2 Many will follow their unrestrained ways, and the way of truth will be blasphemed because of them.(A) 3 They will exploit(B) you in their greed(C) with deceptive words. Their condemnation,(D) pronounced long ago, is not idle, and their destruction does not sleep.
4 For if God didn’t spare(E) the angels who sinned but threw them down into Tartarus[a](F) and delivered them to be kept in chains[b] of darkness until judgment;(G)
