2 Peter

Chapter 2

Phonetic (Greek): Ἐgenonto de kai pseudoprophetai en tῷ laῷ, hos kai en hymin esontai pseudodidaskaloi, ohitines pareisaxousin ahireseis apoleias, kai ton agorasanta aytoys despoten arnoymenoi, epagontes heautois tachinen apoleian·

Edified Edition (EDE)But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Ἐγένοντο δὲ καὶ ψευδοπροφῆται ἐν τῷ λαῷ, ὡς καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσονται ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι, οἵτινες παρεισάξουσιν αἱρέσεις ἀπωλείας, καὶ τὸν ἀγοράσαντα αὐτοὺς δεσπότην ἀρνούμενοι, ἐπάγοντες ἑαυτοῖς ταχινὴν ἀπώλειαν·

Phonetic (Greek): kai polloi exakolouthesousin ayton tais aselgeiais, diʼ ohys he hodos tes aletheias blasphemethesetai·

Edified Edition (EDE)And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

καὶ πολλοὶ ἐξακολουθήσουσιν αὐτῶν ταῖς ἀσελγείαις, διʼ οὓς ἡ ὁδὸς τῆς ἀληθείας βλασφημηθήσεται·

Phonetic (Greek): kai en pleonexiᾳ plastois logois hymas emporeysontai· ohis to krima ekpalai oyk argei, kai he apoleia ayton oy ⸀nystazei.

Edified Edition (EDE)And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgement now for a long time lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

καὶ ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ πλαστοῖς λόγοις ὑμᾶς ἐμπορεύσονται· οἷς τὸ κρίμα ἔκπαλαι οὐκ ἀργεῖ, καὶ ἡ ἀπώλεια αὐτῶν οὐ ⸀νυστάζει.

Phonetic (Greek): Ei gar ho theos angelon hamartesanton oyk epheisato, alla ⸀seirais zophou tartarosas paredoken eis krisin teroumenous,

Edified Edition (EDE)For if God spared not the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgement;

Εἰ γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ἀγγέλων ἁμαρτησάντων οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ⸀σειραῖς ζόφου ταρταρώσας παρέδωκεν εἰς κρίσιν τηρουμένους,

Phonetic (Greek): kai archaiou kosmou oyk epheisato, alla ogdoon Noe dikaiosynes keryka ephylaxen, kataklysmon kosmῳ asebon epaxas,

Edified Edition (EDE)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;

καὶ ἀρχαίου κόσμου οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὄγδοον Νῶε δικαιοσύνης κήρυκα ἐφύλαξεν, κατακλυσμὸν κόσμῳ ἀσεβῶν ἐπάξας,

Phonetic (Greek): kai poleis Sodomon kai Gomorras tephrosas ⸀katastrophῇ katekrinen, hypodeigma mellonton ⸀asebesin tetheikos,

Edified Edition (EDE)And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who after should live ungodly;

καὶ πόλεις Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρας τεφρώσας ⸀καταστροφῇ κατέκρινεν, ὑπόδειγμα μελλόντων ⸀ἀσεβέσιν τεθεικώς,

Phonetic (Greek): kai dikaion Lot kataponoymenon hypo tes ton athesmon en aselgeiᾳ anastrophes errysato—

Edified Edition (EDE)And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conduct of the wicked:

καὶ δίκαιον Λὼτ καταπονούμενον ὑπὸ τῆς τῶν ἀθέσμων ἐν ἀσελγείᾳ ἀναστροφῆς ἐρρύσατο—

Phonetic (Greek): blemmati gar kai akoῇ ⸀ho dikaios enkatoikon en aytois hemeran ex hemeras psychen dikaian anomois ergois ebasanizen—

Edified Edition (EDE)(For that righteous person dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

βλέμματι γὰρ καὶ ἀκοῇ ⸀ὁ δίκαιος ἐγκατοικῶν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ψυχὴν δικαίαν ἀνόμοις ἔργοις ἐβασάνιζεν—

Phonetic (Greek): oiden kyrios eysebeis ek peirasmoy ῥyesthai, adikous de eis hemeran kriseos kolazomenous terein,

Edified Edition (EDE)The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of trials, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgement to be punished:

οἶδεν κύριος εὐσεβεῖς ἐκ πειρασμοῦ ῥύεσθαι, ἀδίκους δὲ εἰς ἡμέραν κρίσεως κολαζομένους τηρεῖν,

Phonetic (Greek): malista de toys opiso sarkos en epithymiᾳ miasmoy poreuomenous kai kyriotetos kataphronoyntas. Tolmetai, aythadeis, doxas oy tremousin, blasphemoyntes,

Edified Edition (EDE)But chiefly those who 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.

μάλιστα δὲ τοὺς ὀπίσω σαρκὸς ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ μιασμοῦ πορευομένους καὶ κυριότητος καταφρονοῦντας. Τολμηταί, αὐθάδεις, δόξας οὐ τρέμουσιν, βλασφημοῦντες,

Phonetic (Greek): hopou angeloi ischyi kai dynamei meizones ontes oy pherousin katʼ ⸀ayton blasphemon krisin.

