< 2 Peter 2 >

1 But false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.
There were however also false prophets among the people as also among you there will be false teachers, who will stealthily introduce heresies destructive even the having bought them Master denying, bringing upon themselves imminent destruction;
2 Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
And many will follow after their (sensuality, *NK+O) through whom the way of the truth will be denigrated;
3 In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.
And through covetousness with fabricated words you they will exploit, for whom the judgment of long ago not is idle and the destruction of them not (slumbers. *NK+o)
4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgment; (Tartaroō g5020)
If for the God of [the] angels [who] having sinned not spared, but (in chains *NK+O) of gloomy darkness to Tartarus He delivered [them] for judgment (being kept, *N+kO) (Tartaroō g5020)
5 and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
and [the] ancient world not He spared, but one of eight Noah of righteousness a herald preserved [the] flood upon [the] world of [the] ungodly having brought in,
6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live in an ungodly way,
and [the] cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having reduced to ashes to destruction He condemned [them] an example of what is coming on (ungodly *N+kO) having set
7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
and righteous Lot being distressed by the of the lawless in sensuality conduct He rescued;
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds),
through seeing for and hearing that righteous [man] dwelling among them day after day in [his] soul righteous with [their] lawless deeds was tormented;
9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,
[then] knows [the] Lord [the] devout out of temptation to deliver, [the] unrighteous then unto [the] day of judgment being punished to keep,
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
especially then those after [the] flesh in [the] passion of defilement walking and authority despising. Bold, self-willed, glorious ones not they tremble blaspheming;
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don’t bring a slanderous judgment against them before the Lord.
whereas angels in strength and in power greater being not they do bring against them ([from the] Lord *N+KO) a reviling judgment.
12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
These however like irrational animals (they were born *N+KO) as creatures of instinct for capture and destruction, in what they are ignorant of blaspheming in the destruction of them (also *no) (will be destroyed *N+kO)
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;
(suffering *N+KO) [as the] wage of unrighteousness. [as] pleasure esteeming in daytime carousal, blots and blemishes, reveling in the (deceptions *NK+o) of them feasting with you,
14 having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin, enticing unsettled souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children!
eyes having full of adultery and unceasing from sin, enticing souls unestablished, a heart exercised (in craving *N+KO) having — of a curse children!
15 Forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;
(leaving *N+kO) (the *k) straight way they have gone astray, having followed in the way of Balaam [son] of Bosor, who [the] wage of unrighteousness loved,
16 but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A speechless donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.
reproof however he had for his own transgression; [by] a donkey mute in a man’s voice having spoken it restrained the of the prophet madness.
17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. (questioned)
These are springs without water (and *no) (mists *N+kO) by storm being driven, for whom gloom of darkness (into age *K) has been reserved. (questioned)
18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
Arrogant for of vanity speaking words they entice with [the] passions of [the] flesh to sensuality those (scarcely *N+KO) (escaping *N+kO) from those in error living,
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
freedom them promising, themselves slaves being of corruption; By what for anyone has been subdued, by that (and *ko) he has been enslaved.
20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
If for having escaped the pollutions of the world through [the] knowledge of the Lord (of us *N) and Savior Jesus Christ, in these now again having been entangled they are subdued, has become to them the last [state] worse than the first.
21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
Better for it was being for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known [it] (to have turned *N+kO) from the having been delivered to them holy commandment.
22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and “the sow that has washed to wallowing in the mire.”
Has happened (now *k) to them the [thing] of the true proverb: A dog having returned to [its] own vomit; and A sow having washed to [her] (rolling place *N+kO) in [the] mire.
