对假教师的审判
2 不过，在子民当中也出现过假先知；照样，在你们当中也会有假教师。他们会偷偷引进使人灭亡[a]的异端[b]，甚至否认那救赎他们的主，给自己招来快速的灭亡[c]。 2 许多人会随从他们好色[d]的事；真理之道[e]也会因他们的缘故，受到亵渎。 3 他们因着贪心[f]，会用捏造的话利用你们[g]。对他们的惩罚，从太古的时候就没有失效，他们的灭亡[h]也不耽延[i]。
4 要知道：既然神没有顾惜那些犯罪的天使，把他们扔进地狱，囚禁在幽暗的坑里，拘留到审判的时候； 5 既然神也没有顾惜上古的世界，使洪水临到那不敬神的世界，只保守了义的传道者挪亚一家八口； 6 既然神又定了所多玛和格摩拉的罪，把这二城倾覆[j]，烧成灰烬，做为以后不敬神之人的鉴戒； 7 既然神拯救了那因恶人[k]的好色行为而哀伤的义人罗得—— 8 因为这义人住在他们中间，看见又听见他们的不法行为，他公义的心天天受到折磨—— 9 那么，主就知道怎样拯救敬神的人脱离试炼[l]，却把不义的人留在惩罚之下，直到审判的日子， 10 尤其对那些随从肉体而在污秽的欲望中生活[m]、轻视主权者的人，更是这样。
这些人胆大、任性，毫不战兢地亵渎那些有荣耀的。 11 就算是天使们，虽然有更大的力量和权能，也不在主面前用毁谤的话控告他们。 12 但这些人就像没有理性的动物，生来就是靠本能的，是为了捕捉和宰杀的；他们亵渎自己所不明白的，也将在自己的衰朽[n]中被毁灭[o]。 13 他们行不义，就得不义的酬报[p]；他们把白昼的放荡看做是享乐；他们是污渍和瑕疵；他们与你们一起吃喝的时候，以自己的诡诈为乐； 14 他们眼中充满了淫欲和无止境的罪；他们引诱不坚定的人[q]；他们心中习惯了贪婪；他们是被诅咒的儿女； 15 他们离开了正道就被迷惑，随从了比珥的儿子巴兰的路——这巴兰喜爱不义的酬报， 16 却为自己的过犯受了责备：一头不能说话的驴，竟用人的声音说出话来，拦阻了这先知的狂妄。
17 这些人是无水的泉源，是被暴风吹逐的云雾；有漆黑的幽暗[r]为他们存留。 18 他们说虚妄夸大的话，以肉体的欲望和好色的事来引诱人；这些被引诱的人好不容易才[s]逃脱那些生活在迷途中的人； 19 他们许诺给这些人自由，自己却是衰朽[t]的奴隶。要知道，一个人被什么制伏，就成为什么的奴隶。 20 原来，他们如果藉着认识我们的主、救主耶稣基督而逃脱这世界的污秽，却又被这些污秽纠缠、制伏了，那么，他们最后的情况就比先前更坏了； 21 因为认识了义的道路以后，背离那交托给他们的神圣诫命，对他们来说，倒不如不认识还好。 22 在他们身上正应验了这真实的俗语：“狗转身回到自己所吐的东西；[u]猪洗干净了又到污泥中打滚。”

假教師
2 以往曾經有假先知在百姓中出現，將來在你們中間也同樣會有假教師出現。他們暗地裡引進使人沉淪的異端邪說，甚至否認那位買贖他們的主。這些人正迅速地自招滅亡。 2 許多人會效法他們邪惡無恥的行為，致使真理之道被人毀謗。 3 他們貪婪成性，想用花言巧語在你們身上謀利。這種人的刑罰自古已經判定，他們很快就會滅亡。
4 即使天使犯了罪，上帝也沒有容忍他們，而是把他們丟在地獄裡，囚在幽暗的深坑等候審判。 5 上帝也沒有容忍遠古的世代，曾用洪水淹滅了世上不敬虔的惡人，只留下傳講上帝公義的挪亞和他的七位家人。 6 上帝也審判了所多瑪和蛾摩拉，將二城毀滅，燒為灰燼，作為以後不敬虔之人的警戒。 7 祂只拯救了因惡人的淫亂放蕩而憂傷的義人羅得， 8 因為義人羅得住在他們當中，天天耳聞目睹他們一切無法無天的醜行，他正直的心很痛苦。 9 上帝知道怎樣拯救敬虔的人脫離試煉，把不義的人拘禁在刑罰之下，等候審判的日子， 10 尤其是那些放縱污穢的情慾、輕視權柄的人。他們膽大妄為，肆無忌憚地毀謗有尊榮的。 11 即使力量和權能更大的天使都不敢在主面前用毀謗的話控告有尊榮的。 12 但他們好像沒有理性，生下來就是預備讓人捉去宰殺的牲畜，連自己不懂的事也隨口毀謗。他們在毀壞別人的時候，自己也必滅亡。 13 他們多行不義，必自食惡果。他們喜愛在大白天尋歡作樂，是你們中間的敗類和渣滓，一面和你們同席，一面以欺騙為樂。 14 他們眼中充滿淫慾，不停地犯罪，引誘那些信心不堅定的人。他們貪婪成性，實在是該受咒詛！ 15 他們離棄正道，走入歧途，重蹈比珥之子巴蘭先知的覆轍。巴蘭貪愛不義之財， 16 因自己的罪而受了責備。不能說話的驢竟然像人一樣說起話來，制止了他狂妄的行為。
17 他們如同枯乾的水井和被狂風吹散的霧氣，有幽幽黑暗留給他們。 18 他們口出狂言，空話連篇，以肉體的邪情私慾為餌，誘惑那些剛剛擺脫了荒謬生活的人。 19 他們應許那些人可以得自由，而自己卻做罪惡的奴隸，因為人被什麼制伏，就被什麼奴役。
20 如果他們藉著認識我們的主和救主耶穌基督，已經擺脫了世俗的污穢，但後來又被這些事纏住、俘虜了，他們的處境會比以前更糟糕。 21 他們明知道正路，卻背棄了傳給他們的神聖誡命，這樣倒不如不知道的好。 22 俗語說得好：「狗轉過身來，吃自己所吐的；豬洗乾淨了，又回到污泥裡去打滾。」這些話正好用在他們身上。

Warning against False Teachers[a]
Chapter 2
False Teachers Will Arise. 1 Just as there were false prophets who arose among the people, so there will be false teachers among you. They will introduce their disruptive views and even deny the very Master who redeemed them, thus bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Many will be seduced by their licentious ways, and because of these teachers the way of truth will be brought into disrepute. 3 In their greed they will exploit you with concocted stories.
