For by uttering boastful, empty words, they seduce, with fleshly desires and debauchery, people who have barely escaped from those who live in error.

These people are discontented grumblers, living according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.

But these people blaspheme anything they do not understand. And what they do understand by instinct— like irrational animals— by these things they are destroyed.
