Chapter 2

1 But1161 there were1096 false prophets5578 also2532 among1722 the3588 people,2992 even2532 as5613 there shall be2071 false teachers5572 among1722 you,5213 who3748 privily shall bring in3919 damnable684 heresies,139 even2532 denying720 the3588 Lord1203 that bought59 them,846 and bring upon1863 themselves1438 swift5031 destruction.684

2 And2532 many4183 shall follow1811 their846 pernicious ways;684 by reason of1223 whom3739 the3588 way3598 of truth225 shall be evil spoken of.987

3 And2532 through1722 covetousness4124 shall they with feigned4112 words3056 make merchandise1710 of you:5209 whose3739 judgment2917 now of a long time1597 lingereth691 not,3756 and2532 their846 damnation684 slumbereth3573 not.3756

4 For1063 if1487 God2316 spared5339 not3756 the angels32 that sinned,264 but235 cast them down to hell,5020 and delivered3860 them into chains4577 of darkness,2217 to be reserved5083 unto1519 judgment;2920

5 And2532 spared5339 not3756 the old744 world,2889 but235 saved5442 Noah3575 the eighth3590 person, a preacher2783 of righteousness,1343 bringing in1863 the flood2627 upon the world2889 of the ungodly;765

6 And2532 turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes5077 4172 4670 2532 1116 condemned2632 them with an overthrow,2692 making5087 them an example5262 unto those that after should3195 live ungodly;764

7 And2532 delivered4506 just1342 Lot,3091 vexed2669 with5259 the3588 filthy conversation1722 766 391 of the3588 wicked: 113

8 (For1063 that righteous man1342 dwelling1460 among1722 them,846 in seeing990 and2532 hearing,189 vexed928 his righteous1342 soul5590 from day2250 to1537 day2250 with their unlawful459 deeds);2041

9 The Lord2962 knoweth1492 how to deliver4506 the godly2152 out of1537 temptations,3986 and1161 to reserve5083 the unjust94 unto1519 the day2250 of judgment2920 to be punished: 2849

10 But1161 chiefly3122 them that walk4198 after3694 the flesh4561 in1722 the lust1939 of uncleanness,3394 and2532 despise2706 government.2963 Presumptuous5113 are they, self-willed,829 they are not3756 afraid5141 to speak evil987 of dignities.1391

11 Whereas3699 angels,32 which are5607 greater3187 in power2479 and2532 might,1411 bring5342 not3756 railing989 accusation2920 against2596 them846 before3844 the Lord.2962

12 But1161 these,3778 as5613 natural5446 brute249 beasts,2226 made1080 to be taken1519 259 and2532 destroyed,5356 speak evil987 of1722 the things that3739 they understand not;50 and shall utterly perish2704 in1722 their own848 corruption;5356

13 And shall receive2865 the reward3408 of unrighteousness,93 as they that count2233 it pleasure2237 to riot5172 in1722 the day time.2250 Spots4695 they are and2532 blemishes,3470 sporting themselves1792 with1722 their own848 deceivings539 while they feast4910 with you;5213

14 Having2192 eyes3788 full3324 of adultery,3428 and2532 that cannot cease180 from sin;266 beguiling1185 unstable793 souls:5590 a heart2588 they have2192 exercised1128 with covetous practices;4124 cursed2671 children: 5043

15 Which have forsaken2641 the3588 right2117 way,3598 and are gone astray,4105 following1811 the3588 way3598 of Balaam903 the son of Bosor,1007 who3739 loved25 the wages3408 of unrighteousness;93

16 But1161 was rebuked2192 1649 for his2398 iniquity:3892 the dumb880 ass5268 speaking5350 with1722 man's444 voice5456 forbade2967 the3588 madness3913 of the3588 prophet.4396

17 These3778 are1526 wells4077 without water,504 clouds3507 that are carried1643 with5259 a tempest:2978 to whom3739 the3588 mist2217 of darkness4655 is reserved5083 forever.1519 165

18 For1063 when they speak5350 great swelling5246 words of vanity,3153 they allure1185 through1722 the lusts1939 of the flesh,4561 through much wantonness,766 those that were clean escaped668 3689 from them who live390 in1722 error.4106

19 While they promise1861 them846 liberty,1657 they846 themselves are5225 the servants1401 of corruption:5356 for1063 of whom3739 a man5100 is overcome,2274 of the same5129 is he2532 brought in bondage.1402

20 For1063 if1487 after they have escaped668 the3588 pollutions3393 of the3588 world2889 through1722 the knowledge1922 of the3588 Lord2962 and2532 Savior4990 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 they are1161 again3825 entangled1707 therein,5125 and2532 overcome,2274 the3588 latter end2078 is1096 worse5501 with them846 than the3588 beginning.4413

21 For1063 it had been2258 better2909 for them846 not3361 to have known1921 the3588 way3598 of righteousness,1343 than,2228 after they have known1921 it, to turn1994 from1537 the3588 holy40 commandment1785 delivered3860 unto them.846

22 But1161 it is happened4819 unto them846 according3588 to the3588 true227 proverb,3942 The dog2965 is turned to his own vomit again;1994 1909 2398 1829 and2532 the sow5300 that was washed3068 to1519 her wallowing2946 in the mire.1004

Chapter 2

1 BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the LORD who has redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

2 Many will follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness, they will exploit you with feigned words: whose judgment from the very beginning has not ceased and their damnation is always active.