The Condemnation of False Teachers. However, their condemnation has been hanging over them for a long time, and the destruction awaiting them does not slumber. 4 For God did not spare the angels who sinned, but he cast them into the dark abyss to be chained, where they are being held until the judgment.[b] 5 Nor did he spare the ancient world,[c] even though he saved Noah, a herald of righteousness, one of eight, when he brought a flood upon the world with its godless people.
6 God also reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, thereby condemning them to total ruin and making them an example of what awaited the ungodly. 7 However, he rescued Lot, an upright man who was sickened by the licentiousness of the lawless society in which he lived 8 for that man was greatly tormented in his righteous soul by the crimes that he saw and about which he was told day after day.
9 Therefore, the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials and to hold the wicked for punishment until the Day of Judgment. 10 Above all, he will punish those who succumb to the desires of their corrupt human nature and show no respect for authority.
The Ways of False Teachers. Bold and headstrong, they are not afraid to insult celestial beings, 11 whereas angels, despite their superior strength and power, do not bring slanderous accusations against such men in the Lord’s presence.[d] 12 These men are like wild beasts, mere creatures of instinct born to be caught and killed.
They pour abuse on things they do not understand, and in their corruption they also will be destroyed, 13 receiving the penalty[e] for doing wrong. They regard it as a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight. While they share your table, they are ugly blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures.
14 They have eyes that are always on the trail of adultery, insatiable in their desire for sinful pursuits. They seduce unstable people, and their hearts are fixed on greed. Truly, they are an accursed brood.[f] 15 They have abandoned the straight path and have gone astray, following in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor,[g] who loved to receive payment for wrongdoing. 16 However, he received a rebuke for his crime when a mute donkey spoke with a human voice and put a stop to the prophet’s madness.
