2 Peter THE OWNER AND HIS SLAVES 2Pe_2:1 . The institution of slavery was one of the greatest blots on ancient civilisation. It was twice cursed, cursing both parties, degrading each, turning the slave into a chattel, and the master, in many cases, into a brute. Christianity, as represented in the New Testament, never says a word to condemn it, but Christianity has killed it. ‘Make the tree good and its fruit good.’ Do not aim at institutions, change the people that live under them and you... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Peter 2:1-11

Doom and Deliverance 2 Peter 2:1-11 Already the early Church was threatened with destructive heresies introduced by men who desired only their self-aggrandizement. All the Apostles give warning against such, and point to character as the one supreme test of doctrine. The real drift of the heresies is to deny the Master, who bought us as slaves in the market of the world. Of all the bidders, there is none who has bidden so high as he. Many instances are quoted from the past to prove the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Peter 2:1-22

Turning to the subject of the perils threatening the Church, two are referred to - false teachers, and a materialization of mind which follows on such teaching. As in old days there were false prophets, so we are told there will be false teachers. Hence the necessity for watchfulness. The teachers referred to are those who deny the Lord. The apostle illustrated the effect of such false interpretation by the example of Lot, who, being a righteous man, yet lost his influence in Sodom. In... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Peter 2:1-22

Timely Warnings 2 Peter 2:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It has been said that "to be forewarned is to be forearmed." If God had not told us the things which would surely come, to pass, we would not be prepared to meet them. It is not a delight to know of the days of darkness hovering around us, but it is necessary to know. 1. The sweep and sway of false teachers. The opening verse of our Scripture says, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:1

‘But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who will surreptitiously bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.’ Just as false prophets had always arisen in Israel, to oppose the true prophets described in 2 Peter 1:19-21, so now they also must expect false teachers who will seek to lead them astray. They will make a pretence of being Christian, but will really deny... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:1-3

The False Teachers, Their Message And Its Consequences (2 Peter 2:1-3 ). The future tense here is probably intended simply to be a general future. The point is that the false teachers are at present among them and will continue on into the future. There will always be false teachers as Jesus had constantly warned. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:1-9

2 Peter 2:1-1 Samuel : . As there were false prophets in Israel, so there will arise false teachers among the faithful. (Writing from the assumed standpoint of the apostolic age, he projects their coming into the future; in 2 Peter 2:10 they are regarded as already active; cf. 2 Peter 3:3 ; 2 Peter 3:17.) By their vicious lives they will deny the Master who bought them. Many will follow them, thus causing the Gentiles to blaspheme the Church. But their punishment is certain. God’ s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:1

But there were false prophets also: the apostle having been exhorting them to continuance and progress in faith, admonishes them here of such as might labour to draw them from it; and having made mention of the Old Testament prophets, holy men of God, he hereby takes occasion to tell them of, and caution them against, false teachers which would be among themselves. This also in the text plainly relates to what went before: q.d. Together with those prophets which were sent by God, there were... read more