4 God did not spare the angels, who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for tormenting judgment;

5 And did not spare the old world, but saved Noah the preacher of righteousness, with his family, eight in all, when he brought the flood upon the wicked people;

6 And set afire the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them with an upheaval, making them an example to those who hereafter should live ungodly;

7 And delivered righteous Lot, mortified by the filthy conduct of the lawless:

8 For while that pious man dwelt among them, in seeing and hearing their unlawful deeds, his righteous soul was vexed from day to day.

9 The LORD knows how to deliver from distress those who revere him, and he will reserve the wicked to be punished at the judgment day.

10 And especially will he punish those who follow after filthy lusts of the flesh, and have no respect for authority. Arrogant and selfwilled are they who do not tremble when they blaspheme against the glory;

11 Whereas angels who are greater in power and might do not bring upon themselves the condemnation of blasphemy.

12 But these men, as natural brute beasts, made for slaughter and destruction, speak evil of the things which they do not understand; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

13 And shall receive the reward of iniquity as they consider it a delightful thing to revel in the daytime. Spots and blemishes have they who sport themselves with their own deceivings as they feast in idleness;

14 And have eyes full of adultery, and of sin that does not cease: beguiling, unstable souls are they whose hearts are well versed in covetousness: accursed sons are they.

15 Who have forsaken the right way and are gone astray, following the way of Ba'laam, the son of Be-or, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 But who was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, halted the folly of the prophet.

17 These men are springs without water, as clouds that are carried with a tempest; the mist of darkness is reserved to them forever.

18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the sensual lusts of the flesh; but there are those who flee at a word of warning from those who live in error.

19 They, while they promise liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption: for a man is overcome by whatever it is that enslaves him.

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through knowledge of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled by these very things, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 Verily it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment that was delivered to them.

22 It will come to pass with them according to the true proverb, The dog returns to his own vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

1 BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the LORD who has redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And2532 many4183 shall follow1811 their846 pernicious ways;684 by reason of1223 whom3739 the3588 way3598 of truth225 shall be evil spoken of.987

2 Many will follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And2532 through1722 covetousness4124 shall they with feigned4112 words3056 make merchandise1710 of you:5209 whose3739 judgment2917 now of a long time1597 lingereth691 not,3756 and2532 their846 damnation684 slumbereth3573 not.3756

3 And through covetousness, they will exploit you with feigned words: whose judgment from the very beginning has not ceased and their damnation is always active.

4 For1063 if1487 God2316 spared5339 not3756 the angels32 that sinned,264 but235 cast them down to hell,5020 and delivered3860 them into chains4577 of darkness,2217 to be reserved5083 unto1519 judgment;2920

4 God did not spare the angels, who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for tormenting judgment;

5 And2532 spared5339 not3756 the old744 world,2889 but235 saved5442 Noah3575 the eighth3590 person, a preacher2783 of righteousness,1343 bringing in1863 the flood2627 upon the world2889 of the ungodly;765

5 And did not spare the old world, but saved Noah the preacher of righteousness, with his family, eight in all, when he brought the flood upon the wicked people;

6 And2532 turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes5077 4172 4670 2532 1116 condemned2632 them with an overthrow,2692 making5087 them an example5262 unto those that after should3195 live ungodly;764

6 And set afire the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them with an upheaval, making them an example to those who hereafter should live ungodly;

7 And2532 delivered4506 just1342 Lot,3091 vexed2669 with5259 the3588 filthy conversation1722 766 391 of the3588 wicked: 113

7 And delivered righteous Lot, mortified by the filthy conduct of the lawless:

8 (For1063 that righteous man1342 dwelling1460 among1722 them,846 in seeing990 and2532 hearing,189 vexed928 his righteous1342 soul5590 from day2250 to1537 day2250 with their unlawful459 deeds);2041

8 For while that pious man dwelt among them, in seeing and hearing their unlawful deeds, his righteous soul was vexed from day to day.

