2 Peter 2:1–10

But ^athere were false prophets also among ^bthe people, even as ^cthere shall be false teachers among you, who ^dprivily shall bring in damnable ^eheresies, even ^fdenying ^gthe Lord ^hthat bought them, and ⁱbring upon themselves swift destruction. ²And many shall follow their ^||pernicious ways; by reason of whom ^jthe way of truth ^kshall be evil spoken of. ³And ^lthrough covetousness shall they ^mwith feigned words ⁿmake merchandise of you: ^owhose judgment now ^pof a long time lingereth not, and ⁱtheir damnation ^qslumbereth not. ⁴For if God spared not ^rthe angels ^sthat sinned, but ^tcast them down to hell, and delivered them into ^uchains of darkness, to be ^rvreserved unto judgment; ⁵And ^wspared not the old world, but ^xsaved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, ^ybringing in ^zthe flood upon ^athe world of the ungodly; ⁶And ^bturning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with ^can overthrow, ^dmaking them an ^eensample unto those that after should ^flive ungodly; ⁷And ^gdelivered ^hjust Lot, vexed with the ⁱfilthy ^kconversation of ^lthe wicked: ⁸(For that ^hrighteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, ^mvexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) ⁹ⁿThe Lord knoweth how to deliver ^othe godly out of temptations, and ^pto reserve the unjust unto ^qthe day of judgment to be punished: ¹⁰But chiefly them ^rthat walk ^safter the flesh in the lust of ^tuncleanness, and despise ^||government. Presumptuous are they, ^uselfwilled, they are not afraid to ^wspeak evil of dignities.
