2 Peter 2:5 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Peter 2:5

3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction¹ does not slumber.

Doom of False Teachers

4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to¹ 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 on the world of the ungodly;

6 and turning the cities of ^aSodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

7 and ^adelivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked

8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, ^atormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—

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,
