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

2 Peter 2:2. And many shall follow their pernicious ways, &c.— The absurd doctrines and wicked practices of professed Christians have done infinite harm, and often caused the enemies of religion to blaspheme. The Judaizers much infested the first Christians, and perverted many in the Churches of Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, and Crete. The Nicolaitans, Carpocratians, and Gnostics succeeded them, being exceedinglyimpious in their principles, and obscene in their lives; and they occasioned great... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:3

2 Peter 2:3. With feigned words, &c.— The phrase, πλαστοις λογοις, means, words formed to deceive; smooth and artful speeches, such as covetous merchants or unfair traders make use of, to put off bad goods. "They will make merchandize of you; use you like cattle or slaves brought to market to be sold." Judas sold his Master for what the Jews would give him: false teachers sell their doctrine for what they can get by it; so did the Gnostics, &c. in the first ages; so have all false... read more

2. follow—out: so the Greek. pernicious ways—The oldest manuscripts and Vulgate read, "licentiousness" (Judges 1:4). False doctrine and immoral practice generally go together (2 Peter 2:18; 2 Peter 2:19). by reason of whom—"on account of whom," namely, the followers of the false teachers. the way of truth shall be evil spoken of—"blasphemed" by those without, who shall lay on Christianity itself the blame of its professors' evil practice.

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

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

Reckless and hardened immorality would accompany their doctrinal error."Clearly they permitted and defended immorality in a very broad sense." [Note: Bigg, p. 273.] When people abandon God’s standard of truth they usually adopt a lower standard of morality. Since sensuality appeals to the flesh, many people follow the example of heretics believing that they are correct in doing so because of the rationalizations of their teachers."No doctrine, however senseless and monstrous, which under the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Peter 2:3

False teachers typically desire to satisfy themselves rather than God. This leads them to take advantage of their audiences.". . . Peter pointed out that the false teachers used ’feigned words.’ The Greek word is plastos, from which we get our English word plastic. Plastic words! Words that can be twisted to mean anything you want them to mean! The false teachers use our vocabulary, but they do not use our dictionary. They talk about ’salvation,’ ’inspiration,’ and the great words of the... read more
