[1]ButG1161 there wereG1096[G5633] false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071[G5704] false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919[G5692] damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720[G5740] the LordG1203 that boughtG59[G5660] themG846, and bringG1863[G5723] upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
[2]AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811[G5692] theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987.[G5701]
[3]AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710[G5695] of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691[G5719] notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573[G5719] notG3756.
[4]ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339[G5662] notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264[G5660], butG235 cast them down to hellG5020[G5660], and deliveredG3860[G5656] them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083[G5772] untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
[5]AndG2532 sparedG5339[G5662] notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442[G5656] NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863[G5660] the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;
[6]AndG2532 turningG5077 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116 into ashesG5077[G5660] condemnedG2632[G5656] them with an overthrowG2692, makingG5087[G5761] them an ensampleG5262 unto those that after shouldG3195[G5723] G764live ungodlyG5721
[7]AndG2532 deliveredG4506[G5673] justG1342 LotG3091, vexedG2669[G5746] withG5259 the filthyG766 conversationG391 ofG1722 the wickedG113:
[8](ForG1063 that righteous manG1342 dwellingG1460[G5723] amongG1722 themG846, in seeingG990 andG2532 hearingG189, vexedG928[G5707] his righteousG1342 soulG5590 from dayG2250 toG1537 dayG2250 with their unlawfulG459 deedsG2041;)
[9]The LordG2962 knowethG1492[G5758] how to deliverG4506[G5738] the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083[G5721] the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849:[G5746]
[10]ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198[G5740] afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706[G5723] governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141[G5719] to speak evilG987[G5723] of dignitiesG1391.
[11]WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG5607[G5752] greater inG3187 powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342[G5719] notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962.
[12]ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080[G5772] toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987[G5723] ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50[G5719]; and shall utterly perishG2704[G5691] inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
[13]And shall receiveG2865[G5697] the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that countG2233[G5740] it pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792[G5723] withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG539 while they feastG4910[G5740] with youG5213;
[14]HavingG2192[G5723] eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185[G5723] unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192[G5723] exercisedG1128[G5772] with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043:
[15]Which have forsakenG2641[G5631] the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105[G5681], followingG1811[G5660] the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25[G5656] the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
[16]ButG1161 wasG2192[G5627] rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350[G5674] withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967[G5656] the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
[17]TheseG3778 areG1526[G5748] wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643[G5746] withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG2217 of darknessG4655 is reservedG5083[G5769] forG1519 everG165.
[18]ForG1063 when they speakG5350[G5726] great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185[G5719] throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668[G5631] from them who liveG390[G5746] inG1722 errorG4106.
[19]While they promiseG1861[G5740] themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225[G5723] the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274[G5766],[G2532] of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.[G5769]
[20]ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668[G5631] the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707[G5651] thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096[G5754][G2274][G5736], the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
[21]ForG1063 it had beenG2258[G5713] betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921[G5760] the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921[G5631] it, to turnG1994[G5658] fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860[G5685] unto themG846.
[22]ButG1161 it is happenedG4819[G5758] unto themG846 according toG3588 the trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994[G5660]; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068[G5671] toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.
