People's Bible Notes for 2 Peter 2:10


2Pe 2:10 Chiefly them. Those next named will receive the greater punishment. That walk after the flesh. Follow its dictates and live impure lives. And despise government. Refuse to submit to authority. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. A characteristic of this class is their presumption and a want of reverence for what is high and holy. See Jude 1:8.
