2 Petrus 2:2-3

2:2 And many will follow their debauched lifestyles. ¹  Because of these false teachers, ²  the way of truth will be slandered. ³  2:3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their ⁴  condemnation pronounced long ago ⁵  is not sitting idly by; ⁶  their ⁷  destruction is not asleep.

[2:2]  ¹ tn “Debauched lifestyles” is literally “licentiousnesses,” “sensualities,” “debaucheries.”

[2:2]  ² tn Grk “because of whom,” introducing a subordinate clause to the first part of the verse.

[2:2]  ³ tn Or “blasphemed,” “reviled,” “treated with contempt.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “to whom,” introducing a subordinate relative clause.

[2:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “the ancient judgment.”

[2:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “is not idle.”

[2:3]  ⁷ tn Greek has “and their.” As introducing a synonymous parallel, it is superfluous in English.
