Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

2 Peter 2

1 He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing the impiety and punishment both of them and their followers: 7 from which the godly shall be delivered, as Lot was out of Sodom: 10 and more fully describeth the manners of those profane and blasphemous seducers, whereby they may be the better known, and avoided.

 2:1 ¶ But 1161 there were 1096 z5633 false prophets 5578 also 2532 among 1722 the x3588 people, 2992 even 2532 as 5613 there shall be 2071 z5704 false teachers 5572 among 1722 you, 5213 who 3748 privily shall bring in 3919 z5692 damnable 684 heresies, 139 even 2532 denying 720 z5740 the x3588 Lord 1203 that bought 59 z5660 them, 846 and bring y1863 z5723 upon x1863 themselves 1438 swift 5031 destruction. 684

 2:2 And 2532 many 4183 shall follow 1811 z5692 their 846 pernicious ways; 684 by reason of 1223 whom 3739 the x3588 way 3598 of truth 225 shall be evil spoken of. 987 z5701

 2:3 And 2532 through 1722 covetousness 4124 shall they with feigned 4112 words 3056 make merchandise 1710 z5695 of you: 5209 whose 3739 judgment 2917 now of a long time 1597 lingereth 691 z5719 not, 3756 and 2532 their 846 damnation 684 slumbereth 3573 z5719 not. 3756

 2:4 For 1063 if 1487 God 2316 spared 5339 z5662 not 3756 the angels 32 that sinned, 264 z5660 but 235 cast [them] down to hell, 5020 z5660 and delivered 3860 z5656 [them] into chains 4577 of darkness, 2217 to be reserved 5083 z5772 unto 1519 judgment; 2920

 2:5 And 2532 spared 5339 z5662 not 3756 the old 744 world, 2889 but 235 saved 5442 z5656 Noah 3575 the eighth 3590 [person], a preacher 2783 of righteousness, 1343 bringing in 1863 z5660 the flood 2627 upon the world 2889 of the ungodly; 765

 2:6 And 2532 turning y5077 z0 the cities y4172 of Sodom y4670 and y2532 Gomorrha y1116 into ashes 5077 z5660 x4172 x4670 x2532 x1116 condemned 2632 z5656 [them] with an overthrow, 2692 making 5087 z5761 [them] an ensample 5262 unto those that after should 3195 z5723 live ungodly; 764 z5721

 2:7 And 2532 delivered 4506 z5673 just 1342 Lot, 3091 vexed 2669 z5746 with 5259 the x3588 filthy y766 conversation 391 x1722 x766 of the x3588 wicked: 113

 2:8 (For 1063 that righteous man 1342 dwelling 1460 z5723 among 1722 them, 846 in seeing 990 and 2532 hearing, 189 vexed 928 z5707 [his] righteous 1342 soul 5590 from day 2250 to 1537 day 2250 with [their] unlawful 459 deeds;) 2041

 2:9 The Lord 2962 knoweth 1492 z5758 how to deliver 4506 z5738 the godly 2152 out of 1537 temptations, 3986 and 1161 to reserve 5083 z5721 the unjust 94 unto 1519 the day 2250 of judgment 2920 to be punished: 2849 z5746

 2:10 But 1161 chiefly 3122 them that walk 4198 z5740 after 3694 the flesh 4561 in 1722 the lust 1939 of uncleanness, 3394 and 2532 despise 2706 z5723 government. 2963 Presumptuous 5113 [are they], selfwilled, 829 they are not 3756 afraid 5141 z5719 to speak evil 987 z5723 of dignities. 1391

 2:11 Whereas 3699 angels, 32 which are 5607 z5752 greater x3187 in y3187 power 2479 and 2532 might, 1411 bring 5342 z5719 not 3756 railing 989 accusation 2920 against 2596 them 846 before 3844 the Lord. 2962

