10 and especially (A)those who indulge[a] in the lust of defiling passion and (B)despise authority.

Bold and willful, they do not tremble (C)as they blaspheme the glorious ones, 11 (D)whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. 12 (E)But these, like irrational animals, (F)creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, 13 suffering wrong as (G)the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure (H)to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions,[b] while (I)they feast with you. 14 They have eyes full of adultery,[c] (J)insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts (K)trained in greed. (L)Accursed children!
