Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:13

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 2:13

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 2:13

God will give them punishment in keeping with their crimes (Romans 6:23; Galatians 6:7). Rather than concealing their carousing under the cover of darkness, they shamelessly practice immorality in broad daylight. The pagans did this in their worship of false gods. Pagan worship often involved "sacred" prostitution. These practices were similar to stains on the clean fabric of the church, blemishes on its countenance, since the practitioners claimed to be Christians (cf. Ephesians 5:27). The... read more

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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Peter 2:13

(13) And shall receive.—Literally, about to receive (as they are). (Comp. 1 Peter 1:9; 1 Peter 5:4; see also Epistle of Barnabas, iv. 12.)As they that count.—We must begin a fresh sentence, and somewhat modify the translation. “To riot” is too strong; the word means “delicate fare, dainty living, luxury,” and if the exact meaning be retained, this will necessitate a change of “in the day time.” For though “rioting in the day time” makes good sense—revelry even among professed pleasure seekers... 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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Peter 2:10-16

Chapter 24 "BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM"2 Peter 2:10-16THE Apostle now pictures in the darkest colors the evil-doing and evil character of those who are bringing into the Churches their "sects of perdition," those wolves in sheep’s clothing who are mixing themselves, and are likely to make havoc, among the flock of Christ. He hopes that thus the brethren, being forewarned, will also be forearmed. And not only does he describe these bold offenders: he also reiterates in many forms the... read more
