New King James Version
9 then (A)the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially (B)those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. (C)They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of [a]dignitaries, 11 whereas (D)angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

2 Peter 2:9-11
New International Version
9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials(A) and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.(B) 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(C) of the flesh[a] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(D) 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from[b] the Lord.(E)
