彼得后书 2

对假教师的审判

1 不过，在子民当中也出现过假先知；照样，在你们当中也会有假教师。他们会偷偷引进使人灭亡t的异端t，甚至否认那救赎他们的主，给自己招来快速的灭亡t。2 许多人会随从他们好色t的事；真理之道t也会因他们的缘故，受到亵渎。3 他们因着贪心t，会用捏造的话利用你们t。对他们的惩罚，从太古的时候就没有失效，他们的灭亡t也不耽延t。

4 要知道：既然神没有顾惜那些犯罪的天使，把他们扔进地狱，囚禁在幽暗的坑里，拘留到审判的时候；5 既然神也没有顾惜上古的世界，使洪水临到那不敬神的世界，只保守了义的传道者挪亚一家八口；6 既然神又定了所多玛和格摩拉的罪，把这二城倾覆t，烧成灰烬，做为以后不敬神之人的鉴戒；7 既然神拯救了那因恶人t的好色行为而哀伤的义人罗得——8 因为这义人住在他们中间，看见又听见他们的不法行为，他公义的心天天受到折磨——9 那么，主就知道怎样拯救敬神的人脱离试炼t，却把不义的人留在惩罚之下，直到审判的日子，

10 尤其对那些随从肉体而在污秽的欲望中生活t、轻视主权者的人，更是这样。
这些人胆大、任性，毫不战兢地亵渎那些有荣耀的。11 就算是天使们，虽然有更大的力量和权能，也不在主面前用毁谤的话控告他们。12 但这些人就像没有理性的动物，生来就是靠本能的，是为了捕捉和宰杀的；他们亵渎自己所不明白的，也将在自己的衰朽t中被毁灭t。13 他们行不义，就得不义的酬报t；他们把白昼的放荡看做是享乐；他们是污渍和瑕疵；他们与你们一起吃喝的时候，以自己的诡诈为乐；14 他们眼中充满了淫欲和无止境的罪；他们引诱不坚定的人t；他们心中习惯了贪婪；他们是被诅咒的儿女；15 他们离开了正道就被迷惑，随从了比珥的儿子巴兰的路——这巴兰喜爱不义的酬报，16 却为自己的过犯受了责备：一头不能说话的驴，竟用人的声音说出话来，拦阻了这先知的狂妄。

17 这些人是无水的泉源，是被暴风吹逐的云雾；有漆黑的幽暗t为他们存留。18 他们说虚妄夸大的话，以肉体的欲望和好色的事来引诱人；这些被引诱的人好不容易才t逃脱那些生活在迷途中的人；19 他们许诺给这些人自由，自己却是衰朽t的奴隶。要知道，一个人被什么制伏，就成为什么的奴隶。20 原来，他们如果藉着认识我们的主、救主耶稣基督而逃脱这世界的污秽，却又被这些污秽纠缠、制伏了，那么，他们最后的情况就比先前更坏了；21 因为认识了义的道路以后，背离那交托给他们的神圣诫命，对他们来说，倒不如不认识还好。22 在他们身上正应验了这真实的俗语：“狗转身回到自己所吐的东西；t猪洗干净了又到污泥中打滚。”

2 Peter 2

The False Teachers’ Ungodly Lifestyle

1 But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.s These false teacherst wills infiltrate your midstt with destructive heresies,t even to the point oft denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bringt swift destruction on themselves.2 And many will follow their debauched lifestyles.t Because of these false teachers,t the way of truth will be slandered.t

3 And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Theirt condemnation pronounced long agot is not sitting idly by;t theirt destruction is not asleep.
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned,t but threw them into hellt and locked them upt in chainss in utter darkness,t to be kept until the judgment,5 and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others,t when Godt brought a flood on an ungodly world,t6 and if he turned to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah when he condemned them to destruction,sts having appointedt them to serve as an examplet to future generations of the ungodly,t7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man in anguish over the debauched lifestyle of lawlesst men,t8 (for while he lived among them day after day, that righteous man was tormented in his righteous soult by the lawless deeds he saw and heardt)9 – if so,t then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials,t and to reserve the unrighteous for punishmentt at the day of judgment,

10 especially those who indulge their fleshly desirest and who despise authority.
Brazen and insolent,t they are not afraid to insultt the glorious ones,t11 yet event angels, who are much more powerful,t do not bring a slanderoust judgment against them before the Lord.s12 Butt these men,t like irrational animals – creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyedt – do not understand whomt they are insulting, and consequentlyt in their destruction they will be destroyed,t13 suffering harm as the wages for their harmful ways.t By considering it a pleasure to carouse in broad daylight,t they are stains and blemishes, indulgingt in their deceitful pleasures when they feast together with you.14 Their eyes,t full of adultery,t never stop sinning;t they enticet unstable people.t They have trained their hearts for greed, these cursed children!t15 By forsaking the right path they have gone astray, because they followed the way of Balaam son of Bosor,t who loved the wages of unrighteousness,t

16 yet was rebukedt for his own transgression (a dumb donkey,t speaking with a human voice,t restrained the prophet’s madness).s
17 These ment are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm, for whom the utter depths of darknesst have been reserved.18 For by speaking high-sounding but empty wordst they are able to entice,t with fleshly desires and with debauchery,t peoplet who have just escapedt from those who reside in error.t19 Although these false teachers promiset such peoplet freedom, they themselves are enslaved tot immorality.t For whatever a person succumbs to, to that he is enslaved.t20 For if after they have escaped the filthy thingst of the world through the rich knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,s theyt again get entangled in them and succumb to them,t their last state has become worse for them than their first.21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them.

22 They are illustrations of this true proverb:t “A dog returns to its own vomit,”t and “A sow, after washing herself,t wallows in the mire.”t
