Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:1

CHAPTER 2This entire chapter is a prophecy of the great apostasy foretold by Christ himself and by Paul, Peter and John. It is printed as a single paragraph in the ASV, but a workable outline of it is given by Strachan, thus:[1]The false teachers and their judgment (2 Peter 2:1-3). Historical illustration of Divine judgment on the wicked, and care of the righteous (2 Peter 2:4-10a). Further description of the false teachers (2 Peter 2:10b-14). The example of Balaam (2 Peter 2:15,16). The... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:1

2 Peter 2:1. But there were false prophets— The false apostles, prophets, and teachers among the Christians, gave rise to the sects of the Ebionites, Cerinthians, Nicolaitans, Carpocratians, and Gnostics, of whom the primitive fathers have said so many dreadful things. They were not only exceedingly corrupt and vicious themselves, but great corrupters of others: they now began to shew themselves; but afterwards waxed worse and worse. Their character is drawn in this chapter in very... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 2:1

"The people" in view are God’s people in Old Testament times, the times to which Peter had just been referring (2 Peter 1:19-21). False prophets in Old Testament times sought to lead God’s people away from the revelations of the true prophets (cf. Numbers 22-24; Jeremiah 6:13; Ezekiel 13:9). False teachers in Peter’s time would try to lead God’s people away from the teaching of the apostles. These men-they were typically males in Peter’s day-would arise from the believers (cf. Jeremiah 5:31;... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:1-22

Warning Against a Threatened Plague of Brutal False TeachersAs of old there were false as well as true prophets, so it will be now. This leads the Apostle to speak about the false teachers, who if they have not already begun-he expects will trouble his readers. Prophets were important persons in the early Church: cp. Acts 11:27; 1 Corinthians 12:28.; 1 Corinthians 14:29.; Ephesians 2:20; Ephesians 3:5; Ephesians 4:11. These teachers, who had doubtless been baptised, claimed, it would seem, to... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Peter 2:1

FIRST PREDICTION: False teachers shall have great success and certain ruin (2 Peter 2:1-10).(1) But there were false prophets also.—To bring out the contrast between true and false prophets more strongly, the clause that in meaning is secondary has been made primary in form. The meaning is, “There shall be false teachers among you, as there were false prophets among the Jews;” the form is, “But (in contrast to the true prophets just mentioned) there were false prophets as well, even as,”... read more

2 Peter 2:22 'I entered on this farm,' Burns wrote to Dr. Moore (2nd Aug. 1787), 'with a full resolution, "Come, go to, I will be wise!" I read farming books, I calculated crops, I attended markets, and in short, in spite of the devil and the world and the flesh, I believe I should have been a wise man, but the first year, from unfortunately buying bad seed, the second from a late harvest, we lost half our crops. This overset all my wisdom, and I returned, "like the dog to his vomit, and the... read more
