2 Peter 2:11
Compare all
9 then athe Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,  
10 and especially athose who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. bThey are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of1 dignitaries,  
11 whereas aangels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.  

Depravity of False Teachers

12 But these, alike natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,  
13 aand will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure bto carouse in the daytime. cThey are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while dthey feast with you,

What Does 2 Peter 2:11 Mean?



2 Peter 2:10-11

False prophets "walk according to the flesh"; their minds are primarily on physical things rather than the true things of God. God is not in all their thoughts (Psalm 10:4). They also despise authority—other than their own—and apparently think themselves superior even to God's angels. They are presumptuous and self-willed, acting out of the dictates of their own hearts (or the influence of a demon) rather than following God with humility and trusting Him to bring His will to pass.
