2 Peter 2:13-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹³ suffering unrighteousness as ^(A)the wages of their unrighteousness, considering it a pleasure to ^(B)revel in the ^(C)daytime—they are stains and blemishes, ^(D)reveling in their ^[a]deceptions, as they ^(E)feast with you, ¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery and unceasing sin, ^(F)enticing ^(G)unstable souls, having a heart trained in ^(H)greed—they are ^(I)accursed children. ¹⁵ Forsaking ^(J)the right way, they have gone astray, having followed ^(K)the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved ^(L)the wages of unrighteousness, ¹⁶ but he received a rebuke for his own lawlessness, ^(M)for a mute donkey, speaking out with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

¹⁷ These are ^(N)springs without water and mists driven by a storm, ^(O)for whom the ^[b]black darkness has been kept. ¹⁸ For speaking out ^(P)arrogant words of ^(Q)vanity, they ^(R)entice by ^(S)sensual lusts of the flesh, those who barely ^(T)escape from the ones who conducted themselves in error, ¹⁹ promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for ^(U)by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