9 The Lord2962 knoweth1492 how to deliver4506 the godly2152 out of1537 temptations,3986 and1161 to reserve5083 the unjust94 unto1519 the day2250 of judgment2920 to be punished: 2849

9 The LORD knows how to deliver from distress those who revere him, and he will reserve the wicked to be punished at the judgment day.

10 But1161 chiefly3122 them that walk4198 after3694 the flesh4561 in1722 the lust1939 of uncleanness,3394 and2532 despise2706 government.2963 Presumptuous5113 are they, self-willed,829 they are not3756 afraid5141 to speak evil987 of dignities.1391

10 And especially will he punish those who follow after filthy lusts of the flesh, and have no respect for authority. Arrogant and selfwilled are they who do not tremble when they blaspheme against the glory;

11 Whereas3699 angels,32 which are5607 greater3187 in power2479 and2532 might,1411 bring5342 not3756 railing989 accusation2920 against2596 them846 before3844 the Lord.2962

11 Whereas angels who are greater in power and might do not bring upon themselves the condemnation of blasphemy.

12 But1161 these,3778 as5613 natural5446 brute249 beasts,2226 made1080 to be taken1519 259 and2532 destroyed,5356 speak evil987 of1722 the things that3739 they understand not;50 and shall utterly perish2704 in1722 their own848 corruption;5356

12 But these men, as natural brute beasts, made for slaughter and destruction, speak evil of the things which they do not understand; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

13 And shall receive2865 the reward3408 of unrighteousness,93 as they that count2233 it pleasure2237 to riot5172 in1722 the day time.2250 Spots4695 they are and2532 blemishes,3470 sporting themselves1792 with1722 their own848 deceivings539 while they feast4910 with you;5213

13 And shall receive the reward of iniquity as they consider it a delightful thing to revel in the daytime. Spots and blemishes have they who sport themselves with their own deceivings as they feast in idleness;

14 Having2192 eyes3788 full3324 of adultery,3428 and2532 that cannot cease180 from sin;266 beguiling1185 unstable793 souls:5590 a heart2588 they have2192 exercised1128 with covetous practices;4124 cursed2671 children: 5043

14 And have eyes full of adultery, and of sin that does not cease: beguiling, unstable souls are they whose hearts are well versed in covetousness: accursed sons are they.

15 Which have forsaken2641 the3588 right2117 way,3598 and are gone astray,4105 following1811 the3588 way3598 of Balaam903 the son of Bosor,1007 who3739 loved25 the wages3408 of unrighteousness;93

15 Who have forsaken the right way and are gone astray, following the way of Ba'laam, the son of Be-or, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 But1161 was rebuked2192 1649 for his2398 iniquity:3892 the dumb880 ass5268 speaking5350 with1722 man's444 voice5456 forbade2967 the3588 madness3913 of the3588 prophet.4396

16 But who was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, halted the folly of the prophet.

17 These3778 are1526 wells4077 without water,504 clouds3507 that are carried1643 with5259 a tempest:2978 to whom3739 the3588 mist2217 of darkness4655 is reserved5083 forever.1519 165

17 These men are springs without water, as clouds that are carried with a tempest; the mist of darkness is reserved to them forever.

18 For1063 when they speak5350 great swelling5246 words of vanity,3153 they allure1185 through1722 the lusts1939 of the flesh,4561 through much wantonness,766 those that were clean escaped668 3689 from them who live390 in1722 error.4106

18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the sensual lusts of the flesh; but there are those who flee at a word of warning from those who live in error.

19 While they promise1861 them846 liberty,1657 they846 themselves are5225 the servants1401 of corruption:5356 for1063 of whom3739 a man5100 is overcome,2274 of the same5129 is he2532 brought in bondage.1402

19 They, while they promise liberty, themselves are the slaves of corruption: for a man is overcome by whatever it is that enslaves him.

20 For1063 if1487 after they have escaped668 the3588 pollutions3393 of the3588 world2889 through1722 the knowledge1922 of the3588 Lord2962 and2532 Savior4990 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 they are1161 again3825 entangled1707 therein,5125 and2532 overcome,2274 the3588 latter end2078 is1096 worse5501 with them846 than the3588 beginning.4413

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through knowledge of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled by these very things, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For1063 it had been2258 better2909 for them846 not3361 to have known1921 the3588 way3598 of righteousness,1343 than,2228 after they have known1921 it, to turn1994 from1537 the3588 holy40 commandment1785 delivered3860 unto them.846

21 Verily it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment that was delivered to them.

22 But1161 it is happened4819 unto them846 according3588 to the3588 true227 proverb,3942 The dog2965 is turned to his own vomit again;1994 1909 2398 1829 and2532 the sow5300 that was washed3068 to1519 her wallowing2946 in the mire.1004

22 It will come to pass with them according to the true proverb, The dog returns to his own vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
