The KJV Bible With Strong's References:

2 Peter 2
|
- 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, and
bring upon
themselves
swift
destruction.
|
- 2:2
And
many shall
follow
their pernicious
ways; by reason
of
whom the
way of
truth shall be evil spoken
of.
|
- 2:3
And
through
covetousness shall they with
feigned
words make
merchandise of
you:
whose
judgment now of a long
time
lingereth
not,
and
their
damnation
slumbereth
not.
|
- 2:4
For
if
God
spared
not the
angels that
sinned,
but cast them down to
hell, and
delivered them into
chains of
darkness, to be
reserved
unto
judgment;
|
- 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;
|
- 2:6
And
turning the
cities of
Sodom
and
Gomorrha into
ashes
condemned them with an
overthrow,
making them an
ensample unto those that after
should live
ungodly;
|
- 2:7
And
delivered
just
Lot,
vexed
with the
filthy
conversation of the
wicked:
|
- 2:8
(For that righteous
man
dwelling
among
them, in
seeing
and
hearing,
vexed his
righteous
soul from
day
to
day with their
unlawful
deeds;)
|
- 2:9 The
Lord
knoweth how to
deliver the
godly out
of
temptations,
and to
reserve the
unjust
unto the
day of
judgment to be
punished:
|
- 2:10
But
chiefly them that
walk
after the
flesh
in the
lust of
uncleanness,
and
despise
government.
Presumptuous are they,
selfwilled, they are
not
afraid to speak
evil of
dignities.
|
- 2:11
Whereas
angels, which
are greater
in
power
and
might,
bring
not
railing
accusation
against
them
before the
Lord.
|
- 2:12
But
these,
as
natural
brute
beasts,
made
to be
taken
and
destroyed, speak
evil
of the things
that they understand
not; and shall utterly
perish
in their
own
corruption;
|
- 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 while they
feast with
you;
|
- 2:14
Having
eyes
full of
adultery,
and that cannot cease
from
sin;
beguiling
unstable
souls: an
heart they
have
exercised with covetous
practices;
cursed
children:
|
- 2:15 Which have
forsaken the
right
way, and are gone
astray,
following the
way of
Balaam the son of
Bosor,
who
loved the
wages of
unrighteousness;
|
- 2:16
But
was
rebuked for
his
iniquity: the
dumb
ass
speaking
with
man's
voice
forbad the
madness of the
prophet.
|
- 2:17
These
are
wells without
water,
clouds that are
carried
with a
tempest; to
whom the
mist of
darkness is
reserved
for
ever.
|
- 2:18
For when they
speak great
swelling words of
vanity, they
allure
through the
lusts of the
flesh, through much
wantonness, those that were
clean
escaped from them who
live
in
error.
|
- 2:19 While they
promise
them
liberty, they
themselves
are the
servants of
corruption:
for of
whom a
man is
overcome
*, of the
same is he brought in
bondage.
|
- 2:20
For
if after they have
escaped the
pollutions of the
world
through the
knowledge of the
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ, they
are
again
entangled
therein,
and
overcome
* , the latter
end is
worse with
them than the
beginning.
|
- 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
delivered unto
them.
|
- 2:22
But it is
happened unto
them according
to the
true
proverb, The
dog is
turned
to his
own
vomit
again;
and the
sow that was
washed
to her
wallowing in the
mire.