 2:12 But 1161 these, 3778 as 5613 natural 5446 brute 249 beasts, 2226 made 1080 z5772 to y1519 be taken 259 x1519 and 2532 destroyed, y5356 x5336 speak evil 987 z5723 of 1722 the things that 3739 they understand not; 50 z5719 and shall utterly perish 2704 z5691 in 1722 their own y846 x848 corruption; 5356

 2:13 And shall receive 2865 z5697 the reward 3408 of unrighteousness, 93 [as] they that count 2233 z5740 it pleasure 2237 to riot 5172 in 1722 the day time. 2250 Spots y4696 x4695 [they are] and 2532 blemishes, 3470 sporting themselves 1792 z5723 with 1722 their own y846 x848 deceivings 539 while they feast 4910 z5740 with you; 5213

 2:14 Having 2192 z5723 eyes 3788 full 3324 of adultery, 3428 and 2532 that cannot cease x180 from y180 sin; 266 beguiling 1185 z5723 unstable 793 souls: 5590 an heart 2588 they have 2192 z5723 exercised 1128 z5772 with covetous practices; 4124 cursed 2671 children: 5043

 2:15 Which have forsaken 2641 z5631 the x3588 right 2117 way, 3598 and are gone astray, 4105 z5681 following 1811 z5660 the x3588 way 3598 of Balaam 903 [the son] of Bosor, 1007 who 3739 loved 25 z5656 the wages 3408 of unrighteousness; 93

 2:16 But 1161 was y2192 z5627 rebuked 1649 x2192 for his 2398 iniquity: 3892 the dumb 880 ass 5268 speaking 5350 z5674 with 1722 man's 444 voice 5456 forbad 2967 z5656 the x3588 madness 3913 of the x3588 prophet. 4396

 2:17 These 3778 are 1526 z5748 wells 4077 without water, 504 clouds 3507 that are carried 1643 z5746 with 5259 a tempest; 2978 to whom 3739 the x3588 mist 2217 of darkness 4655 is reserved 5083 z5769 for 1519 x165 ever. y165

 2:18 For 1063 when they speak 5350 z5726 great swelling 5246 [words] of vanity, 3153 they allure 1185 z5719 through 1722 the lusts 1939 of the flesh, 4561 [through much] wantonness, 766 those that were clean y3689 escaped 668 z5631 x3689 from them who live 390 z5746 in 1722 error. 4106

 2:19 While they promise 1861 z5740 them 846 liberty, 1657 they x846 themselves y846 are 5225 z5723 the servants 1401 of corruption: 5356 for 1063 of whom 3739 a man 5100 is overcome, 2274 z5766 y2532 of the same 5129 is he x2532 brought in bondage. 1402 z5769

 2:20 For 1063 if 1487 after they have escaped 668 z5631 the x3588 pollutions 3393 of the x3588 world 2889 through 1722 the knowledge 1922 of the x3588 Lord 2962 and 2532 Saviour 4990 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 they are y1707 z0 x1161 again 3825 entangled 1707 z5651 therein, 5125 and y1161 x2532 overcome, 2274 y1096 z5754 z5736 the x3588 latter end 2078 is x1096 worse 5501 with them 846 than the x3588 beginning. 4413

 2:21 For 1063 it had been 2258 z5713 better 2909 for them 846 not 3361 to have known 1921 z5760 the x3588 way 3598 of righteousness, 1343 than, 2228 after they have known 1921 z5631 [it], to turn 1994 z5658 from 1537 the x3588 holy 40 commandment 1785 delivered 3860 z5685 unto them. 846

 2:22 But 1161 it is happened 4819 z5758 unto them 846 according x3588 to y3588 the x3588 true 227 proverb, 3942 The dog 2965 [is] turned y1994 z0 to y1909 his own y2398 vomit y1829 again; 1994 z5660 x1909 x2398 x1829 and 2532 the sow 5300 that was washed 3068 z5671 to 1519 her wallowing 2946 in the mire. 1004
