2Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable.heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them.(1, 2, 3).and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

"swift destruction", destruction that is swift once it starts:.Joshua 24:20. Who were these and how does this happen in our age today?.1Timothy 6:5.

2Peter 2:2 And many follow their pernicious.(means 'destructive').ways, by reason of whom the way of truth is evil spoken of.

They think the true God's free ways don't work. They don't believe God. And so they try alignments with other philosophies and even lock themselves into paying money for them:.1Timothy 6:5.

Acts 16:19-24; 24:5.

2Peter 2:3 And through covetousness they with feigned words make merchandise of you.(how do they do this?.1Timothy 6:5); whose judgment now of a long time lingers not and their damnation.lingers not.

Over much time, satanists spout much the same lies:.John 8:44. Subtle deceivers are they. See through the lies to their motives, which usually are covetousness and/or licentiousness and control to your detriment.

2Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness.(able only to hurt to the length of their chain, which distance you keep out of by staying within the light), to be reserved unto judgment;

No evilness escapes. Be sure you get rid of yours, how?.Luke 1:16.

2Peter 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the unGodly;

Means here that Noah was one of the eight persons on the ark, worthy enough to escape the flood:.1Peter 3:20.

2Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample.(another spelling of word 'example').unto those that after should live unGodly;

Living unGodly is the automatic way all us humans have lived without the knowledge of God in our hearts.

The example here showing what the Creator thinks of those living with a low consciousness as compared to the higher consciousness way of thinking.

2Peter 2:7,8 And delivered just.(word 'just', here means 'righteous').Lot, vexed.(original is 'tired', exhausted'; it drained him).with the filthy conversation.(old English word for 'conduct').of the wicked. For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds.

2Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to deliver the Godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.

2Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to deliver the Godly.(those who want to do good).out of temptations and to reserve the unjust.(those who do selfishness because of greed at any cost to others).unto the day of judgment to be punished.

Original for word 'punished' is 'to lop or prune, as trees and wings', 'to curb', 'check', 'restrain'; 'to chastise', 'correct', 'punish' (God doesn't punish per se. It's the automatic laws the Creator set up at the time the multiverse was formed that can wreak.havoc in a one's life, one law being, we reap what we have sown). The word 'punish' does not mean to destroy (Proverbs 3:12; Hebrews 12:6) or punish in hell. But then, when is this day of judgment for retribution?

2Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

2Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government.(original for 'government' is 'dominion'; the same word is also translated 'Lord' in the New Testament, but means here, they resent what they regard as encroaching towards their self-centered concerns, their 'lord' and they regard ideas toward helping others as threats to self-governance, where any impressions on their minds outside of selfish purposes are disregarded; they are characterized by being dogmatically impatient of contradiction). Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.(original is 'opinions', in this case, ideas of others not in line with their mind's limitations; they just don't see deep because they don't want to and they don't want to because they hold their own corrupt life's ways close to them {1Timothy 4:2} and why is that?.2Corinthians 3:16).

Jude 1:8.

2Peter 2:11.Whereas.angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

Where those angels lesser in power and might are the ones who don't hesitate to accuse others, hoping for their destruction?.Revelation 12:10. "...the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."

God sees all and knows the thoughts:.Proverbs 15:26 "The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasant words."

Jude 1:9.

2Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things they don't comprehend and shall utterly perish because of the corruption that typifies them;

2Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts.(from birth, they just got worse, why?), made to be taken.(word 'made' in original is 'a certain kind that appeared toward destruction' of others and themselves; what 'kind' was this that are on the evil side with actions from their own minds?).and destroyed.(Psalms 49:20), speak evil of the things.(things like what?).they don't comprehend.(original for 'don't comprehend' is 'ignorant of', 'understand not'; they were closed-minded to learning truths of life that are readily.evident:.2Peter 3:5).and shall utterly perish.(original for 'and shall utterly perish' is 'be destroyed').because of the corruption that typifies them.(?);

Ancient David was righteously unforgiving when responding to criminals.

2Peter 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness.(*), as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings.(original also is 'cheat' and 'beguile').while they live amongst you in society.

They can be friendly enough to easily and willingly sit down with you for say, a meal, having a good time with you and others, but their heart may not be good. How would you know?.Proverbs 14:25; Matthew 7:16,20; 15:8; 1John 4:6.

The verse here can also apply today re the corrupt leaders, politicians and anyone else who is like as those in this verse refers to.

2Peter 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin.(that's why satanists never tell the truth:.John 8:44); beguiling unstable souls. They have a heart they exercise with covetous practices and are cursed children;

'Cursed children' refers to drugged, electrified, experimented on, mind controlled and badly abused and even killed on purpose, children, by those who do such horrific things for their own perverted pleasures, because they too were abused similarly. And who are they today doing such things? Find out, see Janet Ossebaard reports.

2Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam.(Numbers 24:25).the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.

He loved getting an unfair advantage over others.

2Peter 2:16 But was rebuked for his iniquity, the dumb ass speaking with man's voice.(Numbers 22:1-4).forbad the madness of the prophet.

2Peter 2:17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

2Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh.(an appeal to selfishness to suck you into the dark side), through much wantonness.(the 'exciting' prospect of the things of the dark side; whysilly women are attracted to the 'fringy' guys), those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Barnes Notes: The word 'allure' is the same original word used as 'beguiling' in verse 14 above and as 'enticed' in James 1:14. It does not elsewhere occur in the New Testament. It means that they make use of deceitful arts to allure, ensnare, or beguile others. The means which it is here said they employed, were the lusts of the flesh, that is, they promised unlimited indulgence to the carnal appetites or taught such doctrines that their followers would feel themselves free to give unrestrained liberty to such propensities. This has been quite a common method in the world, of inducing men to embrace false doctrines. See how these things have affected you through the control of you by others who are incredibly evil.

2Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption. For of whom.(original 'what', 'which', 'whom', 'that', 'whereof').a man is overcome.(whatever a man is overcome by), of the same is he brought in bondage.

2Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions.(original 'anything which causes an individual to be dyed with another color, speaking of one's character).of the world through the knowledge of.(2Peter 1:2,3).the Lord and Saviour Emmanuel the Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome.(decided not to stay away), the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2Peter 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment.(the 'holy commandment' is love; 'holy' is 'wholeness', the oneness of love:.Mark 12:29-31; 2Peter 3:14).delivered unto them.

Why would it have been better? Better conscience.wise:.1Timothy 4:2 "...their conscience seared with a hot iron."

How then does one remain constant in good? 

2Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb.(Proverbs 26:11), The dog is turned to his own vomit again and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.(muddy ground).

Important to decide not to lose what has been gained. One needs to be on the qui vive.
