2 Peter 2:10-16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰ and especially those who ^(A)go after the flesh in its corrupt lust and ^(B)despise authority.

Daring, ^(C)self-willed, they do not tremble when they ^(D)blaspheme ^[a]glorious ones, ^11 (E)whereas angels who are greater in strength and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord. ¹² But ^(F)these, like unreasoning animals, ^(G)born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, blaspheming where they have no knowledge, will in ^[b]the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed, ¹³ suffering unrighteousness as ^(H)the wages of their unrighteousness, considering it a pleasure to ^(I)revel in the ^(J)daytime—they are stains and blemishes, ^(K)reveling in their ^[c]deceptions, as they ^(L)feast with you, ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery and unceasing sin, ^(M)enticing ^(N)unstable souls, having a heart trained in ^(O)greed—they are ^(P)accursed children. ¹⁵ Forsaking ^(Q)the right way, they have gone astray, having followed ^(R)the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved ^(S)the wages of unrighteousness, ¹⁶ but he received a rebuke for his own lawlessness, ^(T)for a mute donkey, speaking out with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.