Edified Edition (EDE)Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

ὅπου ἄγγελοι ἰσχύϊ καὶ δυνάμει μείζονες ὄντες οὐ φέρουσιν κατʼ ⸀αὐτῶν βλάσφημον κρίσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): ohytoi de, hos aloga zῷa ⸂gegennemena physika⸃ eis halosin kai phthoran, en ohis agnooysin blasphemoyntes, en tῇ phthorᾷ ayton ⸂kai phtharesontai⸃,

Edified Edition (EDE)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;

οὗτοι δέ, ὡς ἄλογα ζῷα ⸂γεγεννημένα φυσικὰ⸃ εἰς ἅλωσιν καὶ φθοράν, ἐν οἷς ἀγνοοῦσιν βλασφημοῦντες, ἐν τῇ φθορᾷ αὐτῶν ⸂καὶ φθαρήσονται⸃,

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀adikoymenoi misthon adikias· hedonen hegoymenoi ten en hemerᾳ tryphen, spiloi kai momoi entryphontes en tais ⸀apatais ayton syneuochoymenoi hymin,

Edified Edition (EDE)And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

⸀ἀδικούμενοι μισθὸν ἀδικίας· ἡδονὴν ἡγούμενοι τὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τρυφήν, σπίλοι καὶ μῶμοι ἐντρυφῶντες ἐν ταῖς ⸀ἀπάταις αὐτῶν συνευωχούμενοι ὑμῖν,

Phonetic (Greek): ophthalmoys echontes mestoys moichalidos kai ⸀akatapaystous hamartias, deleazontes psychas asteriktous, kardian gegymnasmenen pleonexias echontes, kataras tekna,

Edified Edition (EDE)Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες μεστοὺς μοιχαλίδος καὶ ⸀ἀκαταπαύστους ἁμαρτίας, δελεάζοντες ψυχὰς ἀστηρίκτους, καρδίαν γεγυμνασμένην πλεονεξίας ἔχοντες, κατάρας τέκνα,

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀katalipontes eytheian hodon eplanethesan, exakolouthesantes tῇ hodῷ toy Balaam toy ⸀Bosor hos misthon adikias egapesen

Edified Edition (EDE)Who have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

⸀καταλιπόντες εὐθεῖαν ὁδὸν ἐπλανήθησαν, ἐξακολουθήσαντες τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ Βαλαὰμ τοῦ ⸀Βοσὸρ ὃς μισθὸν ἀδικίας ἠγάπησεν

Phonetic (Greek): elenxin de eschen idias paranomias· hypozygion aphonon en anthropou phonῇ phthenxamenon ekolysen ten toy prophetou paraphronian.

Edified Edition (EDE)But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb donkey speaking with a person’s voice forbade the madness of the prophet.

ἔλεγξιν δὲ ἔσχεν ἰδίας παρανομίας· ὑποζύγιον ἄφωνον ἐν ἀνθρώπου φωνῇ φθεγξάμενον ἐκώλυσεν τὴν τοῦ προφήτου παραφρονίαν.

Phonetic (Greek): Ohytoi eisin pegai anydroi ⸂kai homichlai⸃ hypo lailapos elaunomenai, ohis ho zophos toy ⸀skotous teteretai.

Edified Edition (EDE)These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; for whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever.

Οὗτοί εἰσιν πηγαὶ ἄνυδροι ⸂καὶ ὁμίχλαι⸃ ὑπὸ λαίλαπος ἐλαυνόμεναι, οἷς ὁ ζόφος τοῦ ⸀σκότους τετήρηται.

Phonetic (Greek): hyperonka gar mataiotetos phthengomenoi deleazousin en epithymiais sarkos aselgeiais toys ⸀oligos ⸀apopheygontas toys en planῃ anastrephomenous,

Edified Edition (EDE)For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those who were clean escaped from those who live in error.

ὑπέρογκα γὰρ ματαιότητος φθεγγόμενοι δελεάζουσιν ἐν ἐπιθυμίαις σαρκὸς ἀσελγείαις τοὺς ⸀ὀλίγως ⸀ἀποφεύγοντας τοὺς ἐν πλάνῃ ἀναστρεφομένους,

Phonetic (Greek): eleutherian aytois epangellomenoi, aytoi doyloi hyparchontes tes phthoras· ho gar tis hettetai, toytῳ ⸀kai dedoylotai.

Edified Edition (EDE)While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a person is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

ἐλευθερίαν αὐτοῖς ἐπαγγελλόμενοι, αὐτοὶ δοῦλοι ὑπάρχοντες τῆς φθορᾶς· ᾧ γάρ τις ἥττηται, τούτῳ ⸀καὶ δεδούλωται.

Phonetic (Greek): ei gar apophygontes ta miasmata toy kosmou en epignosei toy ⸀kyriou kai soteros Ἰesoy Christoy toytois de palin emplakentes hettontai, gegonen aytois ta eschata cheirona ton proton.

Edified Edition (EDE)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.

εἰ γὰρ ἀποφυγόντες τὰ μιάσματα τοῦ κόσμου ἐν ἐπιγνώσει τοῦ ⸀κυρίου καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τούτοις δὲ πάλιν ἐμπλακέντες ἡττῶνται, γέγονεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔσχατα χείρονα τῶν πρώτων.

Phonetic (Greek): kreitton gar en aytois me epegnokenai ten hodon tes dikaiosynes e epignoysin ⸀hypostrepsai ek tes paradotheises aytois hagias entoles·

Edified Edition (EDE)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 to them.

κρεῖττον γὰρ ἦν αὐτοῖς μὴ ἐπεγνωκέναι τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἢ ἐπιγνοῦσιν ⸀ὑποστρέψαι ἐκ τῆς παραδοθείσης αὐτοῖς ἁγίας ἐντολῆς·

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀symbebeken aytois to tes alethoys paroimias· Kyon epistrepsas epi to idion exerama, kai· Ὗs lousamene eis ⸀kylismon borborou.

Edified Edition (EDE)But it is happened to 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."

⸀συμβέβηκεν αὐτοῖς τὸ τῆς ἀληθοῦς παροιμίας· Κύων ἐπιστρέψας ἐπὶ τὸ ἴδιον ἐξέραμα, καί· Ὗς λουσαμένη εἰς ⸀κυλισμὸν βορβόρου.
