KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
But
there were
false prophets also
among the people, even
as there shall be false teachers among
you
, who privily
shall bring in damnable
heresies
, even
denying
the Lord
that
bought them, and
bring
upon
themselves swift
destruction .
And
there did
come
also
false prophets among the people, as also
among
you
there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides
destructive
sects
, and
the Master
who
bought them denying
, bringing
to
themselves quick
destruction ,
And many shall follow their pernicious
ways ;
by
reason
of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of .
and many shall follow out
their destructive
ways ,
because
of whom the way of the
truth shall be evil spoken of ,
And through
covetousness shall
they
with feigned
words make
merchandise
of you :
whose judgment now
of a
long
time
lingereth
not, and their damnation
slumbereth
not.
and in
covetousness ,
with moulded
words ,
of you they
shall
make
merchandise,
whose judgment of old
is
not idle
, and their destruction
doth
not slumber
.
For if God spared
not
the
angels
that
sinned, but cast them down to hell
, and
delivered
them into
chains
of
darkness,
to be
reserved
unto
judgment ;
For if God messengers
who
sinned did
not
spare
, but with
chains
of
thick
gloom,
having
cast `
them '
down to Tartarus
, did
deliver
`
them '
to judgment ,
having
been
reserved,
And spared
not
the old world, but saved
Noah
the eighth person, a
preacher
of righteousness, bringing
in
the
flood upon
the world of the ungodly;
and the old world did
not
spare
, but the eighth person, Noah,
of righteousness a
preacher
, did
keep,
a
flood on
the world of the impious
having
brought,
And turning
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha
into
ashes condemned
them
with an overthrow, making
them
an ensample
unto
those that
after
should
live
ungodly
;
and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
having
turned
to
ashes ,
with an overthrow did
condemn
, an example
to
those about
to
be
impious
having
set
`them'
;
And delivered
just
Lot, vexed
with
the filthy
conversation
of the wicked:
and righteous
Lot, worn
down
by
the conduct
in
lasciviousness
of the impious,
He
did
rescue,
(
For that
righteous
man
dwelling
among
them,
in seeing and hearing, vexed
his
righteous soul
from
day to
day with their
unlawful deeds;)
for in seeing and hearing, the
righteous man,
dwelling
among
them,
day by
day the
righteous
soul
with unlawful works
was
harassing.
The Lord knoweth
how
to deliver
the
godly
out of temptations
, and to reserve
the
unjust
unto
the
day of judgment to
be
punished :
The Lord hath
known
to rescue
pious
ones
out of temptation
, and unrighteous
ones
to a
day of judgment ,
being
punished ,
to
keep,
But
chiefly them
that
walk
after
the flesh in the
lust
of uncleanness, and despise
government.
Presumptuous are
they
, selfwilled
, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
and
chiefly those
going
behind
the flesh in desire
of uncleanness, and lordship
despising;
presumptuous, self-complacent
, dignities
they are not afraid to speak evil of ,
Whereas angels
, which
are
greater
in power
and might
, bring
not railing
accusation
against them before the Lord .
whereas messengers
, in strength
and power
being
greater
, do
not bear
against them before the Lord an
evil
speaking
judgment;
But
these, as natural brute
beasts, made to be taken
and destroyed ,
speak
evil
of
the
things that
they understand
not;
and
shall
utterly
perish
in their own
corruption;
and
these, as irrational
natural beasts, made to be caught
and destroyed --
in
what
things they are
ignorant
of,
speaking
evil
--
in their destruction
shall
be
destroyed,
And
shall
receive the
reward of unrighteousness, as
they
that
count
it
pleasure
to
riot
in the day time.
Spots they
are
and blemishes, sporting
themselves
with
their own
deceivings
while
they
feast
with you ;
about
to
receive a
reward of unrighteousness, pleasures
counting
the
luxury
in the day ,
spots and blemishes, luxuriating
in
their deceits,
feasting
with you ,
Having eyes full of adultery, and that
cannot
cease from sin ;
beguiling
unstable souls :
an heart they
have
exercised with
covetous
practices;
cursed
children :
having eyes full of adultery, and unable
to
cease from sin ,
enticing
unstable souls ,
having
an heart exercised in
covetousnesses,
children of
a
curse,
Which
have
forsaken the
right way, and
are
gone
astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved
the
wages
of unrighteousness ;
having
forsaken a
right way, they
did
go
astray, having
followed
in
the way of Balaam the `
son '
of Bosor, who a
reward
of unrighteousness did
love,
But
was
rebuked
for
his iniquity :
the
dumb ass speaking
with
man's voice forbad
the madness of the prophet.
and
had
a
rebuke
of
his own
iniquity --
a
dumb ass ,
in
man's voice having
spoken,
did
forbid
the madness of the prophet.
These are wells without water, clouds that
are
carried
with
a tempest ;
to whom the mist
of darkness is
reserved
for
ever.
These are wells without water, and
clouds by
a tempest driven,
to whom the thick
gloom
of the
darkness to
the
age
hath
been
kept;
For when
they
speak
great
swelling
words
of vanity, they allure
through
the
lusts
of the flesh ,
through
much
wantonness
, those that
were
clean
escaped from them
who
live
in error .
for overswellings
of vanity speaking
, they do
entice
in
desires
of the flesh --
lasciviousnesses
, those who
had
truly
escaped from those
conducting
themselves
in error ,
While
they
promise
them
liberty, they
themselves are
the
servants of corruption :
for of
whom a
man
is
overcome, of
the
same
is
he brought in
bondage.
liberty to
them
promising
, themselves being
servants of the
corruption ,
for by
whom any
one
hath
been
overcome, to
this
one
also
he hath
been
brought to
servitude,
For if after
they
have
escaped the pollutions of the world through
the knowledge
of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they
are
again entangled therein
, and
overcome, the latter
end
is
worse with
them
than the beginning.
for ,
if having
escaped from
the pollutions of the world ,
in
the acknowledging
of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and
by
these
again being
entangled, they
have
been
overcome, become
to
them
hath
the last
things
worse than the first,
For it had
been
better for
them not to have known
the way of righteousness, than ,
after
they
have
known
it, to turn from the holy commandment
delivered unto
them .
for it were
better to
them not to have acknowledged
the way of the
righteousness, than having
acknowledged
`
it '
, to turn back
from the holy command
delivered to
them ,
But
it
is
happened unto
them
according
to the true proverb,
The
dog is
turned
to
his own vomit again;
and the
sow that
was
washed
to her
wallowing
in the
mire.
and
happened to them
hath
that
of
the true similitude;
`A
dog did
turn
back
upon
his own vomit ,'
and ,
`A
sow having
bathed
herself
--
to rolling
in mire. '
