F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Peter 2:12-22

the Dark Way of Animalism 2 Peter 2:12-22 The description of these false teachers is terrific! They are slaves to their brute instincts. They are as abusive as they are ignorant. They destroy and will be destroyed. They feast daintily in the broad daylight, instead of leading abstemious and sober lives. With them, the very church feasts were occasions for self-indulgence. Their eyes never ceased from the sin against which the Lord warns us in Matthew 5:28 . Balaam is an awful example of... 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 2:10-19

Peter’s Indictment Of The False Preachers (2 Peter 2:10-19 ). Peter accuses the false teachers, who are in total contrast to Noah and Lot, both of whom had had connections with angelic beings in one way or another, but had not become obsessed with such things, of a number of things: · Firstly that they treated spiritual beings and their doings lightly. They were arrogant in their dealings with the spiritual world, and especially with regard to Satan. The impression given is they saw... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:18-19

‘For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from those who live in error, promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption.’ Peter then expands on what he means. Their teaching is made up of great swellings of vanity, their attraction and lure is through the lusts of the flesh, which appeal to men’s worst natures. Everything is from the wrong motive and directed towards the wrong... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Peter 2:19

‘For of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage.’ Even while they speak of freedom they are themselves bondslaves. For the truth is that whoever or whatever overcomes a man, brings him into bondage. And they, being overcome by such things, are themselves slaves to sex, and revelry, and drunkenness. And the same is true for those who follow them. Compare Revelation 2:22. Seneca similarly said, "To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes." read more

2 Peter 2:18-Song of Solomon : . Uttering vain words they snare in the lusts of the flesh those who were just escaping (or, had actually escaped) from heathen vices, promising them liberty, while all the time they are themselves the slaves of sin. Having once been rescued from the defilements of the world, they have again become enslaved, and their last state is worse than their first; better to remain a heathen than become an apostate. 2 Peter 2:22 . The first proverb is found in Proverbs... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:18

Great swelling words of vanity; i.e. big words, full of sound, and void of sense, at least of truth. He seems to tax the affected, vain speech of seducers, who were wont to clothe their erroneous doctrines (if not disguise the truths of God) with strange, uncouth phrases, which made a show of some rare discoveries, or deep mysteries, whereas indeed they were empty of any thing solid, or tending to edification. They allure: as with a bait; a metaphor taken from the manner of taking fish. Through... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Peter 2:19

While they promise them liberty; liberty for their lusts, and so from the yoke of the Divine law. They abused the name of Christian liberty, and extended it to licentiousness. They themselves are the servants of corruption; under the power and dominion of sin. For of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage: he alludes to the law of war, according to which, he that is overcome, and taken captive by his enemy, becomes his servant. These false teachers, that talked so much of... read more

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES2 Peter 2:10. Despise government.—Dominion. Both self-restraint and restraint of good rules and wise authorities. Those who own no superior.
