lot, G2669 sore distressed G5259 by G766 the lascivious G391 life G113 of the wicked

8 G1063 (for G1342 that righteous man G1460 dwelling G1722 among G846 them, G990 in seeing G2532 and G189 hearing, G928 vexed G1342 his righteous G5590 soul G1537 from G2250 day G1537 to G2250 day G2041 with G459 their lawless G2041 deeds):

9 G2962 the Lord G1492 knoweth how G4506 to deliver G2152 the godly G1537 out of G3986 temptation, G1161 and G5083 to keep G94 the unrighteous G2849 under punishment G1519 unto G2250 the day G2920 of judgment;

10 G1161 but G3122 chiefly G4198 them that walk G3694 after G4561 the flesh G1722 in G1939 the lust G3394 of defilement, G2532 and G2706 despise G2963 dominion. G5113 Daring, G829 self-willed, G5141 they tremble G3756 not G987 to rail G1391 at dignities:

11 G3699 whereas G32 angels, G5607 though G3173 greater G1411 in might G2532 and G2479 power, G5342 bring G3756 not G989 a railing G2920 judgment G2596 against G846 them G3844 before G2962 the Lord.

12 G1161 But G3778 these, G5613 as G249 creatures without reason, G1080 born G5446 mere G2226 animals G1519 to G259 be taken G2532 and G5356 destroyed, G987 railing G1722 in G3739 matters whereof G50 they are ignorant, G1722 shall in G846 their G5356 destroying G2704 surely be destroyed,

13 G2865 suffering G3408 wrong as the hire G93 of wrong-doing; G2233 men that count G2237 it pleasure G5172 to revel G1722 in G2250 the day-time, G4696 spots G2532 and G3470 blemishes, G1792 revelling G1722 in G846 their G539 deceivings G4910 while they feast G5213 with you;

14 G2192 having G3788 eyes G3324 full G3428 of adultery, G2532 and G180 that cannot cease G266 from sin; G1185 enticing G793 unstedfast G2192 souls; G2588 having a heart G1128 exercised G4124 in covetousness; G5043 children G2671 of cursing;

15 G2641 forsaking G2117 the right G3598 way, G4105 they went astray, G1811 having followed G3598 the way G903 of Balaam G1007 the son of Beor, G3739 who G25 loved G3408 the hire G93 of wrong-doing;

16 G1161 but G2192 he was G1649 rebuked G3892 for G2398 his G3892 own transgression: G880 a dumb G5268 ass G5350 spake G1722 with G444 man's G5456 voice G2967 and stayed G3913 the madness G4396 of the prophet.

17 G3778 These G1526 are G4077 springs G504 without water, G3507 and mists G1643 driven G5259 by G2978 a storm; G3739 for whom G2217 the blackness G4655 of darkness G5083 hath been reserved.

18 G1063 For, G5350 uttering G5246 great swelling G3153 words of vanity, G1185 they entice G1722 in G1939 the lusts G4561 of the flesh, G766 by lasciviousness, G3689 those who are just G668 escaping G390 from them that live G1722 in G4106 error;

19 G1861 promising G846 them G1657 liberty, G846 while they themselves G5225 are G1401 bondservants G5356 of corruption; G1063 for G3739 of whom G5100 a man G2274 is overcome, G5129 of the same G1402 is he also brought into bondage.

20 G1063 For G1487 if, G668 after they have escaped G3393 the defilements G2889 of the world G1722 through G1922 the knowledge G2962 of the Lord G2532 and G4990 Saviour G2424 Jesus G1161 Christ, G1707 they are G3825 again G1707 entangled G5125 therein G2274 and overcome, G2078 the last state G1096 is G5501 become worse G846 with them G4413 than the first.

21 G1063 For G2909 it were better G1063 for G846 them G3361 not G1921 to have known G3598 the way G1343 of righteousness, G2228 than, G1921 after knowing G1994 it, to turn G1537 back from G1785 the G40 holy G1785 commandment G3860 delivered G846 unto them.

22 G1161 G4819 It has happened G846 unto them G3942 according to the G227 true G3942 proverb, G2965 The dog G1994 turning G1909 to G2398 his own G1829 vomit G1994 again, G2532 and G5300 the sow G3068 that had washed G1519 to G2946 wallowing G1004 in the mire.
