1 There were false prophetes also among the people, eue as there shalbe false teachers among you, whiche pryuyly shal bryng in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lorde that hath bought them, and bryng vpo them selues swyft damnation. 2 And many shall folowe their damnable wayes, by whom the way of trueth shalbe euyll spoken of: 3 And through couetousnesse, shall they with fayned wordes make marchaudize of you, whose iudgement is nowe not farre of, and their damnation sleepeth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and delyuered them into chaynes of darknesse, to be kept vnto iudgement: 5 Neither spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eyght person a preacher of ryghteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the worlde of the vngodly, 6 And turned their cities of Sodome & Gomorrhe into asshes, ouerthrewe the, dampned them, and made of them an ensample vnto those that after shoulde lyue vngodly: 7 And iust Lot, vexed with ye vncleane conuersatio of the wicked, deliuered he. 8 For he beyng ryghteous, & dwellyng among them, in seyng and hearyng, vexed his ryghteous soule from daye to daye with their vnlawfull deedes. 9 The Lorde knoweth howe to delyuer the godly out of temptation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement for to be punished: 2 Peter 2:1-9, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
