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.
MANY shall follow their PERNICIOUS ways. By reason of whom the WAY of
TRUTH shall be EVIL, spoken of. Through COVETEUOSNESS shall
they with FEIGNED words make merchandise of you.Whose
JUDGEMENT now of a LONG time lingereth NOT, and their
DAMNATION slumbereth NOT.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 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.
Having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from
SIN.
Beguiling unstable souls an heart they have exercised with
COVETOUS practices. CURSED children, 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, but was rebuked for his iniquity. The dumb ass (mule) speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of DARKNESS is reserved FOR EVER.
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.
