2 Peter 2 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

The Rise of False Prophets

2Pe 2:1And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

2Pe 2:2

2Pe 2:2and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of,

2Pe 2:3

2Pe 2:3and in covetousness, with moulded words, of you they shall make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction doth not slumber.

2Pe 2:4

2Pe 2:4For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with chains of thick gloom, having cast them down to Tartarus, did deliver them to judgment, having been reserved,

2Pe 2:5

2Pe 2:5and the old world did not spare, but the eighth person, Noah, of righteousness a preacher, did keep, a flood on the world of the impious having brought,

2Pe 2:6

2Pe 2:6and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having turned to ashes, with an overthrow did condemn, an example to those about to be impious having set them;

2Pe 2:7

2Pe 2:7and righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct in lasciviousness of the impious, He did rescue,

2Pe 2:8

2Pe 2:8for in seeing and hearing, the righteous man, dwelling among them, day by day the righteous soul with unlawful works was harassing.

2Pe 2:9

2Pe 2:9The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

2Pe 2:10

2Pe 2:10and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of,

2Pe 2:11

2Pe 2:11whereas messengers, in strength and power being greater, do not bear against them before the Lord an evil speaking judgment;

2Pe 2:12

2Pe 2:12and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught and destroyed -- in what things they are ignorant of, speaking evil -- in their destruction shall be destroyed,

2Pe 2:13

2Pe 2:13about to receive a reward of unrighteousness, pleasures counting the luxury in the day, spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their deceits, feasting with you,

2Pe 2:14

2Pe 2:14having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in covetousnesses, children of a curse,

2Pe 2:15

2Pe 2:15having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love,

2Pe 2:16

2Pe 2:16and had a rebuke of his own iniquity -- a dumb ass, in man's voice having spoken, did forbid the madness of the prophet.

2Pe 2:17

2Pe 2:17These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest driven, to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept;

2Pe 2:18

2Pe 2:18for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

2Pe 2:19

2Pe 2:19liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude,

2Pe 2:20

2Pe 2:20for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first,

2Pe 2:21

2Pe 2:21for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them,

2Pe 2:22

2Pe 2:22and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; 'A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, 'A sow having bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.'
