1But^G1161 there arose^G1096 false prophets^G5578 also^G2532 among^G1722 the people^G2992, as^G5613 among^G1722 you^G5213 also^G2532 there shall be^G2071 false teachers^G5572, who^G3748 shall privily bring in^G3919 destructive^G684 heresies^G139, denying^G720 even^G2532 the Master^G1203 that bought^G59 them^G846, bringing upon^G1863 themselves^G1438 swift^G5031 destruction^G684. 2And^G2532 many^G4183 shall follow^G1811 their^G846 lascivious doings^G684; by reason of^G1223 whom^G3739 the way^G3598 of the truth^G225 shall be evil spoken of^G987. 3And^G2532 in^G1722 covetousness^G4124 shall they^G1710 with feigned^G4112 words^G3056 make merchandise^G1710 of you^G5209: whose^G3739 sentence^G2917 now^G691 from of old^G1597 lingereth^G691 not^G3756, and^G2532 their^G846 destruction^G684 slumbereth^G3573 not^G3756. 4For^G1063 if^G1487 God^G2316 spared^G5339 not^G3756 angels^G32 when they sinned^G264, but^G235 cast^G5020 them down to hell^G5020, and committed^G3860 them to pits^G4577 of darkness^G2217, to be reserved^G5083 unto^G1519 judgment^G2920; 5and^G2532 spared^G5339 not^G3756 the^G2889 ancient^G744 world^G2889, but^G235 preserved^G5442 Noah^G3575 with seven others^G3590, a preacher^G2783 of righteousness^G1343, when he brought^G1863 a flood^G2627 upon the world^G2889 of the ungodly^G765; 6and^G2532 turning^G5077 the cities^G4172 of Sodom^G4670 and^G2532 Gomorrah^G1116 into ashes^G5077 condemned^G2632 them with an overthrow^G2692, having made^G5087 them an example^G5262 unto those that should^G3195 live ungodly^G764; 7and^G2532 delivered^G4506 righteous^G1342 Lot^G3091, sore distressed^G2669 by^G5259 the lascivious^G766 life^G391 of the wicked^G113 8(for^G1063 that righteous man^G1342 dwelling^G1460 among^G1722 them^G846, in seeing^G990 and^G2532 hearing^G189, vexed^G928 his righteous^G1342 soul^G5590 from^G1537 day^G2250 to^G1537 day^G2250 with^G2041 their lawless^G459 deeds^G2041): 9the Lord^G2962 knoweth how^G1492 to deliver^G4506 the godly^G2152 out of^G1537 temptation^G3986, and^G1161 to keep^G5083 the unrighteous^G94 under punishment^G2849 unto^G1519 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920; 10but^G1161 chiefly^G3122 them that walk^G4198 after^G3694 the flesh^G4561 in^G1722 the lust^G1939 of defilement^G3394, and^G2532 despise^G2706 dominion^G2963. Daring^G5113, self-willed^G829, they tremble^G5141 not^G3756 to rail^G987 at dignities^G1391: 11whereas^G3699 angels^G32, though^G5607 greater^G3173 in might^G1411 and^G2532 power^G2479, bring^G5342 not^G3756 a railing^G989 judgment^G2920 against^G2596 them^G846 before^G3844 the Lord^G2962. 12But^G1161 these^G3778, as^G5613 creatures without reason^G249, born^G1080 mere^G5446 animals^G2226 to^G1519 be taken^G259 and^G2532 destroyed^G5356, railing^G987 in^G1722 matters whereof^G3739 they are ignorant^G50, shall in^G1722 their^G846 destroying^G5356 surely be destroyed^G2704, 13suffering^G2865 wrong as the hire^G3408 of wrong-doing^G93; men that count^G2233 it pleasure^G2237 to revel^G5172 in^G1722 the day-time^G2250, spots^G4696 and^G2532 blemishes^G3470, revelling^G1792 in^G1722 their^G846 deceivings^G539 while they feast^G4910 with you^G5213; 14having^G2192 eyes^G3788 full^G3324 of adultery^G3428, and^G2532 that cannot cease^G180 from sin^G266; enticing^G1185 unstedfast^G793 souls^G2192; having a heart^G2588 exercised^G1128 in covetousness^G4124; children^G5043 of cursing^G2671; 15forsaking^G2641 the right^G2117 way^G3598, they went astray^G4105, having followed^G1811 the way^G3598 of Balaam^G903 the son of Beor^G1007, who^G3739 loved^G25 the hire^G3408 of wrong-doing^G93; 16but^G1161 he was^G2192 rebuked^G1649 for^G3892 his^G2398 own transgression^G3892: a dumb^G880 ass^G5268 spake^G5350 with^G1722 man's^G444 voice^G5456 and stayed^G2967 the madness^G3913 of the prophet^G4396. 17These^G3778 are^G1526 springs^G4077 without water^G504, and mists^G3507 driven^G1643 by^G5259 a storm^G2978; for whom^G3739 the blackness^G2217 of darkness^G4655 hath been reserved^G5083. 18For^G1063, uttering^G5350 great swelling^G5246 words of vanity^G3153, they entice^G1185 in^G1722 the lusts^G1939 of the flesh^G4561, by lasciviousness^G766, those who are just^G3689 escaping^G668 from them that live^G390 in^G1722 error^G4106; 19promising^G1861 them^G846 liberty^G1657, while they themselves^G846 are^G5225 bondservants^G1401 of corruption^G5356; for^G1063 of whom^G3739 a man^G5100 is overcome^G2274, of the same^G5129 is he also brought into bondage^G1402. 20For^G1063 if^G1487, after they have escaped^G668 the defilements^G3393 of the world^G2889 through^G1722 the knowledge^G1922 of the Lord^G2962 and^G2532 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G1161, they are^G1707 again^G3825 entangled^G1707 therein^G5125 and overcome^G2274, the last state^G2078 is^G1096 become worse^G5501 with them^G846 than the first^G4413. 21For^G1063 it were better^G2909 for^G1063 them^G846 not^G3361 to have known^G1921 the way^G3598 of righteousness^G1343, than^G2228, after knowing^G1921 it, to turn^G1994 back from^G1537 the^G1785 holy^G40 commandment^G1785 delivered^G3860 unto them^G846. 22It has happened^G4819 unto them^G846 according to the^G3942 true^G227 proverb^G3942, The dog^G2965 turning^G1994 to^G1909 his own^G2398 vomit^G1829 again^G1994, and^G2532 the sow^G5300 that had washed^G3068 to^G1519 wallowing^G2946 in the mire^G1004.
