2 Peter 第2章
False Prophets and Teachers
1But 2:1 Deut. 13:1; See Matt. 7:15false prophets also arose among the people, 2:1 Acts 20:30; 2 Cor. 11:13; 1 Tim. 4:1; [Matt. 24:11] just as there will be false teachers among you, who will 2:1 Jude 4; [Matt. 10:33; Gal. 2:4] secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master 2:1 1 Cor. 6:20; 7:23; Gal. 3:13; 4:5; Rev. 5:9; [Ex. 15:16; 1 Pet. 1:18; Rev. 14:3, 4]who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth 2:2 Rom. 2:24will be blasphemed.
3And 2:3 [2 Cor. 12:17, 18; 1 Tim. 6:5; Titus 1:11] in their greed they will exploit you 2:3 Rom. 16:18; Col. 2:4with false words. 2:3 [Deut. 32:35; Phil. 3:19]Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
4For if God did not spare 2:4 Jude 6angels when they sinned, but 2:4 [Rev. 20:2, 3, 10] cast them into hell2:4 Greek Tartarus and committed them to chains2:4 Some manuscripts pits of gloomy darkness 2:4 Matt. 25:41to be kept until the judgment;
5if he did not spare the ancient world, but 2:5 See 1 Pet. 3:20preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought 2:5 ch. 3:6; Job 22:16a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6if by 2:6 See Gen. 19:24turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, 2:6 [Num. 26:10] making them an example of 2:6 Jude 15what is going to happen to the ungodly;2:6 Some manuscripts an example to those who were to be ungodly
7and 2:7 Gen. 19:16if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked
8(for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, 2:8 Ps. 119:136, 158; [Ezek. 9:4]he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);
9then 2:9 1 Cor. 10:13; Rev. 3:10the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,2:9 Or temptations and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
Bold and willful, they do not tremble 2:10 Jude 8; [Ex. 22:28]as they blaspheme the glorious ones,
112:11 Jude 9whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
122:12 Jude 10But these, like irrational animals, 2:12 [Jer. 12:3; Phil. 3:19]creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction,
13suffering wrong as 2:13 ver. 15the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure 2:13 [Rom. 13:13; 1 Thess. 5:7]; See James 5:5to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,2:13 Some manuscripts love feasts while 2:13 [1 Cor. 11:21]they feast with you.
14They have eyes full of adultery,2:14 Or eyes full of an adulteress2:14 [1 Pet. 4:1] insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts 2:14 ver. 3; [1 Tim. 4:7] trained in greed. 2:14 [Eph. 2:3]Accursed children!
15Forsaking the right way, 2:15 Ezek. 14:11they have gone astray. They have followed 2:15 Num. 22:5, 7; Deut. 23:4; Neh. 13:2; Jude 11; Rev. 2:14the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved 2:15 ver. 13gain from wrongdoing,
16but was rebuked for his own transgression; 2:16 Num. 22:21, 23, 28a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
172:17 Jude 12These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. 2:17 Jude 13For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.
18For, 2:18 Jude 16speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely 2:18 ver. 20; ch. 1:4escaping from those who live in error.
19They promise them 2:19 Gal. 5:13; See James 1:25freedom, 2:19 John 8:34; Rom. 6:16but they themselves are slaves2:19 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.
20For if, 2:20 ver. 18after they have escaped the defilements of the world 2:20 See ch. 1:2through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, 2:20 Matt. 12:45the last state has become worse for them than the first.
21For 2:21 [Ezek. 18:24; Luke 12:47; Heb. 6:4-6; 10:26, 27; James 4:17] it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from 2:21 Rom. 7:12the holy commandment delivered to them.
22What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The 2:22 Prov. 26:11dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
