2 Peter 2:1-9 ▼

1 However there were indeed false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you, whosoever shall bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

2 And many will follow their impurities; through whom the way of truth will be slandered:

3 and in their covetousness they will sell you with their soft speeches: unto whom judgment from olden time tarries not, and their destruction does not slumber.

4 For if God spared not the angels who sinned, but having sent them down to hell, committed them to chains of darkness to be kept unto judgment;

5 and spared not the old world, but delivered Noah the eighth person, the preacher of righteousness, brings the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 and having destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, with a catastrophe he condemned them, having put them forth as an example to those about to be ungodly:

7 and he delivered righteous Lot, being grieved by the deportment of the ungodly in their debauchery:

8 (for the righteous man dwelling among them, by seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds:)

9 for the Lord knows how to rescue the godly out of temptations, and to keep the unrighteous unto the day of judgment enduring punishment:
