2 Peter 2:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² These people, however, are like irrational animals, mere creatures of instinct, born to be caught and killed. They slander what they do not understand, and as those creatures are destroyed,^[a] they also will be destroyed, ¹³ suffering^[b] the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures^[c] while they feast with you.^{(A) 14} They have eyes full of adultery,^[d] insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!
