ペテロの第二の手紙 2:13-14 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Peter 2:10-22

The apostle's design being to warn us of, and arm us against, seducers, he now returns to discourse more particularly of them, and give us an account of their character and conduct, which abundantly justifies the righteous Judge of the world in reserving them in an especial manner for the most severe and heavy doom, as Cain is taken under special protection that he might be kept for uncommon vengeance. But why will God thus deal with these false teachers? This he shows in what follows. I.... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 2 Peter 2:12-14

2:12-14 But these, like brute beasts, knowing no law but their instincts, born only for capture and corruption, speak evil of the things about which they know nothing; they will be destroyed with their own corruption, and, like a man who is cheated, they will even lose the reward at which their iniquity aimed. They regard daylight debauchery as pleasure. They are spots and blots, revelling in their dissipations, carousing in their cliques amongst you. They have eyes full of adultery, eyes... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 2:13

And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness ,.... Due punishment, both in body and soul, for all their injustice to God and men; which will be a just recompense of reward they shall receive at the righteous judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his works: the justice of which appears by what follows, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime ; who place all their satisfaction and happiness in sensual delight, in rioting and drunkenness, in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 2:14

Having eyes full of adultery ,.... For the seventh command is not only violated by unclean actions, and obscene words, but also by unchaste looks: and so the Jews explain F11 T. Hieros. Beracot, fol. 3. 3. that precept, ""thou shalt not commit adultery", Exodus 20:14 ; you shall not go after your hearts, nor after "your eyes"; says R. Levi, the heart and the "eye" are sin's two brokers.' Hence we read F12 Vajikra Rabba, sect. 23. fol. 165. 1. Vid. A. Gell. Noct. Attic. l. 3.... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:13

They that count it pleasure to riot in the day time - Most sinners, in order to practice their abominable pleasures, seek the secrecy of the night; but these, bidding defiance to all decorum, decency, and shame, take the open day, and thus proclaim their impurities to the sun. Spots - and blemishes - They are a disgrace to the Christian name. Sporting themselves - Forming opinions which give license to sin, and then acting on those opinions; and thus rioting in their own deceits. ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:14

Having eyes full of adultery - Μοιχαλιδος· Of an adulteress; being ever bent on the gratification of their sensual desires, so that they are represented as having an adulteress constantly before their eyes, and that their eyes can take in no other object but her. But instead of μοιχαλιδος of an adulteress, the Codex Alexandrinus, three others, with the Coptic, Vulgate, and one copy of the Itala, together with several of the fathers, have μοιχαλιας , of adultery. Cannot cease from... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:13

Verse 13 13.Count it pleasure (171) As though he had said, “They place their happiness in their present enjoyments.” We know that men excel brute animals in this, that they extend their thoughts much farther. It is, then, a base thing in man to be occupied only with present things. Here he reminds us that our minds ought to be freed from the gratifications of the flesh, except we wish to be reduced to the state of beasts. The meaning of what follows is this, “These are filthy spots to you and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:14

Verse 14 14.Beguiling, or baiting, unstable souls. By the metaphor of baiting he reminds the faithful to beware of their hidden and deceitful arts; for he compares their impostures to hooks which may catch the unwary to their destruction. By adding unstable souls he shews the reason for caution, that is, when we have not struck firm roots in faith and in the fear of the Lord: and he intimates at the same time, that they have no excuse who suffer themselves to be baited or lured by such... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Peter 2:13

And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness. The two most ancient manuscripts read here, instead of κομιούμενοι ἀδικούμενοι . This reading is adopted by the Revised Version in the translation, "suffering wrong as the hire of wrongdoing." But the other reading is well supported, and gives a better sense, "receiving, as they shall, the reward of unrighteousness." Balaam loved the reward of unrighteousness in this world ( 2 Peter 2:15 ); the false teachers shall receive its final... read more
