ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 cast them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;
AndG2532 turningG5077 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 andG2532 GomorrhaG1116 into ashesG5077 condemnedG2632 them with an overthrowG2692, makingG5087 them an ensampleG5262 unto those that after shouldG3195 live ungodlyG764;
AndG2532 deliveredG4506 justG1342 LotG3091, vexedG2669 withG5259 the filthyG766 conversationG391 ofG1722 the wickedG113:
(ForG1063 that righteous manG1342 dwellingG1460 amongG1722 themG846, in seeingG990 andG2532 hearingG189, vexedG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 from dayG2250 toG1537 dayG2250 with their unlawfulG459 deedsG2041;)
The LordG2962 knowethG1492 how to deliverG4506 the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083 the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849:
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391. {government: or, dominion}
WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG5607 greater inG3187 powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342 notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962. {them: some read, themselves}
ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
And shall receiveG2865 the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that countG2233 it pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792 withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG539 while they feastG4910 with youG5213;
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
TheseG3778 areG1526 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG2217 of darknessG4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165.
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
While they promiseG1861 themG846 libertyG1657, they themselvesG846 areG5225 the servantsG1401 of corruptionG5356: forG1063 of whomG3739 a manG5100 is overcomeG2274+G2532, of the sameG5129 is he brought in bondageG1402.
ForG1063 ifG1487 after they have escapedG668 the pollutionsG3393 of the worldG2889 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of the LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, they areG1707 againG3825 entangledG1707 thereinG5125, andG1161 overcomeG1096+G2274, the latter endG2078 is worseG5501 with themG846 than the beginningG4413.
ForG1063 it had beenG2258 betterG2909 for themG846 notG3361 to have knownG1921 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, thanG2228, after they have knownG1921 it, to turnG1994 fromG1537 the holyG40 commandmentG1785 deliveredG3860 unto themG846.
ButG1161 it is happenedG4819 unto themG846 according toG3588 the trueG227 proverbG3942, The dogG2965 is turnedG1994 toG1909 his ownG2398 vomitG1829 againG1994; andG2532 the sowG5300 that was washedG3068 toG1519 her wallowingG2946 in the mireG1004.

ButG1161 there was a certainG5100 manG435, calledG3686 SimonG4613, which beforetimeG4391 inG1722 the same cityG4172 used sorceryG3096, andG2532 bewitchedG1839 the peopleG1484 of SamariaG4540, giving outG3004 that himselfG1438 wasG1511 someG5100 great oneG3173:
