Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:12

But these, as natural brute beasts - These persons, who resemble so much irrational animals which are made to be taken and destroyed. The point of the comparison is, that they are like fierce and savage beasts that exercise no control over their appetites, and that seeM to be made only to be destroyed. These persons, by their fierce and ungovernable passions, appear to be made only for destruction, and rush blindly on to it. The word rendered “natural,” (which, however, is lacking in several... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:13

And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness - The appropriate recompense of their wickedness in the future world. Such people do not always receive the due recompense of their deeds in the present life; and as it is a great and immutable principle that all will be treated, under the government of God, as they deserve, or that justice will be rendered to every rational being, it follows that there must be punishment in the future state.As they that count it pleasure to riot in the day-time -... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Peter 2:12-14

2 Peter 2:12-14. But these False teachers; as natural brute beasts As irrational animals, led merely by their brutish inclinations, several of which, in the present disordered state of the world, seem to be made to be taken and destroyed by mankind. He speaks chiefly of savage beasts, which men for their own security and preservation hunt down and destroy; speak evil of things that they understand not Namely, the mysteries of Christianity; or magistracy, the institution, use, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 2:11-22

Character of the false teachers (2:10b-22)Being arrogant and self-assertive, the false teachers show no respect for anyone. They even insult angels, who hold a higher position than humans in the order of created beings. By contrast, the angels have such reverence for God that they dare not use insulting language in his presence, even against those who deserve condemnation (10b-11).The false teachers use neither their reasoning nor their willpower to control themselves. Like animals they simply... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:12

But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,Railing in matters whereof they are ignorant ... Paine applied these words to railers against the New Testament, thus:The characteristic of modern "liberal" critical teachers which amazes one most is their absolute confidence in their own conclusions, based upon evidence however trivial, and involving tremendously... read more

suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing; men that count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceivings while they feast with you;Wrong as the hire of wrong-doing ... is the same as Paul's "wages of sin is death." Evil behavior is its own wages.Revel in the day-time ... "Daytime revelry is a feature of extreme dissipation; for the Christian, the day is the time of work (John 9:4; Romans 13:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:7f)."[45]Spots and blemishes ...

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:12

2 Peter 2:12. But these, as natural brute beasts,— But these, as animals, by nature void of reason, born for capture and destruction, railing against things in which they are ignorant, shall be utterly corrupted [or perish] in their own corruption. Benson. Dr. Whitby would render it, But these are as animals void of reason, &c. Indeed it is evident, that it must be explained as a general assertion relating to some violence of temper; as no sin of the tongue (which is immediately afterwards... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:13

2 Peter 2:13. As they that count it pleasure to riot, &c.— Some understand St. Peter as intimating, that they lived in riot and luxury every day. Others suppose the meaning to be, that they took pleasure in that riot, which "endureth only for a day, or for a short season." The apostle seems to allude to the proverbial saying, 1 Thessalonians 5:7. They that are drunken, are drunken in the night: whereas these wicked Christians had cast off all shame, and were so abandoned, as to practise... read more