17 Such people are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of darkness has been reserved. 18 They speak boastful words devoid of meaning, and by arousing licentious desires of the flesh they entice people who are just escaping from living in error.
19 They promise them freedom, although they themselves are slaves of depravity.[h] For people are slaves of whatever has mastered them. 20 If they have escaped the world’s defilements through coming to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then again become entangled and are overpowered, they are worse off in this latter state than they were before.
21 It would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back and abandon the holy commandment that was handed on to them. 22 What happened to them manifests the truth of the proverbs:
“The dog returns to its own vomit,”[i]
and
“The washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”
Footnotes
- 2 Peter 2:1 The portrait of the false teachers is drawn in living colors. They deny Christ and his salvation, disfigure the Gospel’s grand ideas about life, and seek their own profit and personal success. They “are not afraid to insult celestial beings” (v. 10)—either the angels or the evil powers whom they claim the right to judge although this right belongs to the Lord. The teachings of the Gnostics multiply theories about the heavenly beings. But these lofty speculations do not prevent them from being propagators of immorality; the author likens them to Balaam, who at this time had become the prototype of the false, venal, and corrupting teacher (see Num 22:2—24:25; Deut 23:5; Rev 2:14-15); all of their preaching focuses only on false freedom, enslavement, and degeneracy. Despite all this, these teachers of falsehood call themselves Christians.
The notice of their fate is severe. The author recalls the great chastisements of the past, the fall of the heavenly beings, the Flood, the unforgettable cursed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the story of Balaam. These illustrations are taken from ancient Biblical accounts (see Gen 6:1-2; 6:5—8:22; 19:1-29; Num 22:2—24:25).
Above all, the author wishes to exhort the believers to stand firm in their faith so that they will be spared on the day of judgment, as were Noah and Lot. Once in a while people have need of such efficacious admonition in order to take stock of their spiritual life. - 2 Peter 2:4 The Bible gives no details on the sin of the angels. The dark abyss or Tartus: the term used by the Greeks for the place where the most wicked spirits were imprisoned.
- 2 Peter 2:5 The ancient world: the world before the Flood.
- 2 Peter 2:11 In the Lord’s presence: some manuscripts have: “from the Lord.”
- 2 Peter 2:13 Receiving the penalty: some manuscripts have: “receiving a reward.” In their pleasures: some manuscripts have: “in their love feasts.”
- 2 Peter 2:14 Accursed brood: literally, “children of a curse.”
- 2 Peter 2:15 Balaam, the son of Beor: see Num 22–24. Even though God had forbidden Balaam to curse Israel, Balaam was intent on doing it because he wanted the money he had been promised by Balak. In the same way, the false teachers wanted to extract money from those who listened to them.
- 2 Peter 2:19 Freedom . . . depravity: the “scoffers” use “freedom” to divest themselves of the moral law. But it is faith in Christ that leads to good behavior and true freedom (see Rom 6:15; Jas 1:25; 1 Pet 2:16).
- 2 Peter 2:22 The dog . . . vomit: see Prov 26:11. The washed . . . mud: its source is unknown. The dog that returns to its own vomit and the sow that is washed portray people who have made a religious profession or outward change without an inner change that affects their nature. They soon return to their true nature.

False Teachers and Their Destruction
2 But there were also false prophets(A) among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.(B) They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord(C) who bought them(D)—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct(E) and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 3 In their greed(F) these teachers will exploit you(G) with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned,(H) but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness[b] to be held for judgment;(I) 5 if he did not spare the ancient world(J) when he brought the flood on its ungodly people,(K) but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;(L) 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes,(M) and made them an example(N) of what is going to happen to the ungodly;(O) 7 and if he rescued Lot,(P) a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless(Q) 8 (for that righteous man,(R) living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials(S) and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.(T) 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(U) of the flesh[c] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(V) 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[d] the Lord.(W) 12 But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.(X)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(Y) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[e](Z) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(AA) the unstable;(AB) they are experts in greed(AC)—an accursed brood!(AD) 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(AE) son of Bezer,[f] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(AF)
17 These people are springs without water(AG) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(AH) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(AI) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(AJ) from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”(AK) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(AL) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(AM) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(AN) 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.(AO) 22 Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,”[g](AP) and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
