2 Peter 2:10-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 —especially those who indulge their flesh in depraved lust and who despise authority.
Bold and willful, they are not afraid to slander the glorious ones,[a](A) 11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring against them a slanderous judgment.[b] 12 These people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and as those creatures are destroyed,[c] they also will be destroyed, 13 suffering[d] the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures[e] while they feast with you.(B) 14 They have eyes full of adultery,[f] insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! 15 They have left the straight road and have gone astray, following the road of Balaam son of Bosor,[g] who loved the wages of doing wrong(C) 16 but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm; for them the deepest darkness has been reserved.(D) 18 For they speak bombastic nonsense, and with debased[h] desires of the flesh they entice people who have just[i] escaped from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for people are slaves to whatever masters them.(E) 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the[j] Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overpowered, the last state has become worse for them than the first.(F)

2 Peter 2:10-20
New International Version
10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire(A) of the flesh[a] and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;(B) 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.(C) 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.(D)
13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.(E) They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.[c](F) 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce(G) the unstable;(H) they are experts in greed(I)—an accursed brood!(J) 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(K) son of Bezer,[d] 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.(L)
17 These people are springs without water(M) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(N) 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words(O) and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping(P) 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.”(Q) 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing(R) our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ(S) and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.(T)

Renounce Pagan Ways
3 But sexual immorality and impurity of any kind or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints.(B) 4 Entirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving. 5 Be sure of this, that no sexually immoral or impure person or one who is greedy (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.(C)
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient.[b](D) 7 Therefore do not be associated with them, 8 for once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Walk as children of light,(E)

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(D) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(E) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(F) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(G) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(H)—has any inheritance(I) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](J) 6 Let no one deceive you(K) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(L) comes on those who are disobedient.(M) 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
