- 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
- 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
- 3 And by covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
- 4 Because if God did not spare not the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;
- 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
- 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with to destruction, making them an ensample to those who afterward would live ungodly;
- 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed with the filthy conduct of the wicked
- 8 (because that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds),
- 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust for the day of judgment to be punished,
- 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,
- 11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.
- 12 But these, like natural brute beasts, made to be captured and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,
