2 Peter 2:11

2 Peter 2:11

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,

14 having eyes full of¹ adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. ^aThey have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.

II Peter 2:11 Whereas angels . . . bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. The angels, superior in might and power, do not show such presumption, or disrespect to any lofty power. Compare Jude 1:9. There is so striking a parallel between a part of this chapter and a part of Jude that it is thought that either Peter or Jude had the epistle of the other before him. Jude shows us that even Michael did not rail against Satan.
